Unexpected Battle

-----

Allan came here with the intention to negotiate, but he could have never guessed he would end up fighting Ifrit to the death.

Yet…

Through his entire life, hasn't he desired such fights anyways?

Even though back then, Allan would have never been able to ever fathom going against such overwhelming power. Yeah, back then when he was just a trainee, a young mercenary turned squire, who was also a young hero.

He knew the way of the sword and hunted monsters in the plains with his family of nomads and mercenaries. Yet the moment he was blessed, the moment he was given a new chance. He didn't hesitate to take it.

Living in the plains, training with his dad and his family wasn't bad. He loved that life but… Allan always knew he was destined for more. And now, as he fought a literal spirit god king, he smiled.

He knew he was destined for something better, he was just "that guy" out there.
