Ragna took a deep breath. Unlike his opponent, who needed to do everything he could to win, there was no pressure on his back.
Still, if it was possible, he wished to win. After all, he was still a guardian of the Libation Fiesta.
If he couldn't win, he might not be able to repay Clovis' kindness.
With both parties raising their weapons, Utaha immediately started the countdown. "Now that both parties are ready, let's not wait any further. Let's count together."
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Go!"
The moment they heard the signal, Matthew leaped toward Ragna.
In the end, Ragna looked much smaller and lacked power compared to the big Matthew. Hence, the original plan was to overpower him.
Matthew struck Ragna's shield with all his strength.
Ragna took advantage of his petite figure to tilt his shield upward. This way, Matthew's blade would slide on his shield and gradually move up, away from him.
