David and Herbellstein continued their clash, explosions of light being released every time their swords clashed.
Moving as quickly as they could, both seemed to be almost equally matched, although Herbellstein possessed greater speed and strength, David made up for it with his courage, dexterity, and mana reserves.
"I really wanted you to join me… I wanted you to abandon this kingdom, to have a new beginning with me, son, with your mother."
His father swung his massive sword down, resembling a guillotine.
CLASH!
But David managed to intercept it once more with his own sword, rushing forward to confront his stepfather.
"As if you would ever do such a thing! There's no future for monsters like those of that cult! Sacrificing countless innocent lives! You're a monster if you think they did something good!"
He rapidly pointed the blade towards his stepfather's throat, as Herbellstein panicked, quickly kicking him away.
