“You will not survive this ti,” said the red-haired woman, and attacked
without hesitation.
Last ti, there was no care for the consequences in her eyes.
This ti, there were no consequences. I had heard what, the Knight had said to Lich and understood the gravity of those words.
The legacy is destroyed, and so is the protection that ca with it.
Many might have doubts about it, but they are angry enough to put that aside. Besides, the explosion gives them plausible deniability against the consequences that might co after killing .
By then, it would be too late to ascertain the facts.
I didn’t just watch the attack and launched my own with a new skill, Blade of the Gale.
As I did, a surprise flashed in her eyes, but that surprise didn’t stop her blade from coming at her neck and she had even increased the speed and power of her attack, but I am not the one, that will give her a chance.
Especially now.
Clang!
Our blades clashed, and for a mont, the fury in her eyes vanished.
“You have leveled up,” she said, and the fury returned, burning even more brightly than before. “Not just leveled up, but even got my class upgraded,” I replied and grinned, making her even angrier.
“It will not save you,” she said and attacked again.
This ti, her blade was faster than before and even used the skill, she hadn't before; it released glare into my eyes.
Eyes of Erenys.
Imdiately, I activated the spell and swung my sword. The spell is from Necromancer Esalya.
Earlier, when they tried different spells to see through the dust. They used many ocular skills; I had imprinted them.
I could imprint the spell from both the inner range and outer range, but in the outer range, I have to focus. In a range of my establishnt, controlling the planets is far easier, including the most powerful one.
Clang!
Our blades clashed against them, but this ti, she didn’t say anything, instead charged forward and attacked .
I moved left with the Blitz Steps, surprising her once again.
I am thoroughly impressed by the Blitz Step. it is an amazing skill, much faster than my Rapid Steps. However, it had so flaws, like the skill becoming short-range skills from dium-range ones that Rabid Steps had.
I do not mind. I preferred it.
With Rapid Steps, I could do many things. Walked a mile quickly, but also fought with it. However, it was not as specialized as the Blitz Steps, which is for the battle, and that was its flaw.
With the Blitz Steps. It had been fixed.
The range of Blitz Steps is around two hundred ters, and I could run these two hundred ters really fast.
I dodged her attack and swung my sword with the Blade Of The Gale.
My rapier reached really close to her; it was just an inch away from her waist before she was able to dodge it.
“You!” she said and in fury attacked, using more skills.
Her movents beco dizzying. At the sa ti, three more blades ca out of her saber, targeting different parts of my body.
‘She will have to do much better if she wants to kill ,’ I thought and moved my rapier to defend.
Clang Clang Clang
We clashed, but it didn’t stop her, and she attacked again and again. I defended and attacked her back.
She may be powerful, but I am not weak. I will defeat her.
Rip!
I just thought that when her saber ripped through my sleeve and gave
a cut. I was able to dodge it in ti, but the cut was still deep enough to draw out the blood.
I didn’t even react to it and moved forward before launching the attack.
The new skills are excellent, but I didn’t get much ti to get used to it. My enemy is a powerful and experienced fencer who is at level 25 or near it.
I am not blaming my skills. If I didn’t have the level-up, I would have had far more injuries on my body or even been killed already.
What I am trying to say, is if I had good control and familiarity over these new skills. I would have been doing better than I am. Still, that doesn’t an, I have given up on killing her, I have not; I will kill her, despite
admiring her skills.
Rip!
Another injury appeared to , this ti on my stomach. Like before, I bore it, like nothing had happened.
While I was fighting against her; other attacks ca at . Spells, these spells are coming at less frequency than the first battle, but they are powerful.
Not a single spell had been weaker than Grade III, and I felt two or three being Grade IV, coming from the direction of the Lich, which was once again being contained by Lena and her team.
However, this ti, they seed to be having problems in containing it, and even their life, seed to be in danger.
Seeing how dangerous things are, I am keeping an eye on spells targeting . Ready to defend myself against them.
Rip!
Once again, another attack of hers hit , and another one, not long after.
“One of these attacks will kill you,” she said, looking at her bloody saber. “Tell , when that happens,” I said and launched my own attack, which she had dodged before coming at , once again.
Clang Rip Clang
The blades clashed, with injuries appearing on my body. All of them were small injuries, only cuts; I was able to dodge them before they cut
deeply.
I was not able to dodge so precisely before, but now with Gymnasts Control, I am.
It is a wonderful skill as useful as the Gymnast Grace, or even better than it. The best thing about it is that it lets
control the tiny movents, which helps
avoid bigger injuries.
If I had the skill before, it would have made things very easy for .
I dodged another attack by the centiter and took a step forward before launching my own.
Rip!
It cut through her shoulder, and it was not a small cut. It was bigger than any injury, she had given .
I could see the fury blazing in her eyes, but I barely glanced at it as I moved for another attack.
She countered, before attacking , giving
another injury.
Rip!
A smile had appeared on her face, but the next second it disappeared when she received injury from .
The woman is good, but I am finally getting the hang of her fighting style and control over my skills.
“You are dreaming. If you think this will do anything against ,”
She is not an idiot and seems to understand what is happening. She intensified her attacks, using skill after skill, while I only used the Blitz Steps and Blade Of The Gale to attack and defend.
Sotis, I would use Quick Parry, but that’s all.
It’s not like, I don’t want to use the other skills. I do, but in this battle of fast legs and quick swords; the other skills are unnecessary.
Rip Rip Ting!
Another injury appeared on her shoulder, and a few seconds after that, another one on her back before hitting her armor across her chest.

The pace of my attacks is increasing, and it has beco equal to hers, and it is making her angry, which makes her even angry.
Her attacks were becoming stronger and faster, that I wanted to enter war mode, but I didn’t. Instead, I kept fighting as I am. Defending most, but launching a few attacks of my own.
It might look like disadvantageous to , but it is instead helpful. She is letting that anger get the best of her and taking risks she would usually wouldn’t.
In doing that, she is making mistakes. Eventually, she is going to make a mistake; that will give
the opportunity I am looking for.
Hun!
I was thinking that when suddenly, I sensed sothing that raised all the hair on my body.
Huge bone lances, covered in burning death fire, co toward .
The shields appeared to stop them, and so did, but a few broke past them. Reaching really close to . That, if another powerful shield didn’t appear, within a second, those burning lances were going to tear
apart.
‘That bastard!’ I cursed.
I know it is the Lich; it is not the first ti, the bastard had attacked, but most of the attacks would be stopped by Lena and others fighting him or Mage Aldridge fighting close to , but this ti, they were only able to stop half of the attacks.
Aqua Shield. Frost Shield. Earth Shield X 2.
I activated spells instantly, knowing I would need to protect myself. Shields appeared, layered over one another as I had expected them to.
These spells are from Shaun, he is a generalist. They are good at layering spells of different elents.
Bang Bang Bang!
The burning bone lances covered reached the shield and crashed against them.
They didn’t have a problem piercing Aqua Shield, but it took so of their montum and power before crashing into the hard Frost Shield. They blasted it into pieces, but it took a lot of their power.
So, when they crashed into the Earth Shields; they had a lot less power, but it was still a Grade IV spell and crushed through the first Earth Shield.
Finally, they crashed into the second Earth Shield and blasted apart.
Still, the spell was powerful enough to make the shield crack near the breaking point before disappearing.
Rip!
The joy of defending against the attack was short-lived as the next second, I felt a deep cut in my stomach.
She used the distraction of the Lich’s attack to give
a deep cut. She would have cut my guts out or divided
in two, if not for
dodging the attack on ti.
‘I have to finish the battle quickly or I will end up, losing my life,’ I thought.
I am sure, the lich wouldn’t stop attacking . I might be able to stop this attack, but I won't be able to stop the next one even if I did.
This woman will make use of distraction and finish
off.
I wanted to use that skill. It will make things easy, but I don’t feel it is the right ti yet.
I had just thought that when another attack ca from the lich. Fortunately, they were able to stop the attack.
“You will die soon,” she said, guessing what I was thinking.
Rip!
“Not dead yet,” I replied and defended against her attack and launched my own, which she had defended and attacked again, which hit .
Seconds passed and more and more attacks of her began to hit . They would hit more intensely when I was distracted by the attack of the lich.
The attacks kept coming at
and causing a distraction. She is using that opportunity with everything she has.
Over a minute passed, and more injuries appeared on my body. She used every opportunity to kill ; she hadn't succeeded, but she had brought more injuries on , while
only able to bring one.
It is so small, that it wasn’t even able to draw out the blood. It was a scratch.
Hun!
A few more seconds passed when another attack ca. It was the most dangerous spell; he had ever used. I didn’t even know, he had it.
The spell is huge dark black lightning, shining powerfully in a bright moonlight.
Zorrin’s Lightning.
A grade 4 spell and a very powerful one at that and coming directly at
from above. Seeing that, the woman leaped at , with my head as the target.
It was a big opportunity, she had been waiting for and wasted no ti exploiting it.
I seed have to froze seeing the destructive spell; not caring about the lightning or the enemy coming toward .
To others, it looked like, I got overwheld.
Aqua Shield. Taren’s Radiance. Aqua Shield. Taren’s Radiance. Earth Shield.
It didn’t, and the shields appeared above ; at the sa ti, I focused on the enemy. Who is in the air due to leap and her saber being just a few inches away from .
She felt my eyes and saw my lips curling and her expression changed imdiately. Understanding what had happened.
What happened is simple, she had fallen into my trap. I had her in the air, without much freedom to move.
However, the fear had remained in her eyes for a mont before it disappeared and beca a challenge. She is saying so what, she is in the air; her saber is just a few inches away from .
I wish I could tell how mistaken she is about that.
I moved, and imdiately, the challenge in her eyes vanished. My speed is greater than I have ever shown.
However, even with the speed, her saber touched my neck and she tried to move it to cut , but I was fast. Faster than her saber and was moved away, while attacking her with my rapier.
I was not holding back on the Blitz Step alone, but also on Gale Of The Blade.
My sword moved, but it didn’t move toward her chest or neck but at her axilla; right below her underarm. It is a part that is not protected by an arm. She wouldn’t be able to defend it with her saber.
She tried to move away, but she was in the air, with limited maneuverability. She could do nothing.
My rapier reached below her underarm and enchantnts on it flared. At the sa ti, I activated Sharpness.
PUCH!
It entered inside, cutting the bone, before reaching her heart and piercing through it. She tried to get away till the end but failed.
BANG BANG BANG!
At the sa ti, Zorrins Lightning crashed against the shields above .
The spell imdiately showed its massive power by destroying the first layer of Aqua Shield and Taren’s Radiance in an instant, but it took longer to destroy the second layer.
When it finally crashed on the Earth Shield, most of its power had been spent. What had remained had blasted the shield apart.
Thud!
The spell dispersed and the dead body of the woman fell down. I looked at her and felt relief. She was a powerful enemy; I rather not fight soone like her, on this battlefield.
I might not survive.
