Battle Mage [2]

"Where are you?"

Mother Mash regained her vision and hearing. She looked around but there was no sign of Nathan.

"[Search]"

The grid pattern again appears on the arena.

She carefully looks around, holding her halberd closely in case Nathan suddenly attacks, as she walked.

Shortly she shook her head and finally stopped searching.

"You again hid in the ground. So this is why you used the flashbang but-"

Swosh-

"-'[Search]' detects pits and traps too!"

Bang-!

She suddenly smashed her halberd on the ground!

The brown wooden board covering a pit was blasted to bits. The halberd doesn't stop and smashes 'something' hiding inside the pit.

Mother Mash sighed and pulled back the halberd.

"You shouldn't have used the same trick twice."

"I agree"

"Wha-?!"

Clang-!

Nathan, falling from the sky, swings the greatsword in his hand. Mother Mash barely blocks the attack at the last second.
