Chapter 417 The Ultimate Battle (Part One) (2/2)

Austin and Symon looked at each other in absolute silence.

The spectators whispered among themse

He looked up and stared at Austin in bewilderment. Symon was a young and mighty warrior, the favorite of his times. But now, Austin had all but trampled all over his confidence. He slunk into despair almost in an instant.

”Yes, yes. You are right. How can you be wrong?

You win and l lose.

I concede my defeat to you, Austin.

However, make no mistakes—I will be back. You are not better than me. You never will be. You lord it over me as if you are superior to me. Don't be so arrogant and condescending! I will be back! You'd better bear that in mind.

This is not the end of me. I will resign and return to my hometown, in remote mountains and virgin forests, and live there in seclusion. I will grind away at the art of the sword. I will imbibe in me the true meaning of a warrior one day. When that day comes, I will throw down the gauntlet. I hope you shall rise to my challenge.

I do not bear a grudge against you, Austin, though you do defeat me in front of everybody today.

I am grateful to you. Do you want to know why? Because you have become my new prey. I have set my sights on defeating you. I was sick of being invincible! You saved me from that boredom and gave me a second life.

I've said enough! Just remember, you have to wait for me. Wait for me to defeat you!”

Symon didn't stay sullen for too long. On the contrary, his sorrow and listlessness vanished soon, to be replaced with a wave of rekindled hope.
