112 Dream Ki Fusion

Nellon shut his eyes tightly in anticipation of his death, and thousands of regrets flooded his mind. 

He had underestimated Howard completely. Even in his wildest dreams, he never thought it would be possible Howard would reach the peak of the B rank and have minorly understood an A level concept like Ki Resonance. 

Not only that, but Fire King's Embrace had improved drastically. Howard had mastered the first level of the gauntlet, the second level of the grieves, and part of the third level. He was getting closer and closer in strength to one of the Four Guardians.

Opening up his eyes a moment later, Nellon saw Howard had stopped his attack a few inches from his face. In the last battle, Nellon had to be killed, but now Howard felt no threat from him. He smiled and gently slapped Nellon in the face.

"Ugh, maybe in the future I'll kill you?" Howard offered out his right hand. "Let me help you up. I want your help doing something."
