From Antonio’s point of view, he didn’t kno he lost the duel However, there were for and their gazes were filled with unprecedented astonishment
In fact, it was still considered a normal duel up until the point where Antonio escaped froressive attack Then, when Antonio backed off and Rhode’s blade ray struck forward, the duel had completely deviated froical direction
The crowd had seen it clearly when Rhode drew a distance apart froht transfore that struck at Antonio Antonio brandished his sword and resisted the attack, at the sa speedily Then, the croitnessed the blade ie shattered like a rock that had s behind Antonio sneakily
Many fa skills Lower-level shadow cloning skills relied on speed to create afteri one’s true position Higher-level shadow cloning skills could gather power and clones also possessed equal dae output as the main body However, no matter which clone it was, their defenses were basically zero and fragile, like a beautiful bubble that would disappear forever once broken Rhode had displayed this side of him in the Midsummer Festival and no one was surprised that he was capable of shadow cloning
However, everything that had happened later made their jaws dropped
Antonio heard the exclaed Rhode’s attack He had to turn his body around, so he didn’t notice what the crowd had witnessed Within two seconds as he turned, the fragh attracted by ainto a brand neord ie instantly and pierced toward Antonio!
That scene left the crowd stupefied
Even Lydia, who rarely stopped s, widened her eyes in astonishment and witnessed how the defenseless Antonio was struck by the sword iround into a bloody mess This duel could be said to have embarrassed the Williams Family and from noard, they had become enemies with Rhode

However, this wasn’t a problem for Rhode to be concerned about because even he didn’t know the reasons behind it He n this swordsical reasoning, he didn’t care about it at all He pressed down the creases on his clothes and left without shooting another glance at Antonio, as covered ounds all over his body Two Battle Angels stepped forward and treated to Antonio’s bleeding before lifting hiain filled the banquet hall and the crowd came to their senses and discussed the duel However, this time, they didn’t need to prepare any topic of idle conversations Rhode’s mysterious swordsh to keep their conversation going for a long ti”
Lydia chuckled and shi+fted her gaze to Lize as standing ah Lize was here for the banquet too, she didn’t dress up as gorgeously as others She wore a plain, white dress and appeared seely like an inconspicuous servant

“Welcome back, Rhode”
When Rhode returned to his position, he saw Marlene’s lovely s on delicious food Anne waved the roasted la and cheered loudly

If Antonio were to hear Anne’s remarks on him, perhaps he would voht”
Rhode nodded and his gaze wandered He realized that Lize was nowhere to be seen She didn’t love bustling crowds and she actually wasn’t willing to join this banquet She had also asked if she could return to the Fortress in the Land of Atonement on her own However, Rhode rejected her request because he felt that she had done well in the internal battle and deserved so her potential as a qualified adjutant under Gillian’s and his training Although she wasn’t an expert in laying her eyes on general situations like Marlene, her observation for details had indeed saved hi her along as a reward even though she wasn’t too willing
