"Did you get the inheritance?" Arden asked.
Silence*
Erik said nothing, tightened his grip over the sword while his eyes were still on Arden. Just as the two were standing there in a stalemate. Erik felt the wind pass by him at high speed and before he could tell what it was.
Boom*
The area before him exploded. Arden, who was standing there before, was masked by the dust and debris, his situation unknown. Erik turned toward Valcroy, who was dusting his hands, looking at where Arden was with satisfaction.
He could even tell what Val was thinking with that grin over his face as he walked towards him, but he didn't have the time as he turned around and hurriedly brought his sword up, barely defending the sword that was slashed at him.
