Chapter 13: Spar
I was standing in the fighting arena in the training area , in front of me, Zephyr was standing with a smirk .
He was resting a great red scythe on his shoulder, which was his soul-bound artifact.
A little far away Aria was sitting in a chair with some popcorn, she could use Divine magic well now, so she could save me if Zephyr turned me into half dead.
Yeah, no one thought that I could win. My talent in daggers wasn’t as great as my talent in bows. The spar was about how well I could fight against close-range fighters.
Zephyr’s smirk widened. " I won’t use my scythe abilities, mana or even affinity while fighting you, only pure aura. So, don’t disappoint me."
I grinned "I may not win , but I will punch you once at least. It should feel good from how the queen loves punching you ."
"You son o—" his gaze landed on Aria for a moment before correcting himself. " Cough, I mean—we will see. "
"Wait, before you start let me put a barrier on you " Aria suddenly said while summoning her soul-bound rapier.
It had black hilt and a small, purple stone curved in the centre of the grip, its crystallized sharp blade glowed with ethereal purple light, like a solid shard of Divine light .
Veins of purple lightning were spinning around its blade softly without shaking.
She then pointed the rapier at us and a thin layer of purple light surrounded our bodies for a moment before disappearing, that was just an emergency barrier that would appear if our lives were in danger .
