These two had pushed him far more than he ever expected.
One of them was only at the peak of the third tier of the Awakening Realm. The other had barely mastered her strength in the realm at all. Yet their teamwork and combat sense were enough to force him to fight seriously.

Callack rose slowly.

He tightened his grip around his two short swords, eyes narrowing.
From everything he had seen so far, from the way the battle had unfolded, one thing was now clear.
Ricu was far stronger than he had let on.
