"I... I..."
Arthur stuttered, unable to explain himself properly.
He couldn't confess how his pride led to his weapon almost sacrificing itself, or how he chose to fight barehanded to prove his mettle, leading to his current sorry state.
Xu Tao watched his face change colors rapidly and couldn't help but sigh. "Well, I don't know what happened, but I heard you can't use Excalibur right now? Want a side weapon to use in the meantime?"
He wasn't the devil himself, so he had no intention of pushing Arthur to the edge when he was already showing remorse. Instead of that, he offered a way to solve the problem at its roots.
"I have a lot of swords to choose from. You can choose any—"
But before Xu Tao could finish his words, Excalibur shifted so violently it clanked within the scabbard. It sounded aggressive, almost as if it was throwing a tantrum.
