A woman with short hair was looking at Arthur with shining eyes. She said loudly.
" Get up and fight me."
The man apologized. He felt the situation was getting out of his hand.
" Lady Fiora, I accidentally pushed him to the stage. He isn't interested in the challenge."
Fiora looked at the man and said lightly.
" Whether intentional or not, once he sets his foot on this stage, he won't leave until one of us admits defeat."
Arthur got up and dusted himself. He said without any expression.
" Then I admit defeat. Can I go now?"
Fiora pulled out her sword. She pointed at him.
" I know you are a swordsman. You can't fool my eyes, and I feel you are a brilliant one."
Arthur groaned and looked at Diana. Diana gestured for him to come, but Fiora didn't move at all. She was excited to see such a worthy opponent. It had been a long time since she had an opponent like Arthur, although it was a marriage duel.
Arthur shook his head resolutely.
" Absolutely not. I am looking for my friend, not a fight."
A man with armor came out from the crowd. He scratched his head and said calmly.
" Fiora, he said he didn't want a fight. Just let him go."
Fiora shook her head with a stubborn look. She lunged at Arthur and slashed his weak point. Arthur sighed and unsheathed his sword because he felt Fiora's prowess. Arthur admitted she was the strongest swordswoman that he met. Even Diana's sword technique wasn't polished as hers.
Clang*
One slender and one gorgeous sword collided against each other. Arthur elegantly stepped to his right side and slashed down. Fiora didn't block him with her sword. After that, she flashed to Arthur and aimed at his right side. Arthur smiled.
" Not bad. You are the first person who equally used sword techniques against me. I have never seen such a genius person in the martial arts."
Fiora didn't say anything as she stabbed her swords. However, Arthur used his sword hilt to change Fiora's trajectory. She blinked her eyes with surprise because she had never seen a person who uses his sword like Arthur.
Arthur turned his sword and swung down to her. Fiora smiled brightly as she was having fun. She dodged like she was dancing. Arthur also followed her rhythm. Two of them hit each other with precise and deadly movements. Each of them was either dodged or blocked.
Garen looked at them with surprise. He said with an exclamation.
" Wow, I never thought someone would persist under her sword barrage. Even I have a hard time dealing against her."
Diana walked next to him. She sighed.
" Trust me. If he wants, he can master other weapons. I have never seen a person who was talented like him."
Garen turned around and looked at her. He looked at her mask with suspicion.
" And you are?"
Diana pointed at Arthur and said lightly.
" I am his partner. We are looking for his teammates. They were separated by some unknown magic."
Garen shook his head and dismissed his idea.
" Magic is the troublesome existence. Well, I can help you as long as you can write a formal request."
Diana nodded. She replied.
" We guessed one of his teammates might be around here. He has a bright gem-like thing on his forehead."
Garen recalled something. He said with a groan.
" Then I know where he is. He is in the prison. We thought he was a magic user and confined him for that."
Diana asked.
" Can you release him? He isn't from Demacia and he can't use magic. He had the innate talent to control something."
Garen folded his arms and fell into deep thought.
" Yes, you can. However, he must verify himself through a magic aptitude test. We can't release him if he has any mana in his body."
Diana sighed with relief. She really didn't want to destroy the prison.
On the other hand, the duel was nearing the end. The audience boiled with excitement and cheer.
Arthur looked at Fiora who was running out of breath from using such burdensome techniques. No normal human can't pull out something like that even they are at their body limit.
