Chapter 405: Sinner

Marina's blade was very cold, especially when it was held against his throat.

Thales had felt himself improve after that battle, in which he found himself stuck between the Star Killer and the Raven of Death. The three of them brought out all their cards at the end of the bloody battle. His reflexes in real battles had become better, his movements were quicker, and his Power of Eradication flowed more smoothly.

Thales looked at Ricky's indifferent expression with an unwillingness to admit defeat. He stared at Ricky's relaxed attitude, and he was forced to move his neck when Ricky shifted the blade.

The entire encounter lasted less than two seconds, right from the moment the prince suddenly charged forth to the moment Ricky successfully suppressed him. Their clash of fists lasted as short as a greeting, and the sudden turn of events ended as soon as it began.
