The two of them kept slamming into each other, exchanging punch after punch with relentless force. Sparks flew with every impact, echoing through the arena.
Kyrion suddenly stepped back, drawing his sword with a swift motion. He charged toward Ronny, slashing with precision, yet not a single cut landed. Ronny was infamous for his Steely Muzzle, an impenetrable defense hardened like steel.
Kyrion increased his speed, swinging with all his strength, but the blade still could not pierce Ronny's guard. In response, Ronny launched a punch. The force collided with Kyrion's sword, bending it slightly and sending him stumbling backward.
"Wow… human strength like that," Kyrion muttered, recovering quickly. "Is that his highest rank? Hmm… I think I'm the strongest rank there can ever be," he added with a confident smile.
Lightning suddenly crackled along the underside of his legs, wrapping his sword in a brilliant, electric glow. The audience gasped, mesmerized.
