Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 516  Final Blow

It had been a few minutes since the start of the match between Erik and Edward. From what the crowd and I could see, things seemed were not going well for Edward. @@novelbin@@

Since the beginning of the fight, Edward had been toyed by Erik. Even equipped with a lot superior armor and weapon, Edward was yet to land a decent blow on Erik while the masked fencer had been harassing and poking him around.

Every time Erik took Edward down, he intentionally waited for him to stand before attacking him again. Whenever Edward unleashed a technique, Erik just blocked, parried, or evaded it effortlessly.

The audience watching this scene had mixed reactions to this. While the minority were cheering for Erik, many expressed their concerns for the prince. It might be that they were showing pity on him since the emperor was watching along them and they did not want to be punished or something.

For me and my sister, though, this match was kind of anticlimactic, and we thought that Erik's previous match was a lot better and more entertaining.

Naturally, the ones who were close to Edward were worried about his well-being in the arena. Two of those were Emperor Alfred and Edith, who were in the VIP seats as us. I was sure Edward's friends at the gladiator's entrance were sweating right now as they failed to find ways to stop Erik.
