"To me, it looks like you're just standing on top of him." Grimm continued with a smile, "Also, you didn't see Ryan in the kick just now, did you?"

Arnold lost his smile and narrowed his eyes.

"That means the likelihood of a 'reaction' is high, right?"

Arnold looked away and replied, "That's right."

"My skill is 'Super Reflection', which can deal with movements that ordinary people cannot react to. It is just a useless skill for close combat." He pointed the sword at Ryan as he spoke, "But, is it very strong?"

Although Ryan felt annoyed, he smiled: "Indeed, but if this trick is exposed, it will be nothing special."

Ryan glanced at Grim: "Old man, thank you for your advice, but let him take care of himself. It is difficult to avoid being involved."

Grim nodded and asked, "Then you plan to go up?"

Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Whatever." Grimm turned his back and walked away, and Ryan looked at Arnold.

"Super-reflex." He unconsciously excluded the option of having skills, and he deeply felt that he was still very immature.

However, it seems that luck is still good.

Growth is about incorporating the advice and lessons of those around you into yourself and using them as motivation to move forward.

Every step is valuable.

The corners of Ryan's mouth rose: "Now, move forward at full speed!"

Seeing Ryan like this, Arnold felt suspicious: "What's so funny?"

"I already have a way to beat you, it's slightly funny."

Arnold also laughed and said, "Stop pretending to be strong." Suddenly, there was a crackling sound around Ryan, and electricity began to flow.

Silently, Ryan disappeared, and Arnold immediately swung his sword to the left. The swords collided and Arnold slammed his left foot onto the floor.

Feeling the gravity of his left foot, Arnold smiled: "Are you finally serious?"

Arnold said while using his sword to deflect attacks from all directions: "Gravity skill. It's difficult to use when indoors, but it's very easy to control."

Arnold spun around with his left foot: "Wind Scattering Wind!" Wind suddenly rose around Arnold, and the wind blades flew in all directions.

Ryan couldn't see it, but the gravity of his left foot disappeared. Arnold pulled out his left foot, squinted his eyes and waited. One of the flying wind blades was bounced back.

"Wind sudden!" Arnold thrust his sword in that direction instantly. The wind whipped up and penetrated the space, and only Jean and Ryan's swords were bounced away and fluttering.

Arnold then made a forward kick with his right foot. At the same time, Arnold's right foot met Ryan's chin.

However, Ryan smiled.

Ryan was knocked away, and he hesitated for only a moment. Arnold was suddenly pulled back: "What's going on!"

Gravity operation, the originally downward gravity suddenly increases and points backward. At the same time, Ryan drew his sword impaled on the ceiling and chased Arnold.

Arnold attempted a spinning landing, but was too slow and crashed through the wall into the next room. The momentum has not subsided and it is still falling sideways.

Ahead was the window, and from above, Ryan chased after him.

Hearing Ryan's whisper, Arnold was surprised: "Sing!"

"Wind sudden!"

Arnold turned sideways and released a swirling wind towards Ryan, but it was easily dodged.

The window shattered with a bang and Arnold was thrown into the air. At the same time, the gravity originally directed toward the side returned to the normal downward direction.

Ryan was flying high in the sky, thunderclouds could be seen in the distance, and Arnold showed a satisfied smile.

"It can be reflected in the air!!" Ryan seemed very happy and said to Arnold below.

"Okay! Your answer! I'll set you off!!"

Arnold focused the wind on his sword as he fell. A very powerful blow that increases the magic power to the maximum without any reservation.

"Thunder!"

The tangled thunder and lightning flew past Ryan and flew towards Arnold.

"Sudden strong wind!!"

Arnold stabbed the sword upwards, and the huge wind rushed towards the thunder and lightning with the power of rotation. At the same time as the violent collision, the roar echoed around.

Arnold's sword trembled.

"Hehehe!"

Arnold increased his strength with joy.

At that moment, a tiny light flashed at the edge of his field of vision, almost unnoticeable.

Arnold was startled, then laughed: "Ah!"

The wind died down and lightning struck Arnold. Arnold hit the ground hard, making a continuous thunder that gradually disappeared.

Arnold lay on the scorched ground. There was a huge wound extending from his left shoulder to his right waist, and a large amount of blood flowed from there.

"It's unbelievable that a thunderbolt can distract me," Arnold said weakly, with Ryan standing next to him.

"You are calling it 'cutting skill'. I thought it would be a long-lasting skill."

A smile appeared on Arnold's lips: "...You are right, my skill consumes a very high amount of magic power when used. It is simply an inefficient and useless skill."

Arnold coughed and blood spilled from his mouth. Ryan's big magic is the key. He cuts off the supply of magic power to the skill, which is why Arnold didn't notice that Ryan was quietly approaching his magic blind spot.

But he had no regrets: "The reason for my failure, well..." Arnold suddenly recalled why he pursued power in the first place.

"At the moment of that blow, I felt extremely excited, as if the heroes were facing off for the last time."

"Hmph, if you were a real hero, you should be able to end it all with that blow." Ryan said bitterly.

A man driven by longing, and a boy who always only thinks about how to defeat the enemy in front of him.

Not the persistence to win, but the path chosen to defeat and survive, this gap creates subtle flaws.

"That's right..." Arnold smiled, but was interrupted by a cough, spitting out blood. His life was on the verge of ending.

"Even so, let me say one last thing." Arnold looked up at Ryan, with a faint light in his eyes.

"Great. 'Thunder Emperor'." After saying this, the light dissipated. Then, Arnold passed away quietly.

Ryan looked at him sadly and looked up: "'Thunder Emperor', it's too early to claim oneself with this name. I..."

In annoyance, Ryan gritted his teeth and held the sword tightly. Then, his eyes turned to the broken window, and then he jumped out of sight and disappeared.
