Alright then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon pulled his sword from his inventory and threw it down towards Rickard. It grazed the cheek of Rickard, leaving a shallow cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword fell into a snow pile a few feet away, lost beneath the white blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon shouted, and the sword twitched before hurling straight back into his hand, and he quickly returned it to his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further ado, he continued climbing and soon pulled himself up onto the snowy ledge that was leading up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff... Haah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing cold air, Fang Raon followed the snowy ledge, and soon, it took him to a \"road\" that was barely more than a narrow path winding up the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately followed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaaargh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard reached the snowy ledge, followed Fang Raon to the narrow path, and stomped after him up the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging his feet through the snow, Fang Raon reached the mountain peak and looked down at the land below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, he could see the faraway lights of the Snowberry Village and the beautiful aurora borealis dancing across the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... So beautiful...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a camera, snapped a picture, and then heard grunting behind him, belonging to Rickard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard pulled out his sword, his teeth clattering in coldness, and his coat had turned from brown to white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was your plan, huh, asshole? Waste my time or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes, exactly that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wryly smiled, and then he pulled out his sword and then turned to face the red-faced Rickard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was red because of a mixture of things. The cold and anger were the main factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now I’ll waste more of your time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, breezed past them, and they looked at each other like strangers meeting for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect scenery for a heroic battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care anymore if Della manages to escape.

I’ll keep you captive for those twelve hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And we won’t care about that little ban. As long as we kill all of Rose Records, we can wait for a month until we can access that place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard said with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I guess you have a plan in mind already. It sounds quite waterproof... Except that I am the only one that can spoil your party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you aren’t that powerful, Raon. Don’t get ahead of yourself. This is nothing but formality. You’re basically already my captive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard said, and then stomping down the snow under his boot, he slowly approached him with sword in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Duelist Instinct Activated!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Basic Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon made the first move, and his blade—cutting through the falling snowflakes—came down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard wielded his sword with two hands, and met Fang Raon’s blade with a powerful upward swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steel screeched against steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sword is a Tier IV weapon.

Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like his entire skeleton was shaking from the impact, and Rickard kept swinging his sword against the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick sword dug into the shield. The steel frame buckled under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another swing, and the shield’s edge began to splinter and crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon stumbled back, and Rickard kept pressing forward with a giant grin and hammered his sword down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strike, strike, strike, another strike, and yet another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield—which was before round and entire— now dented and broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a large crack down the middle, barely holding together.
