[69] Recruiting characters in the story

-Third-Person Perspective-

A few moments earlier, Arkan was working in his castle when one of the townspeople came rushing in with a report—they had witnessed a battle between Rainer and an unknown man.

"Alright, where are they?"

"They seem to be outside the fortress, near the old ruins!"

"I see. Prepare my horse!" Arkan ordered the servant standing nearby.

The evening sky above the ancient ruins bathed the battlefield in golden-red light, as if bearing silent witness to the fierce battle unfolding below. Dust and shattered stone filled the air, carried by the forceful clashes of Force, marking this fight as something far beyond an ordinary duel—a test of strength and fate.

Amid the destruction, Rainer and the mysterious warrior fought like two war gods. Every swing of Rainer's spear carried his unwavering resolve, while every slash of his opponent's blade held lethal intent.
