Ignoring the angry face of the red-haired young man before him, Vahn asked calmly, "Do I know you?"
The red-haired young man felt another blow.
"Y-you, how can you forget... You're the one who made me a laughing stock at the Holy Ascension Stairway in White Lotus Sanctuary. Because of you, I was rejected to become an Outer Court disciple despite crossing 50 Steps...
Only Because of You!"
He shouted the last part and charged forward with the momentum of a leopard toward Vahn.
Clang!
Vahn met the nobleman's furious sword attack head-on with his Hellbringer Saber. The sound of the Saint-grade black steel meeting the nobleman's Sky-level weapon was sharp and resounding. The impact alone sent a tremor up the young man's arm, momentarily shocking the rage out of him.
