The fight between Anders and the scarred man was going evenly as both were extremely good at both attacking and defending.

  Both of them had high experience in battles like these, so neither of them is making a mistake to give an advantage.

  SLASH!

  Swayed!!

  The scarred man swayed from the strike of Anders.

  STRIKE!

  Sword Clash!!

  When the scarred man swings his sword at Anders, he blocks it with his own sword.

  SWING!!

  BLOCK!

  “He is stronger than I expected. How can I defeat him?” Anders is thinking about the solutions.

  “The commander, one of your friends, is killed, do you know that?” The scarred man revealed, knowing his weakness.

  Anders was devastated. Hearing the news, he couldn’t believe it, but he also knew that if Tiberon were alive, then he wouldn’t be fighting with this guy.

  “Tiberon was killed? What did you say?” Anders muttered and couldn’t even stand properly.

  “That Ken’s men killed him, I saw it from a distance,” the scarred man said, giving info.

  Anders didn’t know what to do; tears began to come, and his body began to shiver.

  He felt weak all of a sudden.

  “Why? Why? Why?” he began hitting the ground, crying.

  “I can kill you now, but I have other things to do. Shouldn’t you be taking revenge? Ken’s men are lying on the ground, go there,” the scarred man told him.

  The scarred man began walking to the next level.

  Anders stood up, picked up his sword, and took a long breath.

  Void Breaker!!!

  The scarred man didn’t expect it, but he had received it only on his right shoulder.

  “I won’t let you go up,” Anders muttered, wiping his tears.

  “Fine, I will help you reach your friend,” the scarred man muttered, smirking.

  IMPULSE DESCENT!!

  Anders managed to escape that move with less damage, but now he is almost exhausted.

  His fight against Veris took more time and energy, and now, he is fighting a commander who is still fresh.

  The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  “He managed to take fewer blows from it. I might be underestimating him,” the scarred man thought.

  CRIMSON RAMPAGE!!

  The scarred man tried to block it with his sword, but the strike ended up throwing his sword away and hit him.

  “Ahh!! That hurts,” the scarred man muttered after that blow.

  “Did you know how that guy killed your friend? He made him cry, and—” the scarred man decided to capitalise on his weakness.

  “Stop it!! You are scared to fight, and with these tricks, you plan on defeating me,” Anders said, speaking his thoughts.

  “Coward! Try and win me in a fight,” Anders said, angry.

  Sinew Lurch!!

  Anders’ words triggered the scarred man’s anger, and with that rage, he unleashed his powerful move on him.

  Anders couldn’t escape and was thrown against the walls of the prison.

  Anders received the hit on his right shoulder. The bones present around that area suffered a massive blow.

  “You little—” the scarred man went near him and tried to attack him further.

  “Hey, wimp!!” a voice came from behind.

  The scarred man turned back as those words triggered him even further.

  It was Ken and the others standing.

  “Fight us first, wimp!” Ken muttered.

  “Ken!! You don’t know who I am?” the scarred man asked, in rage.

  “I don’t know who you are, I don’t need to know who you are,” Ken replied.

  “Ken, I will take care of him, go and save your friends,” the man near the injured one told Ken.

  The scarred man, out of anger, ran forward to hit Ken.

  BLOCK!!

  “To get to him, get through me,” that man told him after blocking.

  “You two, carry out the instructions that I gave you,” Ken muttered.

  “I have no choice for now,” the injured man said.

  All 3 began running towards the entrance of the prison.

  “You, stop there,” a voice came from the right side of Ken.

  Ken turned right and saw who it was.

  It was Anders lying on the ground.

  “Thanks for saving me,” he muttered.

  Ken walked near him and then sat there resting on the wall.

  “What are you doing? We have to go, Ken,” Medrick shouted at him.

  “You two go ahead, I will come,” Ken replied.

  “We saw your fight with that guy, I heard that too, your friend being killed,” Ken spoke, seeing the ceiling.

  Anders listened to him from the ground, even though he couldn’t move properly.

  “I am sorry for what happened there. I am sure Andrew and Galen had no other choice. I am their friend, Ken,” he revealed.

  Anders didn’t expect Ken to be like this.

  “I am weak. Why are you apologising to me?” Anders asked, with his shoulder hurting a lot.

  “Weak? No, even after knowing that news, you fought. I could never have done that,” Ken told him.

  “I don’t know how you feel right now, but I know it would hurt hard. I am sorry for causing you this,” Ken apologised again.

  “Why is he apologising to me? I am his enemy, right?” Anders thought.

  “I came here to save my friend. I saved him, now I am going to leave,” Ken told him.

  “Why is he telling me all this?” Anders was more confused.

  “If you want, you can join us, or else, I hope to see you somewhere,” Ken muttered.

  “I won’t join you,” Anders replied.

  “The knight will come soon, I will tell him about your condition, so hang in there,” Ken muttered.

  “See you,” he waved and stood up from the ground.

  “Thank you!” Anders thanked him in a low voice.

  “No need to be thanking me,” Ken said.

  “I thought we were already friends,” he added, laughing.

  Anders had a little smile on his face, even though his body was clearly not fine.

  At the entrance of the prison,

  Kael saw Medrick and ran towards him to attack.

  “You are alive! I didn’t expect it,” Medrick muttered after seeing Kael.

  Attempted Punch!!

  BLOCK!

  Medrick blocked the right fist of Kael.

  “Who is he?” the injured guy asked Medrick.

  “He once fought against us; he is from the Theron attack group,” Medrick told the injured guy.

  “I haven’t fought someone in years. Leave him to me,” the injured guy muttered.

  “Fine,” Medrick replied.

  “Are you guys playing with me?” Kael said, angry.

  “Fight me, kid,” the injured man told him.

  “Kid?” Kael’s anger level increased.

  He took a sword lying on the ground and tried to attack the injured man.

  Dugged!!

  “I don’t even need a sword to hit you, kid,” the injured man muttered.

  He gathered all his forces to his right hand. All the energy has been concentrated in his hand.

  PUNCH!!

  He jumps in the air towards Kael and punches him right in the face. Kael’s blood flow stopped for a second due to that blow.

  Medrick was in awe as he never thought that this injured man could be this strong.

  “That feels nice, after all these years,” the injured man said, happy.
