'This monster seems to want to play.' Ryuji's eyes narrowed, his grasp tightening keeping a close gaze on the two knives that the sprig prince flipped and tossed like a juggling clown.
"He's coming!" The moment Ryuji's voice echoed in the strange forest, he rushed forward, matching the prince lunging at him. The next instant, two blades extended towards his chest. With the steel pole, Ryuji pushed out, deflecting both blades, creating a burst of sparks, before kicking the sprig's lower body.
"Guh... you are mean!" Pae'Lom whined, tossing the blades in a rapid spin while watching Ryuji with a glare.
