On the big street, Hasting’s shout created a ripple through the sky.Like a death god from the netherworld, his awe-inspiring eyes slowly swept over the surroundings. At this moment, each person within the crowd of Byzantine soldiers on the street couldn’t help but unexpectedly and subconsciously lower their head. No one even dared to look Hasting in the eyes!

Shaar who stood at the corner of the street clenched his hand on the hilt of his weapon and bent down his body. He hid behind a dirt wall and carefully observed Hasting.

He watched as he was surrounded by the pursuing troops and how the Byzantine soldiers were so shocked under his pressure that they couldn’t even gasp for breath. He saw how the ground was dried in blood and how flesh flew in the air while not a single Byzantine soldier dared to advance again!

Hasting grunted and slowly withdrew on his horse and then gradually moved down the big street. His long spear pointed at the opposite Byzantine soldiers while fresh blood dropped down, falling on the ground turning the ground into a mass of red…..

The atmosphere seemed to have completely frozen and only Hasting’s warhorse gasping for breath could be heard. The horse’s hooves advanced one step after another and watching Hasting withdrawing from the big street, Shaar’s heart started to get anxious. Hidden behind that dirt wall, he grasped his fire pitchfork and his eyes stubbornly stared at Hasting’s back.

These damn soldiers, they were obviously numerous, but it seemed as if Hasting’s imposing manner made them fear to raise their swords and shields. No one dared to rush forwards into their death, and they all seem to be petrified. They were just going to watch Hasting walking away like that?!

Arriving at the turn of the street corner, Hasting’s mouth revealed a mocking sneer full of disdain, before saying in a cold manner, “Byzantines are cowardly as a mouse!”

After giving off a loud shout, he turned his horse and prepared to depart!

Shaar couldn’t wait any longer and he aimed for the moment Hasting turned his horse around. With a leap, he jumped over the dirt wall and took two bricks on the wall, before maliciously hurling them towards Hasting.

(TL: The famous brick to the head technique!)

With two bangs, the bricks were crushed as Hasting swung his long spear twice. As the broken stones bounced around, Hasting’s eyes stared closely at Shaar who stood behind the dirt wall.

“Come if you dare!” Hasting issued a long laugh. With a forcefully kick on the stirrup, he dashed towards Shaar and that black flame instantly arrived in front of Shaar. Even when Shaar concentrated all his energy, he still couldn’t catch how Hasting used his movement to instantly shoot in front of him with his spear. In order to dodge, Shaar could only growl and use all his power to jump backwards……

Chi! Just when Shaar threw himself backwards, the spearhead fiercely scratched past his chest and the black flame easily ripped apart his 13th Army officer light armor. The burst of metal scraping could be heard that made people’s teeth ache and hurt as the spearhead scratched against the Dragonscale that Shaar put between his armor. Immediately flame sparks were released! Under the black flame, the armor melted but that Dragonscale stayed firm under the attack of the black flame. A noticeable deep scratch was left behind on the Dragonscale by the spearhead.

Hasting was also slightly surprised after seeing that his spear didn’t kill his opponent with one swing. When his spear scratched Shaar’s chest and he saw that he dropped down behind the dirt wall. Hess lightly shouted, “Good skill!”

With a light wave of his arms, the long spear easily thrust through the dirt wall! When Shaar fell on the ground he didn’t even have the time to stand up before the spearhead was already once again in front of him. This time he was unable to dodge and the spearhead smashed against the Dragonscale on his chest. Bang, the Dragonscale that had being struck immediately sunk in and Shaar felt as if his chest was being hammered. His vision immediately blackened and blood come up to his throat, but he forcefully swallowed it back.

Within his body he felt a slightly warm feeling instantaneously spreading at the front of the Dragonscale. That black flame on the Dragonscale made a burning noise, before it couldn’t endure any longer and instantaneously got covered by a green smoke……

Hasting felt that the spearhead was gently pushed back by a soft power and with a shout, he withdrew his long spear. Beyond the collapsed dirt wall he saw Shaar who was lying on his back.

This was Hasting’s first time seeing Shaar more clearly and he saw that this young man had black hair and eyes. He wore an officer standard armor of the Byzantine Empire and his eyes were intensely staring at him.

Hasting was slightly startled since this was actually his first time seeing Shaar.

That time, when they faced each other on the battlefield, although it was a short distance, Shaar had covered his face with a visor helmet and Hasting didn’t see his face clearly.
