The Rogue let out a frustrated roar then poured all his strength into a powerful overhead swing.
His blade sliced through the air with deadly force, but Vritra calmly raised his sword, blocking it with ease.
… CLANG!
For a moment, their swords locked.
The Rogue pushed with everything he had, his muscles straining as he tried to overpower Vritra.
But the young lord didn't even budge. Instead, he leaned in closer and whispered in a cold, venomous tone.
"Is this really the best the so-called 'Red Rogue' can do?"
He chuckled maliciously.
"Disappointing…"
The Rogue's eyes burned with anger, but before he could react, Vritra swiftly twisted his wrist and broke through the Red Rogue's defense.
In one smooth motion, he instantly sent the man's sword flying out of his grip.
『What──?!』
