John and Yealper were locked in fierce combat.
Boom... Boom...
The sounds of explosions echoed, and terrifying energy rippled through the air. Both of them were evenly matched, and for a time, neither could gain the upper hand.
"Young man, I truly underestimated you," Yealper said, slashing down with his sword, forcing John to retreat. His expression grew serious.
"It's a shame. If only you were from Underground City, things would have been different!" Yealper sighed regretfully, his body radiating the powerful The power of laws, making his attacks even more ferocious.
John found himself struggling to defend, forced to step back repeatedly.
"Young man, I'll give you a chance. Join Underground City, and I'll plead with Lord Skybroke to spare your life," Yealper said, effortlessly blocking a barrage of sword energy, a spark of admiration in his eyes.
