Inside the magnolia garden, things weren’t going well for Yorick. He quickly
found himself cornered.
For his second move, Gwain unleashed Ethereal Slash. His sword glowed with
a golden light, creating breathtaking arcs in the air.
Wyatt and Hank couldn’t help but admire Gwain. It was impressive that he
had reached a level beyond that of a grandmaster before even turning thirty
-his talent was remarkable.
However, Yorick shockingly struck Gwain’s wrist just as he swung the sword.
Gwain let out a scream of pain as his sword slipped from his grip, spinning
back and entrenching itself into a nearby tree.
“How is this even possible?” Wyatt and Hank stared in disbelief. They thought,
He just took down a spotless move with ease, and this is only the second
round!
In an instant, Yorick grabbed Gwain by the throat with one hand.

“Please! Don’t hurt Mr. Gwain!” Wyatt and Hank shouted as they hurried
forward, but one glare from Yorick was enough to send them back down.
They knew they were no match for Gwain, let alone this guy.
“Hmph! A real man can face death but not humiliation. Just finish me!” Before
Yorick could respond, Gwain shouted through clenched teeth, despair shining
in his eyes.
Growing up in the Lannister family, he’d been given the best martial arts
training since childhood. Thanks to his exceptional talent, he always outshone
the other Lannisters.
At fifteen, he was celebrated as Zovince’s top martial arts prodigy. By
twenty–five, he was recognized as one of the best fighters in the country,
alongside the renowned Northern Region War God.
With all that acclaim and success, he had never faced failure. Yet now,
tasked with finding the Dragon Tome, he had faced one setback after
another, forcing him to confront his own vulnerabilities and shattering his
self–esteem.

Yorick replied flatly, “I already said I won’t kill you. I just needed to see where I
stand after twenty years. Honestly, you let me down. Your moves are flashy
with no substance–you’re just a display piece for Chanaea.”
With that, he tossed Gwain aside and rode off on his tiger.
Yorick had expected the greatest fighters in Chanaea to be formidable
opponents, at least at the demi–saint level. Instead, he found Gwain just a
peak grandmaster, barely scraping the S–Level–not even close to the
Double S–Level.
Wyatt and Hank hurried to his side. “Mr. Gwain!”
“Don’t come near me!” Gwain shouted. His pride was crushed, and he wasn’t
ready to talk.
Hank wanted to say something, but Wyatt stopped him.
Once Gwain had walked off alone, Wyatt finally spoke up, “Mr. Gwain has hit a
rough patch in his life and probably needs some time alone. Let’s not bother

him right now.”
“But-” Hank started, but eventually sighed and nodded in agreement.
