(Sanfe City, Dupravel's POV)
*BOOM*
A section of the abandoned school building crumbled into dust as Su Pei's [Heaven-Piercing Arc] slashed through the entire structure and even a neighbouring house along with it.
Dupravel didn't bother clashing with it head-on, as he blinked out of sight mid-movement, hopping backwards from one roof-top to another, deliberately maintaining a set distance while Su Pei gave chase.
"Running like a rat?" Su Pei tried to bait.
"How disappointing. I thought Monarchs fought their battles with pride….. even if they were affiliated with the Evil Cult."
Dupravel snorted as he landed atop a broken roof-top and spun, flicking a pair of daggers downward at his feet.
Behind him, the ground erupted the moment Su Pei touched it, as [Crimson Snaproot] vines burst from the concrete in an explosion of mana, wrapping around his ankles like iron chains before igniting with condensed flame.
*FWOOM*
