I could see the fury and hesitation in their eyes. This is not good... I sighed deeply.
"Then let me make the first move," I said, my voice calm but filled with challenge. "The one who survives the longest will actually get to spend some time with me."
I wanted to see if this would trigger their final push, and I hoped I was wrong. But just as the words left my mouth, the two of them suddenly caught fire, rushing at me with newfound intensity.
Seong-hoon was as swift as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was already behind me. Fast! I was surprised. In his last battle, he hadn't seemed to try so much. Was he holding back?
At the same time, from the front, Eun-woo crashed into me with surprising force. There didn't seem to be a path of escape, but I wasn't worried. I summoned my gauntlets, careful not to add the claw blades. I didn't want to accidentally slash them into pieces. They still had a long way to go before they could match my level.
