After dozens of exchanges, Wyper seized an opening. The Wind Dial beneath his feet erupted, putting a little distance between himself and Zoro. Then, somewhat indignantly, he demanded, "Were you going easy on me?"
Zoro's expression remained utterly calm. "You just went through a battle and got injured, so I was being fair. If you don't like it, I can go all out."
"Then go all out!" Wyper no longer blamed Zoro and answered in a low voice.
After that exchange, the two fell silent for several seconds. Then, Zoro moved first!
If Zoro before had been a beast that had bound its own claws, then now he truly resembled a tiger descending from the mountains!
The first change Wyper felt was Zoro's presence!
Though he had been completely at a disadvantage earlier, his presence had not actually been inferior to the man before him. But now, the savage aura of the beast within Zoro had overwhelmed his own!
"One Sword Style." For the first time in this battle, Zoro called out his technique.
Wyper cast aside his thoughts, tightened his grip on his great blade, and activated the Wind Dial beneath his feet, charging at Zoro.
Though his presence was slightly weaker, a Shandia warrior always charged forward!
The two figures rushed toward each other, both incredibly fast. The distance between them, already not very great, shrank to nothing in the blink of an eye.
"Shishi Sonson!" Zoro shouted.
A cold flash gleamed, and blood sprayed.
The two figures passed one another. Zoro was completely unharmed and had already sheathed his sword.
As for Wyper, the great blade in his hand, just like that priest's before, had snapped into two pieces, the cut smooth as silk.
Likewise, a wound had opened across Wyper's chest, deep enough to expose bone.
