Chapter 586 Should I concede defeat right away...?
"Ah... no... it can't be possible. Is that small planet still holding its ground?"
A disbelieving laugh escaped from Elizabeth's lips as she gasped at her own words. Her planet, the very place of her birth, was still standing? Even after many years had slipped by beyond her count.
"I thought it would've been destroyed just like the other nearby planets by the shadow generals after we left to fight in the war but it's still alive. Now I understand why James was suddenly feeling giddy a few years ago when a piece of his soul returned to him. That bastard didn't tell me... I'm totally going to pick a fight with him!"
As she fetched a communication crystal from her mind space to contact the man in question and inform him about seeing some familiar faces from the blue planet, Old Hal coughed at Ned's words. He wasn't the only one surprised after hearing what the man had to say. The other individuals in robes also gazed at Ned with speechless expressions as he furrowed his brows.
"What? You all know that instant teleportation is James' signature skill. Given his nature, he wouldn't readily share it with just any stranger unless the human is somehow related to him."
Vexana let out a sigh.
"Let's set that topic aside for now and concentrate on the fighters. We will find out once we meets the man since only James can explain how his skill ended up in someone else's possession."
"A friendly spar, alright, but I will admit defeat immediately if you use your strength and agility against me."
Kyle raised an eyebrow as he caught a glimpse of a subtle challenge in the golden-haired man's expression. The silver spear in his hand hummed softly as he released it, and it began floating behind him, emanating a stunning shade of grey that exuded sophistication and charm.
Carcel's eyes trailed toward the spear. It was truly beautiful, and he wondered just how Kyle got his hands on it. Unaware that the silver-haired man had stolen the spear from an old dragon, and it was a lot more powerful than the spear in his hand.
The duo hovered in mid-air, waiting for the stage below to clear so they could engage in combat. After a few minutes, the two fighters on the stage were finally nearing the end of their battle as one of them was severely injured. However, the injured fighter's persistence and refusal to admit defeat irked Kyle, even though the latter had nothing left to secure a victory.
Kyle was very tempted to kick one of the fighters off the stage secretly due to the growing annoyance. He even tried to approach the shield enclosing the stage to act on his thoughts but clicked his tongue when he was halted by the illusionary figure, who gave him a deadly stare.
Carcel stifled a laugh when he saw Kyle quietly and swiftly return to his place under the illusionary figure's stern gaze.
After another minute, the battle on the stage below the duo finally ended with the injured individual securing the victory by surprising his opponent with a powerful skill. Kyle promptly landed on the stage as the shield enclosing it lowered.
"Finally, it's our turn..."
The illusionary figure gazed at the silver-haired man and then at Carcel before instructing the duo to prepare for the battle. When they both held their spears tightly, the illusionary figure left the stage and shouted for them to commence the match.
