A Man Like None Other

Jared waited for a long time, but no sword marionette appeared. He promptly decided to pull the sword out of the rock.

Blinding light streaked before him just as he neared the sword. Another elderly man appeared beside the rock.

Then, the elderly man reached out and pulled the sword out of the rock.

Menacing waves of sword energy burst forth from the sword and rushed toward Jared.

That's too fast!

Jared could barely react in time. He only had time to blink before the explosive sword energy sent him flying back.

Fresh, bloody wounds appeared on his body.

His Dragonslayer Sword greedily absorbed the massive amount of sword energy all this time. However, Jared noticed that the intensity of the sword energy did not decrease at all.

“Demon's Strike!”

The elderly man suddenly brought his sword down on Jared amid a flurry of flying rocks and swirling leaves. It was a scene straight out of doomsday.
