Kings Collide Beneath a Burning Sky
"Three against one… how shameless."
Without another word—
Harrier Taylor lifted his broadsword.
The blade cleaved through the air in a blazing arc, its edge humming as Mana roared through the steel. The swing was simple—no flourish, no wasted movement—just pure killing intent.
Clint Zain met it head-on.
Boom!
The collision shook the entire street of Ashford City.
Shockwaves burst outward like ripples from a shattered mirror. Tiles shattered. Wooden signboards exploded into splinters. The stone pavement beneath their feet cracked in a web of fractures that raced down the long market road.
Bystanders screamed and scattered. Doors slammed shut. Windows shattered inward from the pressure alone.
Both men were King Realm experts of the same generation.
Rivals for decades.
Neither had ever truly surpassed the other.
But today—
Harrier's fury burned like wildfire.
