Van paused for a moment without saying anything. Even though both sides were covered by shadows, Ash could still tell that he was angry.
A clear disappointed sigh echoed in the quiet darkness.
"Sigh… What a pity, Your Highness, I really hoped that you would agree. I had actually believed that you would let me do that…"
"Ha, of course not. Are you stupid enough to think that I would agree?"
Ash had already prepared himself to summon the Sword of Dawn if Van intended to approach and harm him and Canis.
Only when he was extremely close to him would Ash have the courage to use the Sword of Dawn.
If Van was far away, all he could do was slash the ground like when he fought Lucian, and just like that time, this place would be heavily destroyed.
But whether Van would be knocked unconscious like Lucian was still an unanswered question.
He was strong, much stronger than Lucian now, so there was a high chance that he would survive that blow.
