Anger and Blood
These words from Tenebrol had managed to awaken the sleeping anger and resentment in Faxul for losing his parents.
It was something he had squashed down and put to the side ages ago, but now that the perpetrator was actually in front of him, he found himself being consumed by the rage.
This man was responsible for killing his family and making him flee to an unknown place with unknown people. Regardless of the old man's existence, these words had proven that that act had been something wholly done by the one in front of him.
As if in response to his thoughts, even the newly bonded Raven on his shoulders let out an angry squak, as if it wanted to take revenge for its partner.
DING
As the gong sounded, Faxul took off at a running start towards Tenebrol after drawing the standard sword that was given to all contenders.
Tenebrol had already worn the trinket that limited his power. Right now, he was again an Eminent Human Fighter.
