Alicia's face sank. She wondered why she needed to fight this old man. But her face sank even more when she felt the spirit pressure weighing down on her from the old man. She knew right then and there that the old man was very powerful. Alicia quickly drew her sword and watched the old man very carefully.
"Haha! Relax little lass, I will only kill you!" The old man laughed before he suddenly stepped into a rift and reappeared in front of Alicia striking down with his sword. Alicia quickly stepped back and waved her hand creating a distortion behind her, reappearing on the opposite side of the room.
The two kept going back and forth disappearing and reappearing. The old man continued to laugh as if he had lost his mind. "I don't get it! You're not even dead, why would you set up this tower with its trials?"
