Within the barrier magic, Valen and Guren faced each other, poised in battle-ready stances, awaiting the signal for their duel to commence.
"Hahaha! I must admit, you're very brave indeed for unhesitatingly accepting my challenge, Guren," Valen praised, folding his muscular arms as he looked at Guren across from him.
"Huh! Despite hearing about your arrogance beforehand, Spear Hero Valen, I never imagined it to be this excessive. Do you consider yourself invincible?" Guren retorted, his tone cold and scornful.
Previously, he had harbored pent-up anger from Valen's earlier taunts, and this was the ideal moment to release it.
Listening to Guren's sarcasm, Valen remained unfazed; instead, the smirk on his lips seemed to grow even wider.
