Chapter 26: The Light of the Duel

The atmosphere inside the tent froze momentarily with Natalie's words, and Kane's eyes locked on her, flashing mixed emotions, but more anger and resentment.

He turned slowly to Renaud, his voice low and subdued: "Since Natalie is a mercenary, that means she has the right to choose a stronger master." Let's have a fight, Reno, and let her decide."

Natalie's heart sank, but she still looked calm and stood where she was. Renaud raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth drew a sneer: "Kane, are you provoking me?" I've never seen you so keen on robbing people."

Kane responded coldly: "This is not a rob, but a fair competition." If you are a mercenary, you should follow the strongest, not be bound by suspicion and threats.

Renault's smile gradually narrowed, his eyes became cold: "Well, then I'll show you who is really strong."

Renault: Holy Light Swordsman (S Level)

Talent: Brilliant Fissure

Can summon a long sword condensed by the light element, with high burst and range attack ability.

Each hit in battle strengthens the blade and releases a huge light chop after three overlays.

Kane: Protector (Level S)

Talent: Sanctuary of the Shield

Summon a shield of light that can withstand most physical and spell attacks.

After each successful attack can save energy, use the shield to carry out high-intensity impact counterattack.

The two men stepped out of the tent, and the whole camp was instantly captivated by their struggle. Soldiers and mercenaries gathered around the training ground, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. This is not only a battle of strength between the two princes, but also a battle of power and faith.

Reynaud stood to the side of the ring, pulling out his long sword, which glistened in the sun. His eyes were cold and his voice low. "Kane, I will show you that you are no match for me."

Kane stood on the other side, a shield formed by the condensation of light in his hand, and his face was calm: "No matter how much you talk, Renault, the victory can only be decided by the fight."

Raynor attacked first, his long sword blazing and hurtling towards Kane. His blade cut into Kane's chest with the whistling wind.

Kane, however, took his time and raised the shield to block the sword. The blade collided with the shield, making a harsh metallic noise and a fiery splash.

Renaud stepped back slightly, with a slight sneer in his eyes. "Well, it seems you haven't regressed yet."

Kane did not respond, but calmly launched a counterattack. A brilliant light gathered from his shield and hurled it at Renault. Reynaud leaped back nimbly, and his shield struck the ground, sending up a cloud of rubble and dust.

Raynor's silhouette swept through the air like a strong wind, and his glorious sword cut a blazing arc through the air, one after another, toward Kane's defenses. Kain raises his shield, and with each attack the Shield blocks, the surface glints stronger.

As Raynor's third attack fell, Kane let out a low roar, unleashing his energy and unleashing a blazing wave of light from his shield that knocked Raynor back several steps.

The crowd of soldiers and mercenaries exclaimed, and every clash of the battle sent tremors through the field.

"You have a nice shield." Renaud steathing himself, a chill flickering in his eyes. "But do you think that will stop me?"

He lifted his sword, and a burning light began to gather around it. The power of the radiance rift is activated, and a beam of light is released from the blade, driving straight towards Kane.

Kane lifted the shield and took the blow, but there was a slight crack in its surface.

Without flinching, Kane thrust the shield into the ground, gathered the power of the light in his hands, and swung it at Raynor. This time, instead of just defending, he used his accumulated strength to launch an all-out counterattack.

Raynor's longsword and Kane's shield light clashed in the air, the fiery light almost impossible to look at. Neither man backed down, and each attack was precise and deadly.

Natalie stood outside the crowd, looking at the center of the battlefield with mixed eyes. Her fingers were slightly clenched and her heart was full of conflicting emotions.

The duel between Renault and Kane is not only a contest of strength, but also a collision of belief and obsession. Every encounter proves to everyone that they are one of the Empire's greatest warriors.
