Chapter 63: The Shadow Duel
Kai stood his ground, his daggers spinning in his hands as his opponent, the twin-sword wielder, circled him like a predator.
The air between them crackled with tension, both warriors exuding an aura of lethal skill.
The Intermediate Knight's eyes gleamed with quiet confidence, his grip on his blades unwavering. "You move well," he admitted, his voice steady.
"But let's see how well you hold up when I stop playing around."
Kai smirked, rolling his shoulders. "That's what I was waiting for."

Kai barely twisted out of the way as the first sword passed inches from his neck.
He retaliated with a quick slash aimed at his opponent's ribs, but the man parried effortlessly, his second sword cutting toward Kai's shoulder.
Kai bent backward, the blade narrowly missing him.
