The birds chirping drowned by the sound of steel clashing. The wind brings about the scent of sweats and blood.
Azief is in his hut, his eyes closed.
Then he heard a sound and his eyelids opened. He looks at the source of the sound and then he nodded like he was digesting something.
Then he smiles and close his eyes again.
That is what he did for a few hours. Once in a while that sound stopped and he would close his eyes for a long time.
When the sound sounded again, he would open his eyes and look at it again.
All these hours, there is someone beside him attending to his every orders and informing him in details of how the battle outside fared
That person in Han Xiao, one of the Three Devils of Han. The Crippled Devil was summoned by Azief when the battle outside the hut begins.
Challenging the Flowing Sword Arts Meet has begun
Outside the hut, the sound of sword clashing and striking each other could be heard.
