206 CCVI. The Second Exhibition

"I trained for years with Magni, my dear Dag. I helped him perfect his Lightning Strike, so I know how to block it! Hahaha! Anyway, your power is remarkable, it was a well-placed attack! Magni would be proud of you!" he continued, picking up the Giantbane in front of his feet and throwing it at Dag, who deftly grabbed it, returning to combat position.

Taking advantage of the young Master's moment of distraction, this time it was Dargeon who attacked, trying to hit him by surprise with the axe, but it was deftly dodged.

Within seconds, after dodging the blow, Dag counterattacked once again with the hammer, which emitted sparks in contact with the bulwark.

"It's amazing, Master Dargeon! Your defense is truly impenetrable!" said Dag aloud, drawing the attention of the crowd around them.

Gridd and Reidar chuckled and Egill turned to them.

"What's so funny about it, guys? I'm curious!" he asked, in the usual calm and serene tone.
