Duke Inuarashi's sword was long and slender.
He held it as he stared straight at Randall, who hovered in the air.
A fierce aura began to swirl around him.
In an instant, he went from a border collie to a wild wolf with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Old dog, are you... real?"
Cat Viper struggled up from the ground, enduring the pain.
He stared at Duke Inuarashi with wariness and confusion.
By his reasoning, if Duke Inuarashi was an illusion created by Randall, he should have been attacking him.
But now, all of Duke Inuarashi's hostility was directed at Randall.
"Of course I'm real! What the hell are you babbling about, old cat?"
Duke Inuarashi snapped impatiently.

But to Duke Inuarashi's shock, a translucent barrier resembling black glass appeared in front of Randall.
His sword struck the barrier, scattering sparks.
Behind the barrier, Randall didn't even
