Confrontation

The quick clunk of a sword dropping on the ground echoed like an iron bell throughout Edatine Castle city gate.

Everyone was utterly stupefied as they stared at Bloody Mary's body.

'W-What is this? Is he killing himself? But why? Is it because he doesn't want to put that young warrior in a difficult spot? I-It's impossible! They are enemies! Why would he be so considerate of his enemy? Impossible! IMPOSSIBLE!'

Messy thoughts gushed into everyone's mind like the rising tide. Whether it was shock, fear, or disbelief, their gazes were glued to the body on the ground, including the young warrior's captain.

As a matter of fact, the captain was utterly astonished by Bloody Mary's action but he responded very quickly.

Chang!

The sword was drawn and a layer of radiance, belonging to the God of War, covered it. It was swung out like a powerful gale. 

Within a breath's time, Bloody Mary's body got shredded into pieces.
