Pushing Back the Enemy

On one side, a lone knight was wielding a large scythe. On the other hand, a butterfly was holding a bluish-white energy blade. Both stood still for a moment, tension rising between them.

And then the fight began abruptly.

"[Phantom World]!"

Queen Tala created five illusory clones of herself as she charged forward, trying to confuse her enemy. But the knight didn't fall for it. With a single wave of his scythe, all five illusions fizzed away, like a disturbed mirage.

Right! None of the five illusions were the main body!

With a face filled with surprise, the knight quickly spun his weapon around and placed the wide face of its blade across his back.

*TING!*

And right at that moment, a blade touched the scythe, releasing a loud ping.

[What a feisty woman!]

The knight cackled.

[But too naive!]
