Fight

The deep clanging of blades clashing could be heard from near a mile away. What used to be a lush verdant green forest was now akin to a warzone. Great trenches could be seen on the ground, these trenches where made by sword blades.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus had been walking through the outskirts of a rather small kingdom when they met. It had been around three months since Daedalus started his journey and the name the Swordsman had become rather well known. That would be why a sword master had come, and that was exactly what Daedalus wanted.

When the man appeared in front of him Daedalus didn't hesitate to unsheath his sword. A small smile was laying across his lips. The sword master seemed to respect his decisiveness and also unsheathed his sword while nodding.

Daedalus again moved without hesitation and dashed towards the man. Daedalus had long inspected the man's cultivation and lowered his own, although minutely, accordingly. The sword master met his dash with a seemingly simple slash, Daedalus however felt an ever so slight danger coming from it.

With quick response Daedalus came to a stop just before the man and parried the blade just as it was reaching his neck. Icarus flowed smoothly as Daedalus parried causing the man's blade to be directed toward the sky. As this happened Daedalus directed Icarus in a slash towards the man's torso.

Before the blade could land however Daedalus found Icarus being redirected towards the left and the ground. Quickly Daedalus took advantage of the redirecting momentum and flipped in order to doge a blow that could have removed his leg. As this happened Icarus carved a smooth trench through the lush ground.

Standing opposite once more Daedalus smiled at the man and raised Icarus once more. The man's face also took on a grin at this moment before he dashed at near supersonic speeds towards Daedalus. With a swift stab Daedalus managed to successfully stop the man's charge.

As they fought every now and then a redirect of the blades would cause trees to topple or trenches to form. Over the course of the battle the once lush forest became what could only be described as a wasteland. In the end Daedalus managed to disarm the man though only barely.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After disarming the man Daedalus sighed and said with exhaustion apparent on his face "That was a good fight, what might your name be?"

The man also clearly tired himself sat on the ground and said with a tired voice "I am Bokuden, though I do prefer 'The wandering swordsman' I think you own that now."

Daedalus couldn't help but smile while saying "It's good to finally meet you, Master Bokuden. It was a good fight, and I hope one day we can have another."

With that said Daedalus began to walk away, however Bokuden asked "I am curious, what might your name be, master Swordsman?"

Daedalus chuckled for a moment before saying "Find out when you defeat me."
