299,

His right hand tightly grasped the tree branch and pointed forward. This was no ordinary way of running, but the dash of a true swordsman.

Sonja couldn't believe her eyes when Cyclone actually picked up a weapon.

As she watched the young man charging towards her, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Why... why would this inexperienced young man be sent into battle?

Initially, Sonja thought that just assuming a fighting stance would be enough to scare away the lustful flirt who only knew sweet words.

But the reality was completely different.

Cyclone did not hesitate at all. He used the tree branch as a sword and charged towards her.

Was the person in front of her really the same young man she knew?

Was it really the young man who only knew how to cling to people's thighs?

Sonja couldn't understand, but she had her reasons to stop Cyclone from moving forward.

As a knight of Allen, as the sword of King Allen, Sonja slightly tilted the sword in her right hand to the left.

Cyclone charged straight ahead, his speed was fast, but he had vulnerabilities all over his body.

This strike was very simple, with no variations, the kind of straight thrust beginners would make.

Straight ahead, even the tree branch was pointing forward. It was such an obvious movement that Sonja only needed to lift her right hand and swing the sword upwards.

Just a tree branch, there was no resistance at all, and it was easily cut in half.

Why not just be an honest hero for Allen?

Enjoy a life of abundance in Allen, with two wives and oneself.

Why?

Why risk everything for someone impure?

Why gamble everything for someone heading towards darkness and ruin?

By cutting Cyclone's tree branch and making him understand that he couldn't defeat her with a sword, the answer was clear...

Impossible!

Sonja saw it, at the moment the tree branch was cut, Cyclone smiled.

He never practiced swordsmanship diligently and was always indulging in love affairs with his two wives.

Now he actually wanted to beat the captain of the Wind Knights with a sword?

Without a doubt, it was impossible.

Speed, strength, swordsmanship, magic, none of these were Cyclone's strengths.

Cyclone knew this, so from the very beginning, he had no intention of fighting Sonja head-on.

He started with provocative words, making the opponent think he wanted to fight to the death.

But that was wrong. Cyclone did not need to defeat Sonja, he only needed to pass her and run into the black sphere.

Those with magical powers couldn't touch this black sphere, meaning it would become Cyclone's ideal shield to evade Sonja's pursuit.

Gripping the tree branch in a straight manner, displaying the most straightforward attack posture, locking onto Sonja for counterattacks.

What would Sonja, with her sword lowered, do when she saw Cyclone charging like this?

She wouldn't suddenly leap up and strike, nor would she show off by jumping left and right to unleash a horizontal slash.

All these flashy moves to show off would never appear in a real showdown.

Faced with this straight thrust, the downward sword would definitely respond with the fastest and smoothest upward swing.

This makes it easy to block straight stabs and prepares for the next vertical slash.

Cyclone already knew this just now.

Sonja wouldn't kill Cyclone, so she used the flat side of the sword to slap herself away.

In that case, everything becomes easier.

When catching Sonja swinging the sword upwards, there will definitely be a second of gap before she slashes downward again.

While holding the sword up in her right hand, take this opportunity to move in...

While Cyclone is thinking, she keeps staring at Sonja's long sword, intending to capture the moment when the sword is swung upwards.

However, even though she was looking, the sword still disappeared.

Cyclone's left foot is still stepping forward, and the sword was in her sight for a second, but it disappeared the next second.

Soon, Sonja's sword swinging speed far exceeded Cyclone's expectations.

The tree branch held tightly in her right hand was only lightly impacted, and the branch became lighter.

Ha...

Cyclone couldn't help but laugh, thinking that she could see through the opponent's movements for a moment, but it was really overestimating herself.

Her left foot has touched the ground, the tree branch has snapped, and with Sonja's sword swinging speed, she definitely won't break through.

Beyond the speed of thinking, Cyclone extends her left hand.
