Realizing this, Faith pushed Levi away with her sword and shouted, "You two, leave the others and follow them!"
The two men nodded, dashing after them, but were stopped by an iron wall that suddenly surrounded the entire 100-meter tunnel.
"They're not going anywhere. Even if you're bounty hunters, don't think your group will be here to save you," Levi warned.
"Is that so?" Faith chuckled, closing the distance. Mist enveloped her sword and body. "Then let's dance."
Ting ting ting ting ting ting
Sword clashed against iron hands, breaking the ground and leaving craters wherever they met.
Levi jumped back, forming giant iron fists that lunged at Faith, who smirked as she moved her sword.
A massive misty moon arc collided with the iron fists.
BOOM
The shockwave reverberated as their attacks struggled for dominance. Neither could overpower the other. Faith shifted into a stance. "One Sword Style: Serpent Slash."
A snake-like energy surged forward, aiding the two slashes she had already sent. The iron fists shattered, and the attack continued toward Levi, who countered with "Tiger Fist."
BOOOOMMMM
A tremendous shockwave erupted, shaking the ground and forming a crater where their attacks clashed.
"You're good, but it seems…" Faith began with a smirk. Levi sensed something and quickly dodged.
He saw another Faith, who was in a stance, slicing through the iron wall before her.
She slashed in a precise pattern, causing a section of the iron wall to collapse.
Two shadows darted through the opening, heading in the direction Stella had gone. "I'm better," Faith's arrogant voice echoed as Levi cursed under his breath.
'Damn it, how did I not sense that clone?' Levi wondered.
The scent of blood hit his nose. He looked toward the opened iron wall and saw the bodies of their comrades, lifeless.
His heart ached.
Levi had known that if there was a spy in their group, these people would die. After spending so much time with them, he had grown attached.
Sighing, his cold eyes locked onto Faith. "Let's finish this," he declared
