it out on him.

He ruined everything. Someone has to pay for this. Frustrated and seething, he was eager to takot in my way.

“You’re finished!” he growled, launching a Parallel Palmaimed straight at the red–masked figure’s back.

Sensing the danger, the red–clad assassin reacted instar ly, using Phantom Step to dart out of harm’s way.

Their eyes met. Recognition flashed across both faces.

“Oh, it’s you.” The red–masked fighter tore off his disguise, glaring.

The white–clad pursuer did the same, scoffing. “You again. Teddy Tanner’s loyal lapdog! Always in my way. What the hell are you even doing here?”

Now that he was on his own and not overthinking things, Aora crossed his arms. “Getting in your way? I came to kill Ethan. You’re the one messing everything up.”

Gwain’s jaw tightened.

They had been working toward the same goal–yet instead of succeeding, they had sabotaged each other. If they had joined forces, Ethan would already be dead.

Of course, he wasn’t about to admit that. Instead, he snorted, lifting his chin in defiance. “I do whatever I want. No one gets to question me.”

“I’ve had enough of your arrogance!” Aora snapped. Fueled purely by frustration, he lunged.

This time, their fight wasn’t strategic–it was personal. Blows were thrown with full intent to harm, neither holding back. Their battle raged on, causing destruction all around them.

Yet, no clear winner emerged. Their skills were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.

A sharp voice cut through the clash. “What the hell are you two doing? Wasting time here while the real fight is happening on Divine Mountain?”

Both fighters halted, panting.

Gautier stood nearby, arms crossed.

“The battle between Yorick and the Zen Master is about to begin,” he stated pointedly.

Gwain exhaled sharply. There was no reason to waste energy fighting Aora–winning wouldn’t gain him anything.

Aora hesitated, then finally stepped back.
