As soon as William and Belle clashed, the Half-Elf found himself crashing towards the ground due to the formidable power behind the black-haired beauty's blow.
Correcting his posture mid-air, William's two feet landed on the ground, destroying it completely. A dust cloud emerged from the point of impact, sending rocks and debris flying in every direction.
William's subordinates, who saw this, gasped in shock because they didn't expect that the Half-Elf would lose in a battle of strength against the young lady whom the Pope had called the greatest Champion of Light.
"Aigo! I knew that Claiomh Solais hit hard, but I didn't expect it to be this hard!" Sharur commented as William used it to prop himself up off the ground. "It seems that we got our cheeks clapped instead, right partner?"
"... Just whose side are you on?" William replied before waving his hand to disperse the dust cloud around him.
