"A woman?" Siderius stopped his mug in mid-air. His mind flashed images of the possible scenarios. "A witch?"
Bas nodded. "A very beautiful and powerful witch. The Black Lady of Itertia."
"And you sure this isn't..."
"Not a spell." Bas shook his head. "House Argentius confirmed it. Furthermore, Damien is a seasoned Spirit Swordsman. His spirit is much stronger and sharper than a normal person. You see how I was able to resist Nora's spell right?
But I am barely a Spirit Swordsman. I haven't even solidified my Iron Will yet. But he already reached the third rank. He is the warrior with the most potential to reach the fourth rank, the rank that everyone in Everia dreams of."
Siderius' gaze placed upon Bas. His smile was subtle with a slight upturn of the lips. "Are you going to tell me what the ranks of a Spirit Swordsman are?"
"Argh… It's not a secret anyway and everyone in Everia knows it. So I will tell you.
