Baron Rivelle's figure instantly blurred forward, and within a heartbeat, he was already before the Goblin. His katana was already in motion, streaking toward the creature's head with a powerful, slicing motion. Unlike his Knight Commander, who had begun his clash with the Minotaur through a contest of raw strength, Baron Rivelle did no such thing. He went all out from his very first attack, his intent sharp, direct, and merciless.
The Goblin immediately reacted to the Baron's assault. Its green hands blurred toward its waist, unsheathing its katana with startling speed as it raised the blade for a perfectly timed block. A thunderous metallic impact echoed through the air as the two blades met, sending showers of golden-orange sparks exploding outward, painting the battlefield in brief flickers of light.
