*Block* *Parry* *Clash*
Our weapons clashed and repelled each other at every turn. Neither are overpowering the other and we keep being pushed back by the constant clash of weapons.
Each attack causes my arms to shake, the power behind each strike feels like it wouldn’t be halted even by a thick wall.
“Tch.” I clicked my tongue in frustration. There isn’t any obvious opening like last ti, and this dungeon doesn’t have enough room to work with for a good sneak attack or two. “Evari, get the hell outta here already!”
“What? Why! I can hel-
“That’s like saying you could stop a hurricane! Now take that guy with you and scram!” I yelled at her before focusing back on the fight.
*Swing* *Block*
“Ugh!” I almost got hit by that! Even just taking a mont to yell at her gives just enough ti for this mouse girl to close the gap between us.
*Block* *Parry* *Evade* *Block* *Clash*
It’s annoying that there is very little I can do outside of playing it slow. Ideally I want to get this over with quickly and go back ho for a long nice sleep, but this woman certainly won’t make it easy. Even with that giant impractical weapon, her speed and reach are still comparable to mine, if perhaps even having a range advantage with my current sword being shorter than the one I used last ti I faced her.
*Block* *Block* *Block*
The amount of attacks she threw at is relentless. Quick and brutal, and yet not leaving much breathing room.
At this point and ti, it doesn’t look like fighting using only our physical prowess would yield any result and would just lead to us dragging this out until one of us gets tired. Who knows how long that’ll actually take.
*Block* *Parry* *Clash*
I don’t really know how much mana she got left in the tank, and I don’t think she would like this to get drawn out either. After a certain amount of ti, she would probably quickly start throwing out powerful spells and other exotic techniques.
*Swing* *Parry* *Leap*
‘I doubt she wants to kill you, but if you don’t take her seriously, she might actually try to aim for the head.’ Those words rang out in my mind once I got so distance between us.
*Swing* *Blast*
I shoot out a blast of energy from my sword, just to gauge how she’ll react.
*Evade* *Crack*
She avoided the attack effortlessly and let the beam of energy hit the dungeon’s wall and cause a small crack in it. Thankfully I didn’t put that much mana into it, otherwise that would’ve been a pointless loss of energy.
*Dash* *Swing* *Evade* *Swing* *Leap*
She ran over and started an upward swing with her scythe which is quite telegraphed, but it doesn’t give the right amount of ti to counter, she simply jumped away the mont the attack didn't connect. This fight is gonna be way longer than I wanted…
**Dash** *Clash*
“Gh!” I groaned as I felt my arms tensing up from our weapons clashing. The pressure from the other party is comparable to my own, and I can’t afford to play this ga of attrition.
I feel like I am being pushed back as we keep this up, trying to overpower the other. She seems very focused on trying to actually overpower . It’s a bit of tunnel vision, isn’t it?
*Trip* *Kick* *Crash*
I kicked her feet and caused her to trip and fall down, which I followed up with a kick to the stomach that sent her flying and crashing into the dungeon wall.
*Swing* *Blast* *Evade*
Before the dust even cleared, a large beam of energy erged out and made its way towards . I dodged it easily enough, but that was still quite intimidating. She recovered from that attack very quickly.
*Dash* *Duck* *Swing* *Leap*
She ran at with a horizontal swing that I managed to duck under and try to counter with another tripping attempt, but she wisened up and jumped out of the way in ti.
“Hmph.” She let out a sound with an amused smile as she raised her scythe.
*Throw* *Spin* *Evade*
“Ah!” She threw her scythe at like a boorang. It traveled fast and looked like it would tear to shreds if it did connect.
*Dash* *Parry* *Thrust* *Evade*
She ran at and I parried the incoming attack then followed it with a thrust of my sword which she managed to side-stepped even after being briefly staggered.
*Swing* *Evade*
I swung the sword towards her imdiately, but she leaned back at a ridiculous angle to avoid the incoming slash.
*Swing* *Jump*
She also swung her scythe at while still leaning back like that, looking like she’s about to chop off my feet if I didn’t jump up a bit higher than needed.
*Swing* *Blast* *Leap*
I created another sword beam aiming right at her, and she simply jumped out of the way.
*Throw* *Spin* *Block*
During her ti still in the air, she threw her scythe at again while I was still airborne. I managed to block it but it caused my trajectory to change suddenly and almost launched straight into the wall.
I landed back down a bit clumsily, but it could’ve been worse.
*Dash* *Clash* *Parry* *Block* *Parry* *Block* *Clash*
She really doesn’t let up, running it back with more weapons clashing…
*Crack*
Huh? What was that just now?
*Punch* *Leap*
I quickly retreated and did a cheap shot with my fist before jumping away and inspecting my sword. There is a crack in it already. Damn it.
*Throw* *Swat*
I threw the sword at her and she simply swatted it away with her scythe. It’s better to use my fists than continuing to use a defective weapon.
Can’t say I like my odds against soone with such a big advantage when it cos to range, but I need to make due with what I got!
*Dash* *Swing* *Block* *Dash* *Kick* *Dash* *Swing* *Evade* *Swing* *Block* *Leap*
Aside from a weak kick to her side I didn’t get any hits in. She might technically be slowed down by the giant weapon she has while I tossed away the one I have, but the range ans that I got very few opportunities to actually close the gap and even get a hit in.
*Spark* *Zap* *Block*
I threw out a burst of electricity that she blocked with her scythe alone. Guess a half-hearted attack like that wouldn’t work…
*Dash* *Swing* *Duck* *Kick* *Punch*
She ran at with a wide swing that I ducked under and counter with a quick kick that disrupted her movent and gave enough ti to punch her back.
*Swing* *Spin* *Roll*
“Not this again!” I complained as another boorang scythe ca out, this ti even faster than the other two tis and necessitating rolling onto the ground to quickly get out of its way.
*Dash* *Punch*
This ti around I’m not just gonna wait around. I simply ran over and punched her in the face before the scythe could fly back to her.
*Grab* *Swing* *Evade*
The scythe still hod in and ca back into her hand just in ti to retaliate, swinging back at but not quite fast enough to connect.
“You are not above fighting dirty, just like last ti.” She remarked, being the first thing she said since we started this fight.
“And what? You expect to stop now?” I said with a small grin. “I need all the advantages I get. I know full well you’re not soone I can just overpower and beat in a few seconds.”
“The sa could be said for . It’s rare for to find soone who is just right.” She said with a more maniac grin. What a crazy bitch. She wasn’t kidding at all that this friend of hers is anything but normal.
Well, if she wants to be challenged that badly, then let’s see how she’ll do against this!
*Shine* *BLAST*
A quick blast of energy straight towards her. This would be the first attack with a good amount of effort into it.
*Dash* *Swing* *Evade* *Blast*
She ran towards after blocking that blast of energy. I dodged the incoming attack and blasted her in the face with another energy attack.
*Spark* *Grab* *Zap* *Throw* *Crash*
I then lunged forward and grabbed her throat with my hand covered in electricity, shocking her and my hand together before throwing her up into the ceiling.
*Swing* *Slash*
Before I could make out what she’s going to do next, a swing from her scythe caused a shockwave that acted as an invisible blade of energy, hitting in the right shoulder and giving a small bleeding wound.
*Leap*
“Tch.” I clicked my tongue before jumping out of the way of any possible attacks and covered my right shoulder. Slowly nding the tiny wound before it could possibly beco a problem later.
That gives her just enough ti to land back down safely.
*Shine*
I projected a sword that looks like it was made of pure light, making it grow to the size of my preferred type of swords.
*Dash* *Clash* *Parry* *Block*
I ran in and started going on the aggressive this ti around, the sword is extrely bright and causes everything to be hard to make out.
*Flash* *Punch* *Kick*
I dispelled the sword and let the light leak out in a massive flashbang, closing my eyes and throwing out punches and kicks where I know for a fact this woman is at, getting a few hits to connect.
*Smack* *Strike*
“Argh!” Unfortunately those don’t seem to stagger her enough and she hits with the back of the scythe and an elbow to the face.
*Grab* *Crash* *Slash* *CRASH*
“Ugh…” She then grabbed and swung around on the ground before dropping and hitting with the scythe which sent flying and almost completely buried into the dungeon wall.
“Surely you can do a little better than that. Visions aren’t a big issue for either of us, after all.” She confidently said while I clumsily got myself out of the crack in the wall.
“What a pain in the ass.” I muttered to myself while raising up my arms in anticipation for her next move.
*Throw* *Spin* *Dash*
She threw her scythe and also ran at at the sa ti.
*Swing* *Block* *Swing* *Block* *Spin* *Leap*
She threw out a few punches and kicks that I blocked rather easily, but I know those are just re distractions for the scythe still homing in on , so I jumped away to avoid it.
*Leap* *Swing* *Leap* *Crack*
She grabbed onto the scythe the mont it missed the mark and jumped towards with a massive swing that I jumped out of the way, causing the scythe to hit the ground and cause a large crack in the floor.
*Dash* *Swing* *Evade* *Swing* *Evade*
She ran at with more swings coming along for the ride.
*Swing* *Punch* *Kick* *Crash*
Another swing of the scythe, but this ti I punched the side of the scythe to disorient her before kicking her in the stomach and sent her flying.
*Spark* *Zap*
I zapped her with a thunder spell for good asure to keep her from quickly recovering from the previous attack.
*Dash* *Knee* *Punch* *Crash*
A knee to the chin and a punch to the cheek, sending her flying in the other direction and crashing into another wall.
She quickly gets back up and looks ready to go for more.
*Dash* *Swing* *Evade* *Leap* *Zap*
She tried to attack again and I simply jumped out of the way and blasted her with electricity again.
*Dim* *Slash*
“Ah!” She then engulfed her scythe in darkness and swung in my direction, that attack seems to have so sort of gravity effect as it dragged towards her.
*Swing* *Grab*
She swung her scythe at while my feet hadn’t touched the ground yet, so I chose to grab onto the scythe instead and ride the montum of the swing to propel away from her.
“Quite a bold move, I would say.” She remarked while still looking confident and not even a bit winded. Admittedly I am still in good shape as well, the lack of a weapon aside.
Just how long is this going to go on for, for crying out loud…
