    Are you for real? All his stats were maybe like 1000 below mine and he''s only level 80. Matter of fact, his |Willpower| was higher than mine. The |Hero| class is such BS. Gods need to nerf it.

    "Are you ready?" [Wilharrow]

    "Are you?" [Solace]

    Wilharrow drew out his plain looking divine sword.

    "|Divine Weapon Resonance: Vlight|." [Wilharrow]

    The plain longsword transformed. The blade turned white and made itself wavy like a flamberge. The handguard shifted into the image of a sun while the handle made itself indented for better grip. The pommel changed into a sharp edge, not something I would like to get struck by. Above all, I could feel great mana emanating from it.

    "...Wow. Just... wow." [Solace]

    "It''s my sword''s first form. Are you prepared to face it?" [Wilharrow]

    "Ah, so there''s going to be more." [Solace]

    "Correct." [Wilharrow]

    Yeah, so I put on Vermillion Eclipse. I wasn''t feeling like testing my flesh against a divine weapon.

    "The red gauntlets. I hope they hold up." [Wilharrow]

    "Me too." [Solace]

    That instant, we struck each other.

    "Wha-?!" [Raon]

    I guess Raon wasn''t able to keep up with his reaction. Wilharrow''s sword grinded against my gauntlets as we stared at each other.

    "You''ve gotten a lot stronger." [Solace]

    "I could say the same to you." [Wilharrow]

    Releasing one hand from his sword, Wilharrow grabbed my mouth.

    "|Holy Ray|!" [Wilharrow]

    So I tasted god. Just kidding, it tasted spicy.

    "Alert: You have acquired the skill |Holy Resistance|." [Spirit Guide]

    After taking that hit, I kicked Wilharrow away.

    "Seriously?" [Solace]

    My mouth felt dry and there was steam coming out. Did this guy just evaporate my saliva?

    "I can''t believe you just used that on me." [Solace]

    "I knew you''d be fine." [Wilharrow]

    "What if you used it on Raon?" [Solace]

    We both glanced at our |Blade Master| buddy.

    "Wh... What?" [Raon]

    Wilharrow put some thought into it. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Yeah, I don''t know. Maybe...?" [Wilharrow]

    "Maybe what? Guys?" [Raon]

    I nodded along.

    "Not even maybe. Definitely." [Solace]

    "Definitely what?! Guys?!" [Raon]

    "Probability of you dying." [Solace]

    Raon shivered.

    "Why were you guys even thinking of that?!" [Raon]

    Wilharrow and I shrugged.

    "Dunno." [Solace]

    "Let''s get back to dueling." [Wilharrow]

    "Bet." [Solace]

    I immediately threw a |Wind Edge| at him and rushed in. Wilharrow slashed my spell, which I had already accounted for.

    "|Terra Javelin|." [Solace]

    I forced a spear out from under Wilharrow, causing him to step back to avoid it. He then cut my spear and threw the tip at me.

    "|Piercing Blow|." [Solace]

    I wasn''t sure if it would work, but I was enlightened. I punched the spearhead, causing the energy to travel across the air and hit Wilharrow.

    "Urgh!" [Wilharrow]

    Neither he nor I expected it. Thankfully it worked out in my favor. Wilharrow was knocked down and tumbled. By the time he started to get up, I was already on him.

    "Good game." [Solace]

    I slammed my foot on his sword to keep it down and placed my hand at his throat. It took a moment for Wilharrow to realize he lost.

    "...Dang." [Wilharrow]

    He let out a sigh.

    "I thought I would win this time around. It''s your win." [Wilharrow]

    Satisfied, I pulled away.

    "Need some healing?" [Solace]

    "I would appreciate that. Your |Piercing Blow| has my chest throbbing in pain." [Wilharrow]

    "My bad. I didn''t even think it would do anything." [Solace]

    "You underestimate yourself." [Wilharrow]

    I then healed him with |Small Cure|.

    "You have gained |Experience|. |Experience| limit reached. |Small Cure| has gained a level." [Spirit Guide]

    Wilharrow took a deep breath as my skill healed him.

    "It feels good..." [Wilharrow]

    "Don''t make it weird." [Solace]

    "How so?" [Wilharrow]

    "Just... Just shut up." [Solace]

    Putting that aside, we finished up our sparring and met up at the Adventurer''s guild.

    "I think we''ve been here long enough. It''s time we continue our journey." [Wilharrow]

    None of us rejected it.

    "Our next stops will be three villages, a city, and then the capital. However, there''s a faster route through monster territory. Which path do you guys want to take?" [Wilharrow]

    "I''m fine with whatever." [Solace]

    Personally, I kind of wanted to go for monster territory for the |Experience|.

    "Villages, please. I don''t want to sleep outside." [Raon]

    "I don''t care." [Leon]

    "I... would also prefer not to sleep outside." [Fina]

    Then it was settled.

    "Guess we''re going the long route. Tomorrow, we set off. Get all your things in order everyone." [Wilharrow]
