“The gap in their skills is too big Well, it’s not surprising since a 5-star is facing a 7-star Hed to fend off a few attacks…”
The Yvliano Clan’s swordsular Those who have experienced that devious style before always tried to avoid facing another Yvliano swordsman in their life
“Hm, you all seem to be unaware, but swordshter in situations like this”
If the Yvliano Clan’s swords snake, then the Runcandels’ was a charging rhinoceros Even if its horn were to be broken, it would never stop its headbutt

Nevertheless, Jin’s heart began beating like crazy for the first tih his body
‘It’s clear that Vishukel is going easy onhih for now
Not all 8-stars were on the same level, and that also went for 5-stars
If any other 5-star knight aht now, they wouldn’t be able to put up a good fight like Jin was doing—no matter how much Vishukel went easy on the his opponent while having sealed two of his abilities:to get blurrier and dimmer… But for some reason, I still feel like I can read and predict Vishukel’s next move’
Jin had lost toothis duel to an end As his vision got darker, Jin finally realized the goal of his training with Luna and began to understand the principle behind the Mind’s Eye exercise

Vishukel had undoubtedly destroyed Jin’s sword However, the instant the blade shattered, Vishukel felt the sensation of so his chin
That would’ve been the conclusion of the duel had Vishukel’s final attack landed 01 seconds slower The 8-star’s instincts were telling him as such
If Jin had reacted 01 seconds faster, Vishukel would’ve been carried off the stage fatally injured The sword standing vertically before Jin’s face would’ve stabbed him from below the chin
Moreover, since Jin was already half-unconscious during their final exchange, the boy wouldn’t have been able to stop his attack in ti able to shorten that gap of 01 seconds is what makes one a trueboy’
In fact, he could becoreat threat to Kinzelo in the future when they start properly executing their grand masterplan
‘It’s truly a relief that he was born so late He’s too young to defeat his siblings and become the next patriarch’
