Chapter 156 - Birth of a New Sword King and Reida’s Decision
In those four days that passed, the Sword Sanctuary fell into an uproar.
All the Sword Saints were training with redoubled dedication; some of them, realizing their chances were low, focused on helping others in their training, playing the roles of partners and instructors.
The atmosphere was one of tension and excitement, as if the entire Sword Sanctuary were breathing in time with the training.
Eris Greyrat, in particular, stood out.
In the first three days, she did not even sleep.
She wanted to ensure that she would be the chosen one.
Despite already being considered "the strongest" among the Sword Saints, she wanted to make this unquestionable.
Since Isolte had been named Water King, Eris had harbored the burning desire to also attain the title. Above all, to show Rygar that she had evolved.
Years of brutal battles and relentless training had molded her into a fierce warrior, capable of taking down dragons and giant beasts alone. An intense presence even in the Sword Sanctuary, where swordsmen from all over the world gathered to seek growth.
Eris trained incessantly with Rygar, Ghislaine, and even with Badigadi, pushing her body and mind to their limits.
However, Rygar, recognizing the risk, forcibly made her rest on the last day.
