In a fight between two very powerful people, a small mistake can be detrimental . Suzanna already had her sword drawn, but Volte did not even draw his weapon . However, he was very fast . He easily ducked Suzanna's attack and grabbed his sword .
Suzanna gripped her sword and lunged at Volte, who drew his own sword, and the two clashed with a loud crash, sending bright sparks flying . Suzanna stumbled backwards and steadied herself . Volte was sent flying backwards and crashed through a nearby wall, finally landing in the courtyard . The mercenaries outside quickly surrounded it .
Suddenly, Volte's sword lit up brightly, then turned into dozens of arrows . The arrows made of combat power flew outwards toward the mercenaries . The mercenaries did not know who they were fighting, and it was already too late by the time they realized . Dozens of mercenaries were struck by Volte's combat power and fell to the ground .
Suzanna's eyes widened in shock . Swordsmen's combat powers were more or less the same, but Volte's control of combat power was unheard of . Even Ernest was not this good .
"Out of the way!" Suzanna called, jumping down into the courtyard .

Volte turned to her, sneering . The two lunged toward each other, bright white combat power and golden combat power clashing . A moment later, Volte fell to the ground, stumbling . Suzanna, however, did not attack again . Instead, she kept herself floating in midair, staring at Volte's hands . It may not seem like it, but she had almost fallen for Volte's trap .
Douglas was creeping toward the fight . Just as he was about to attack, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and swung a large axe at his head . Douglas was forced to jumped back and duck the attack . He raised his sword, blocking another blow from the axe . He was fast, but he was still slower than his opponent .
He was able to block the axe with his sword, but the floor under him could not handle this much force . Before Douglas could do anything else, he found himself falling down through a hole in the floor . The figure with the axe chased after him . By the time Douglas reached the next floor, the figure with the axe was already upon him .
Douglas bellowed angrily, as he raised his sword to block another attack . Swordsmen all had similar combat powers, but there were small differences . People like Suzanna and Ernest focused on strength, while Douglas focused on speed . He had almost never been outmatched in speed .
By now, Douglas already realized who he was up against . The second time his sword made contact with the axe, he changed the angle of his sword, so he wouldn't fall through the floor again . He pushed off of Anfey's axe and landed near the wall . "What are you doing here?" he asked . "Aren't you in Shinwa Province?"
Anfey pursed his lips and did not say anything . He jumped toward Douglas, swinging the axe at the man's neck . Douglas waved his hand, and a large, black net appeared in the air . The net was made of a dark, flexible metal and had large spikes all over it . As the net fell toward Anfey, Douglas began moving toward him as well .
Instead of using teleportation, Anfey suddenly leaned back and fell onto the ground . He slid toward Douglas, swinging his axe at his leg . Douglas jumped off the ground and moved toward the ceiling, summoning his combat power . Douglas didn't want to fight with Anfey . He had no reason to fight with him . He wanted to get back into the other room, because that was where his real target was . He needed to get to Alice and use her as a leverage . He knew that Shinbela must have already arrived with her men . He needed to get to Alice to get himself and his men out alive .
Douglas crashed through the wooden ceiling and returned to the room above . The men he brought were already lying on the ground, dead . A few mercenaries were also lying on the ground, dead as well . Brufit, the only survivor, was sitting on the ground and panting . All the walls in the room were covered in black . Thuds could be heard from other side of the wall . Clearly, Brufit had managed to seal off the room after getting rid of the mercenaries .
Douglas dashed toward Alice, who was standing quietly in the room . Anfey jumped into the room from below . Douglas raised his sword to Alice's neck and said, "Don't do anything, or it will end badly for both of us . "
Anfey looked at Douglas calmly . Douglas frowned, feeling uneasy . He had expected Anfey to react to what he was doing, so he could tell what Anfey was thinking . However, Anfey was only looking at him, not showing any emotions .
Just then, the entire building shook with the sound of an explosion . Then Douglas heard Volte's voice, "Mauso, Burzuryano, goddammit…"
Douglas' breath hitched . Brufit has sealed the room off, and he could not see what was going on outside, but he knew what would happen to Volte . Volte may be powerful, but not powerful enough to take on Mauso, Burzuryano, and Suzanna at the same time .
Anfey gripped his axe and started walking towards Douglas . "Stay where you are!" Douglas called loudly . "I may not be powerful enough for you, but if you do anything, I will kill her!" Then he grabbed Alice and pushed his sword closer to her neck .
"Whatever you say," Anfey said with a shrug, but did not stop moving .
"Whatever?" Douglas repeated, his eyes wide . "Good, then . Fine . Do what you will . "
"If you say so," Anfey said . He suddenly lunged forward, swinging his axe at Alice . Anfey was very fast, and did not leave much time for Douglas to think . His axe went through Alice and struck Douglas in the chest . Normally, Douglas would be able to get away, but he was too close to Alice . He also didn't think Anfey would actually do anything to harm Alice . He had gathered a lot of information and knew how important she was to him .
A ball of dark energy struck Douglas in the back, causing his combat power to disappear . Douglas bellowed in pain, as he fell to the ground, his sword also falling .
"It will be easier if you just give up, my lord," Brufit said quietly .
Douglas turned toward him with wide eyes . "Why… you…"
"I have a teacher as well, my lord," Brufit said . "That is all I can tell you . "
The spy, Lajusha, stood and walked toward Anfey . As she walked, her appearance and clothes started to change .
"It's just a small mirror spell, my lord," Brufit said, noticing Douglas' eyes on her .
Anfey sighed . "You shouldn't have done this," he told Douglas, as he brought the axe down on the man .
