Laxus didn't reply and simply rolled away, kicking up dust as he regained his footing. It was definitely not a graceful technique but that didn't matter at this moment.
On the other hand, Hayden didn't attack him during this time and simply watched how he scrambled to his feet.
Nonetheless, Laxus didn't appreciate it as he looked at Hayden as if he wanted to strangle him.
"You're nothing," Laxus growled. "A child playing at being a knight!"
It seemed that he still didn't understand his situation as he still fired some insults.
Then, after taking a few breaths, Laxus pounced once again—but Hayden was done playing…
He realized that Laxus was indeed truly prideful and wouldn't admit defeat so easily. He had to break him!
Hayden continued to use his Dawnbreaker Sword Art and easily deflected Laxus' wild swings… He was using this technique to tire Laxus out and also reserve his strength for his explosive moves!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
