Chapter 46: Zyrek (Part 1)
Clang! Clang! Clang! - - - -
In the training ground, Azrael and Ashara fought back and forth, both wielding greatswords nearly as tall as their bodies.
Azrael moved forward swiftly, holding a black-colored greatsword, and blocked Ashara’s incoming strike.
The collision between the two weapons generated a loud clash of metal, and due to the tremendous force behind each blow, shockwaves rippled through the surrounding air.
Unlike Azrael, who was using his Soul Armament, Ashara wielded a normal greatsword forged from fine iron.
However, her blade was enveloped in fiery red cosmic energy, and even with all his strength, Azrael couldn’t cut through that layer of energy to damage the normal sword.
Ashara’s long, orange hair was tied back in a ponytail, and like Azrael, she wore a fitted training suit.
She easily blocked all of Azrael’s attacks and struck back whenever she noticed a flaw in his movements, forcing him to recognize and correct his mistakes.
After nearly half an hour of sparring, Azrael suddenly stepped back from Ashara.
The black sword in his hand began to glow with a hazy blue light as the entire blade became enveloped in cosmic energy. Unlike two months ago, when he had struggled to control the energy properly, his progress was now evident.
Cosmic energy flowed smoothly from his body into the greatsword, and Azrael’s gaze sharpened.
He closed his eyes for a brief moment and held the sword in a horizontal slashing position.
