Chapter 191 - Ambushing Omri (1/2)
Violent collisions rang out as the two Saint Commanders fought. Among them was a tall and ferocious-looking Avran who was wildly swinging his gigantic two-handed sword. This Avran commander was Saint Commander Omri.
A thick amount of hatred and humiliation was written on his face as he continued his relentless approach.
The fact that he was played a fool by the old bastard Faramis made his blood boil with extreme rage.
It must be said that both of them already had past disputes even before they became commanders. The Avrans also knew the reason for the irreconcilable hatred between the two Saint Commanders.
Many years back then, the two of them were still young Avran soldiers. They were both talented in their own fields.
Faramis was talented in the arts of stratagem while Omri was a peak fighter among the young Avran soldiers.
Because they had different fields of expertise, there was no conflict between the two, but there was no friendship either.
The fate of the two only collided at the sudden appearance of one person. She was someone with incomparable grace and matchless beauty in Avran standards. Both men took a liking to her at first sight. In fact, it was not just them. Countless young Avran men also succ_u_mbed to this beauty, but among her suitors, only two stood out. It was Faramis and Omri.
The two men did their all to gain the beauty's affection and it was when they started to oppose each other. In the end, she chose to stay with the refined and intelligent Faramis.
Omri felt indignant and confused about her choice. He was much stronger than Faramis, but he wasn't chosen in the end. Starting then, a seed of envy and rage sprouted in his heart.
Although many years have passed, the two of them could not forget the events of yesteryear.

”Faramis! Stop running around like a scared cat and face this old man!” Saint Commander Omri shouted as he stared at Faramis hatefully.
Saint Commander Faramis smiled in response and said in a mocking manner. ”Old fool Omri, have you gone weak after staying idle in Shura that you can't even catch this senior's shadow?”
His voice was crisp and full of ridicule as he stared back at Saint Commander Omri, but he was inwardly breaking in a cold sweat. The other party was still much stronger than him like before. Although his speed was faster than Saint Commander Omri, the difference in their power was not small. Any wrong move will place him in a disadvantageous position and it might even cause him his life.
”Faramis, I'll kill you! Argghh!” Saint Commander Omri violently swung his gigantic two-handed sword. His speed increased by several times and his strength also doubled instantly. He was beginning to take the fight seriously!
Saint Commander Faramis hurriedly raised his sword and lightly moved to the side. He could not evade Saint Commander Omri's attack, so he tilted his sword and took a side step to deflect the latter's two-handed sword.
”Shiiinng!”
The two swords issued a loud shinging sound as the surface of the blades scr_a_p_ed against each other.
