Valdel who was in a shocked state was woken up by Ren's question. Valdel couldn't help but feel even more irritated as he made a motion to pierce Ren's abdomen. Ren easily diverted the attack and even had a chance counter but did not. This action only aggravated Valdel even more.
Each of Valdel's sword slashes were easily deflected by Ren. After a few more swings, it was painfully obvious that Valdel was nowhere near Ren's level of skill. Valdel hated to admit it but in the back of his head, he was also consenting that Ren was the superior swordsman. The moment he thought of that Valdel shook his head and intensified his attacks.
'It would seem that Valdel's skills have degraded, I should probably retrain him. So for now I better finish this already.'
