Chapter 130 – Duel
Kaden stood in front of Daela as he extended his hand, Reditha flashing into it silently, obediently.
His expression was focused, serious.
He hadn't forgotten the nature of his sister's Origin. It worked on echo.
Meaning, every strike she made would be echoed again.
Knowing that, Kaden didn't hesitate as he activated his perception to the max, making him able to feel even the faintest rustle of a distant tree leaf, the softest whisper of pressure change, the shifting tension in the air before movement.
"Start!"
The duel began.
Kaden dashed toward Daela, his speed so overwhelming it left afterimages behind, flickers of motion that blurred space as he arrived in an instant in front of her, Reditha raised in a simple but precise downward slash.
Daela's eyes didn't waver. She simply sidestepped, avoiding the blow with clinical grace before spinning impossibly fast and aiming a kick toward Kaden's chest.
The kick didn't land.
