While Ronin and Galier were talking, the contest in the square had already begun.
James drew his Knight's Sword. Crimson Fighting Qi erupted, and the immense energy it generated launched him toward his opponent like a cannonball. His speed was astounding.
Ronin raised an eyebrow. From just this opening move, he could tell the man's fighting style was incredibly wild. His strength was perhaps even greater than Rogner's.
Sure enough, the ensuing battle confirmed his suspicions.
James's Swordsmanship was fierce, and his Power and speed seemed to surpass Rogner's.
After every clash of their longswords, Rogner's stance would falter slightly. As a relentless series of attacks followed, his disadvantage grew.
Soon, after a powerful exchange, James kicked Rogner squarely in the breastplate, sending him flying backward to land heavily on the ground.
"My apologies, but you have lost," James said, looking down at him.
