Chapter 144 - The Seven Blades of the Sword God
After Rygar announced his challenge, almost all the practitioners gathered in the Ephemeral Hall to watch the fight.
Timothy and Rygar were on opposite sides of the hall. A Sword Emperor and a Sword King.
Generally, it was the custom of the Sword God's Style that, to rise in rank, the two strongest Sword Saints dueled in front of the Sword God.
The winner would be named Sword King. The same happened among the Kings, who dueled, and the victor was considered the Emperor.
But the truth is that the one who made the rules was Gall Farion. As the current Sword God, he had the authority to name anyone at any moment.
And, as there were no other Sword Kings at the moment, Rygar would challenge someone one rank above, just as Ghislaine had done when he was out in the Red Dragon Range.
Around the two combatants were all the disciples, including Eris, Nina, Jino, and Nigav.
Reida, Aisha, and Isolte were not with the Sanctuary's disciples, but they also watched from a corner.
And the Sword God was in his usual place. Gall Farion declared:
"This is a special situation. Rygar, you are seeking the title of Sword Emperor, a test of your mastery of the techniques of this school. So, only use techniques exclusively from that style."
Rygar nodded. Timothy prepared himself.
