Chapter 1073: - Why?

Dragon Monarch System

With the greatsword, Harrington appeared behind Renji so fast that it looked like he had teleported.

Renji couldn’t even react in time, but the mysterious man did.

A shadow tentacle blocked the strike that was meant to cut Renji’s head.

"Who are you?" Harrington did not stop to ask. Rather, he focused on this mysterious man instead of Renji. In his eyes, Renji was basically dead.

At that time, Renji turned out. He found it odd that his reaction time had suddenly dropped so much. He felt like he was reacting more slowly than usual.

’Is it fatigue?’ He wondered while preparing to attack Harrington, but to his utter shock, Harrington just ignored him, like he wasn’t even a part of this battle and was completely focused on his partner.

This infuriated Renji.

"You might have a heart attack if you knew."

"Well, then I must see your face." Both ignored Renji completely. Harrington and the mysterious man fought against each other.

In a few seconds, they exchanged 20 moves. To Renji, it looked like both of them were equals.

’This looks like an equal fight now, but with an injured shoulder, Harrington will make mistakes.’ This thought put his mind at ease. Instead, he took this moment to prepare something that he had brought to deal with Harrington.

But his partner did not share Renji’s thoughts. Instead, he felt like, slowly, he was losing this close combat.

’Close combat isn’t my area of expertise. But with Renji being injured, I have no choice but to hold on until he recovers.’ He mistakenly thought that Renji had not recovered yet.

Each time they exchanged a move, he felt his wrist and the rest of his arms hurt from Harrington’s overwhelming strength.

Suddenly, Harrington twisted his body, which caught him off guard. This entire time, Harrington was fighting with his other hand. And avoided using his injured shoulder hand which gave him the perception that this was his weakness.

When Harrington tried to attack his injured shoulder, Harrington revealed his fangs. This was a bait.

Harrington was waiting for this moment.

When he tried to hit Harrington, he countered with lightning speed. A black dagger coated in poison appeared in his palm. With the greatsword, he blocked the attack and then threw the dagger right at his face.

Although he still tilted his face, he wasn’t able to avoid the dagger in such close range. The dagger left a big scar on his right cheek that ran to his ear while also tearing the hood that hid his face.

"Why?" Harrington only had one word in his mind.
