Gal-Enshu opened the fight.
With a mental command, his ruby-crowned spear emitted a surge of blood-red fire toward his opponent, scorching the ground and attempting to burn him on the spot.
This was a Holy Artifact of Erinnu Maatu, the Crimson Crest—Anqullu.
Although its offensive abilities weren't great, it would rank similarly to a Grade 2 Relic in the Seven Nations.
The scarred young man, whom he recognized as the infamous battle-starved Gessius Ramio, leaped above the flames in a mighty jump, strengthened by a spell.
He twirled his lance as he aimed for Gal-Enshu during his fall, intending to pierce his throat with a single thrust.
Gal-Enshu raised his artifact at that moment, allowing the blazing swirl to soar and intercept him while in the air.
