Clank!
The crisp sound echoed in everyone’s ears.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
Some women, with their eyes covered, gradually looked toward James after realizing that there were no pained screams from either party.
James stood completely unfazed in his original spot and held the other half of Kayn’s blade between his fingers.
Meanwhile, Kayn was frozen in place as he held his broken sword. Disbelief and shock flooded his mind. Spectating on the side, Henry had the urge to laugh but stifled it.
How dare they provoke Sol’s Dragon King so recklessly?
Clank!
James dropped the broken half of the sword, and the clatter of the sword hitting the ground echoed throughout.
He looked at the distressed Kayn. Instead of mocking him, James clapped a few times and offered some words of praise for him.
“You’re pretty good. You’ve acquired impressive strength at such a young age. As expected from Durandal, your country is full of talented individuals,” The comment came out of his lips sincerely.
To Kayne, it sounded like sarcasm.
He recollected himself and wanted to utter a comeback at James but could not form a coherent
sentence.
His arrogance and conceit vanished as soon as James destroyed his longsword with only two fingers.
At that moment, the realization dawned on Kayn that he was up against an overwhelmingly powerful opponent.
However, he was not able to properly intuit his opponent’s actual strength.
Perhaps, this might be something he would never come to learn.
His strength might never be enough for James to fight him with no holds barred.
The Dragon King Army and Red Flame Army soldiers puffed out their chests proudly.
They were proud of their commander.
In a foreign country, their commander used only two fingers to shatter the ego of the person who insulted him and protected Sol’s dignity.
“Impressive!”
After a while, the Queen chuckled in amusement, and a smile formed on her wrinkled face.
She praised James enthusiastically, “As expected from our distinguished guest from Sol. Your strength is truly legendary!”
James returned her smile.
The Queen looked at James with the utmost admiration.
When she saw the way James moved during their duel, she immediately could tell that he was a martial
artist from Sol.
Before she succeeded the throne, she heard from seniors in the family that Sol was one of the most
enigmatic nations in the world. Additionally, they told her that ancient martial artists from Sol were some of the strongest people on the planet.
They could look down on anyone else, but it was an unspoken rule never to belittle ancient martial artists. from Sol.
However, the Queen had never met an ancient martial artist nor witnessed their true strength.
She approached James and curtsied respectfully. “Dragon King of Sol, I’ve heard about the great strength. of ancient martial artists from Sol. Would you be so kind as to demonstrate to me the true strength of ant ancient martial artist?”
James raised his hands to refute her. “This isn’t anything special. I shouldn’t embarrass myself. I must say though, the knights of Durandal are definitely a force to be reckoned with. Do you think I’ll have the chance to spar with the strongest knight of Durandal?”
“That won’t be a problem at all!”
The Queen smiled and opened her arms wide. “Dragon King, you must stay longer this time. I’ve prepared a banquet in Peter’s Castle to welcome you to our country.”
With that said, the Queen made a welcoming gesture.
James broke the Golden Knight’s sword with just two fingers and this impressive feat alone, was worthy of the Queen’s respect.
He nodded lightly and said, “We, soldiers from Sol, are thankful for Your Majesty’s hospitality.”
“It’s my pleasure.” The Queen regarded them happily.
James turned to Henry and said, “Let’s go.”
Henry remained silent as he walked behind James.
Under the watchful eyes of the nobles, the Queen led James and Henry away.
After they left, Yelena finally snapped back to reality.
She walked toward Kayn, put a hand on his shoulder, and called for him, “Kayn.”
Kayn turned around and looked at James, who was leaving. His heart roiled with dissatisfaction and contempt as he truly believed James would not be able to best him in a fight. Moreover, it was a complete, and utter defeat.
In that single moment, the admiration and respect he had built up over the years were gone in an instant. He could see the mocking faces of some of the nobles nearby.
