Blood Debt
When Mike heard this, he was very unwilling.
His hand tightened around the sword.
The flames burning across the Sky Breaker Academy reflected in his grey eyes, but the fire inside him was far hotter.
When he thought of Shera's death, his heart ached.
That pain had never truly faded.
It had only been buried beneath years of cultivation and restraint.
Now, standing amid the ruins and bloodshed, that buried grief finally broke through.
"No… I can't let this matter rest. I want the Sky Breaker Academy to pay with their blood."
His voice was low at first.
Then it became firm.
There was no room for negotiation.
Even when facing Gareth, Mike did not give him any face.
Just like back then.
Just like the time he had stood alone before the mountain gate and dared the entire Sky Breaker Academy to come out.
He had never been someone who feared powerful opponents.
If anything, the stronger the opponent, the clearer his heart became.
Mike slowly raised his sword.
