Trey vs Samantha

Samantha stood opposite Trey, not understanding why he was not attacking, at first she thought that he was evaluating her strength, but after a couple of seconds she noticed that it had become darker around her, afraid to look away from Trey, she began to look behind him, seeing that there was darkness behind him. It seemed to Samantha that due to the strong concentration she had problems with her vision. Trey silently looked into her eyes, she could not read the emotions that were hidden in his eyes.

- You probably have a question why I do not attack? - Asking a question, Trey lowered his shield to the ground, leaving only the sword in his hands.

Samantha nodded at his question, expecting him to reveal part of his plan so she and Cassandra could counter him.

- Unlike you and Cassandra, I can't showcase my swordsmanship to anyone watching right now. Not because it's secret or anything like that. - Telling Trey, ahead of the appearance of speculation in the head of Samantha.

- So why? - Hesitantly Samantha asked how she was and he felt it in her voice.

- If anyone sees this style there will be questions, and I want to hide who I really am for now. Trey answered in a sad voice.

Samantha stared blankly at Trey, who smiled sadly at the look of incomprehension on her face.

- After the fight, I will introduce myself, and yes, what is behind me is not a mirage, you can look around, I will not attack for two seconds. - Trey said mysteriously with sadness in his voice.

It was difficult for her to believe in his words, so she carefully turned her head without letting Trey out of her sight and what she saw completely paralyzed her around there was solid darkness and the two of them stood in the middle of it.

- Two seconds have passed, I could hit you now and win, but you would not admit defeat and demand a rematch. - Trey said, taking the scabbard in one hand and lowering the blade in the other hand.

Samantha could only get angrier, he didn't treat her like an equal. They stood opposite each other, so there was no need to close the distance. Waving from left to right, aiming at his chest, she hit.

But the sheath met the blow, and Trey's blade rose in a sharp upward movement, aiming at the emblem.

Trying to move the shoulder where the emblem was, she began to quickly cast a spell, losing most of the runes along the way.

Of the air knives, only one was created instead of six. Pointing it at Trey's feet, she jumped back and the sword made a dangerous line next to her chest. Why is his fighting style so familiar? Samantha's fighting style resembled something she'd seen before.

Deciding to attack first when the air knife fell into the ground, she tried to catch it by mistake. Aiming at his shoulder, she tried to strike from above, but the blow was blocked by the sword, sensing the danger, she retreated and in time, in the place where she had just stood, Trey holding the scabbard like a sword made an arc.

I guess I was lucky that Samantha either didn't know the Cray empire style or forgot. Or maybe both, what does the princess of the elves care about one of the empires of people?

I did not just reveal to everyone that I possess darkness. I decided to hide the secret in secret, about the darkness and so they would have known sooner or later. But about my true identity, questions may eventually subside if I don't show Cray's empire style.

The choice of two evils, I chose the lesser, let the empire of Kray believe that Prince Aluric has escaped. While blocking Samantha's attacks, I couldn't help but wonder at the smooth movement of her sword and her synergy with it, was it sword talent or technique?

Compared to our fighting styles, mine was for breaking through and dealing damage through deception with the scabbard while the opponent was blocking the sword and not expecting the threat, the threat in the form of a scabbard reached him, which could damage both important parts of the body and block damage from the enemy.

Deciding to try something new, I began to accumulate in the sword, the darkness can be seen Samantha felt something as she quickly accelerated the damage. Some I blocked, some I dodged or parried, just like she taught me to fight since childhood.

The world creates the illusion that nothing is in danger, but everyone who was from noble families knew the world was not a safe place; on the contrary, it was very dangerous.

Seeing the sword turn completely dark, I slashed the sword with two short strokes up and down, aiming at her emblem.

Not knowing how strong the blow would be, I tried to soften it. Samantha understood that there was little time left, she tried to move further, but before she had time, two quick blows went over the emblem, destroying it.

Samantha, from the realization that she had lost, knelt down and wrapped her arms around herself. Seeing her behavior, I could only click in annoyance, when I cancel the darkness everyone will see how I stand over her, she sits on her knees wrapping her arms around herself.

Probably everyone will decide that I am a monster, shaking my head, I canceled the effect of darkness and gradually the arena began to open in front of me.
