Chapter 619
A gentle breeze blew across the meadow, the green grass rustling and rippling in its wake.
Clang!
Swords clashed, sending a shockwave that scattered blades of grass, gouged a hole in the earth, and shattered fragments of a mana barrier.
Thud! Bang! Crash!
The dark blade carved sharp, precise arcs through the air, leaving behind afterimages that were as dark as the void. I moved my sword swiftly, dodging and countering its relentless assault.
Again and again...
I couldn’t remember how many days and nights I’d met my end. It had become almost routine, a grim cycle I couldn’t escape.
Crash!
Alsbringer slipped from my hands, and the dark sword loomed closer.
Slice!
The void sword, Lament, grazed my neck, sending a sharp, chilling pain through my mind.
Everything went black.
