Rasmus was sparring with Aris in the open field, away from everyone. They had been sparring for the past five days while waiting for the remaining forces to come. They fought without hesitation, and every slash they did was intended to kill, and Rasmus always got badly injured after each session. The amount of blood and lives they took with the black swords made them stronger and fiercer.
"Do you feel the difference now?" Aris smirked as she clashed her sword with Rasmus's.
"Yeah..." Rasmus said with gritted teeth as he tried to push Aris's sword away. "But it drains my stamina a lot!" He grunted and pushed Aris's sword to the side, and swung his sword instantly at her head.
Aris used the pommel of the sword to block Rasmus's sword, and then pushed him away. She readied her stance and threw a slash wave at him with immense Aura.
