So I took a deep breath
With both of my sword and saber ready, I dashed forward.
A swing, a dodge, and another swing.
She was rather fast but she wasn't warping around- at least not often. And one of her hands was occupied with the stone. I guess that was more or less a double-edged sword.
She mostly evaded me.
But- even if I landed hits on her, she just recovered.
She couldn't really hit me either, thanks to my alpha and beta particles but maintaining this was tough. With my powers almost sealed, just using the particles was draining me hard.
So technically, this was more or less a stalemate of sorts. A stalemate that I was gradually losing.
"To think you've progressed this far. You really are a genius." And Hyora still found the time to compliment me.
She was nowhere near taking me seriously.
"No, not really."
