It was the night before Vera departed on her journey.
At the second guest house of Suncrest,
where Aria was staying.
Valen saw Caleb, sitting in the front yard on a wooden chair.
A master of the deadly Cloud Piercing Sword Technique,
a man who had reached the peak of martial arts alone.
Although he was in the Kingdom of Harmony, he was not someone to be underestimated or taken lightly.
"Good to see you. It has been a while."
"Your name was Caleb, yes? Where is my niece?"
"The young lady is inside."
But Valen found himself disliking Calebl.
The killing intent in his martial arts was too thick.
After all, even his nickname was rooted in his violent deeds.
A Sword That Splits Skulls—how could he be anything but dangerous?
"I see."
No matter how loyal a vicious dog may be to its master…
Could the master's uncle not feel uneasy about it?
