The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 575

Aiden bared his teeth in a feral grin as he faced Ghislain, their swords clashing violently.

“Duke Fenris, I’ll grant you this much—you’ve truly pushed me to my limits.”

The 2nd Legion had been annihilated with almost laughable ease. Aiden’s strategy had failed to drain his opponent’s strength sufficiently. While the priests had managed to sap some of Ghislain’s energy, Aiden himself had expended considerable strength in his battle with Vanessa.

Now, both combatants stood on nearly equal footing, their energy similarly depleted.

But Aiden was not just anyone. He was the most noble, beautiful, and powerful man in existence. Such a trial was something he could overcome through sheer force of will.

Taking a step forward, his blade angled threateningly, he said, “Duke Fenris, the world is divided into two types of men.”

“Today, I will become a legend.”

Though his forces had been obliterated and his enemies remained intact, he still had a chance. Ghislain’s decision to challenge him to a duel was the opportunity of a lifetime.

Had the Fenris forces swarmed him, he would have been forced into a desperate battle of attrition, ultimately succumbing to exhaustion and death.

But if he could kill Duke Fenris here... and escape through the enemy ranks alive...

He could carve his name into legend.

This situation was merely a test from the heavens, a stage set for him to ascend to greatness. The universe itself seemed to conspire to make him a hero of unparalleled renown.
