Blinding the Blind

I instinctively covered my eyes because it was too bright. Now that he was able to hinder my eyesight, he's charging towards me and is now trying to execute a surprise move before I could regain my eyesight.

*SWOOOOOOSH!* He tried to use a powerful slash move from the side but I was able to avoid it easily.

*SWOOOOOOSH!* He once again charged at me slowly and silently this time but like earlier, it was useless.

"How are you doing that? You should not be able to evade that with your eyes closed." He asked me after he failed to deliver two heavy attacks.

"Trying to blind the blind. That's really cruel of you, Jay." He might have forgotten about me being blind in real life.

"Oh... I forgot about that. But still, I have to defeat you at all cost." I can tell that with his third form, His overall power way too higher than mine. My only choice is to give all I've got and hope that the others will finish the rest.

"I'm so tired and so weak. I don't know if this is still worth my efforts anymore but true friends don't leave each other even the odds are not in their favor. I only knew Scy and the others for just a short period of time but I can tell that they are the ones worth fighting for. They may be troublemakers but they don't leave their friends behind. Zofie, let's do this. ZOFIA'S BOOTS OF QUICKNESS!" If my attacks are not powerful enough, then I will make it up with speed. I still can't open my eyes so instead, I focused my mind using my other senses.

"This is not as easy as you thought. This is really big, Chara. But, I will not persuade you and I will just continue with what I know is right. Let's do this, Chara! SILVER SLASH OF PURITY!" Unlike before, Jay's weapon has light elemental damage now. I can feel his mana flowing through his sword.

*SWOOOOOSH!* His attack may be powerful but I have the speed. His attack missed and then I started to get near him.

"You just had a death wish to get near me!" He said and then tried to grab me.

He grabbed my shoulder like always but I already anticipate that move. After holding me, I made my own shoulder armor disappear making his grip weaker and I swiftly twirl around making him lost his grip and then...

*STABS* I quickly stabbed the side of his body and as I expected, my dagger didn't pierce all the way but it was able to break his defense.

He tried to grab me once again but I rolled on the ground slashing the back of his knee and made him lost his balance from the force.

He wasn't able to defend from that and he fell on his knees after he lost his balance. I stood up behind him and I swiftly readied my dagger to hit the back of his head! Fortunately, he hates to use helmet giving me the opportunity to end it with a fatal blow!

"ZOFIA'S DAGGER OF IMPALER!" I pulled my dagger and preparing to stab him with all I've got!

Suddenly...

*BAAAAAM!* What the?! He swiftly moved his body sideways and then he was able to land a kick from behind! His kick wasn't that powerful because he only used it to make me stop my attack!

He was able to knock me back but he's still not in the good condition to stand. I lost my chance but it's not enough to stop me from trying!

"ZOFIA'S JACKFRUIT THORNS!" I shot daggers using Zofia's ability to create weapons. It's not powerful but enough to buy me some time to get near him!

*ZWOOOOOSH!* With one sweep of his sword, all the daggers flew away because of the powerful shockwave force of his sword! I stopped from charging after he used that powerful blow.

I'm still amazed at how he defends himself from my attacks. He doesn't really have that much any special ability but just brute force and good hand to hand combat but it's really hard to stop this guy.

"SILVER THREADS!" Suddenly, I'm having a hard time moving! I finally opened my eyes and then saw some kind of threads all over my body! Since when did he use them?!

"SILVER SLICES!" Then he pulled the threads with a sudden force! The threads get tighter and my armor is getting ripped off! (Not in a naughty way)

*BAAAAM!* The threads were suddenly cut off because of the force!

"That armor is tough! My threads can't even slice them off," He said really amazed. Though my armor shows cuts and slices all over. Unfortunately, if I want to recreate m armor, it would take a lot of mana...

He changed his fighting stance. I can tell that it's not the same ones he usually does. He's holding his sword with both his hands. Is he planning to charge straight ahead and defeat me with brute force?

"We may be facing a big problem right now but don't forget that there's a brighter side for every darkness. SILVER LININGS!" After saying that, he charged at me fast enough that my reaction was too late!

*BAAAAAAM!* Huh?! A sudden slash came out of nowhere from the side! It destroyed my arm guard! He's faster than before! There's no time to retaliate!

*BAAAAAAM!* Another side slashes from behind! It almost tore my body armor! Then a sudden slash to the back of my leg! He moved so fast that my body's not reacting on time!

"ZOFIA'S SHIELD OF BULWARK!" Wait! Where is he?! I looked in front but he's not there!

*BAAAAAM!* Huh! He used a powerful slash on top of my head but Zofie was able to make a shield in time! It broke but I was able to get away before it hits me! That was close!

*CLANG!* He appeared in front of me and as soon as he appeared, he's not looking! I can't tell where his attack will come from! He slashed from below and his sword hit both my daggers which I tried to use to block his attack! My daggers flung away! There's not enough time to recreate my weapon!

*SWOOOOSH!* I did my best trying to back away! He missed the attack but out of nowhere, he appeared from my side and then...

"How?!" He muttered as he realized that I stopped his sword by holding the blade. He's aiming to stab me in the chest. My glove wasn't tough enough to protect my hand from getting sliced but I risked. My hand is severely injured that my fingers and palm are almost sliced off but it helped me survived from getting stabbed to death.

Blood drips from my hand and from my back. Am I really going to lose here after all that I did for everyone? Am I going to be left alone because I chose the thing that I think is right?

Ugh! He swiftly pulled the sword back and then once again preparing to make another move. Then I tried to look at him closely and not let him escape from my sight. I did my best to concentrate and give it all but...

*BAAAAAAM!* What?! I suddenly felt his presence from the side and out of panic, I raised my arm with arm guard to defend! My arm was devastated but I guess it's sturdy enough to not make my arm get cut off.

"Chara, let's stop this madness. I don't want to hurt you anymore. Let me give you a quick death." He said... I know that what he's doing right now is hard for him to do but if he has the reason to kill me, then I have a reason to defend myself even if I have to go through all of this.

Huh? Then somehow, a light reflected from my armor and I don't know where it came from. I checked it out and then I saw my armor... it has markings from his previous silver threads attack. All the markings are connected to the wounds I have and the target of his attacks! He's not mindlessly attacking me but it has a pattern. Now... it's up for me to guess where his next target.

"Show me all you've got, Jay. I will show you that I am not to be underestimated." I said and created a dagger. My left arm and left hands are kinda messed up now so my right arm is the only working one.

"You asked for it, then I will give it to you!" As I expected, he disappeared from my sight and just left a light.

*CLANG!* In just a moment, I already realized where he will show up. I blocked his attack using my dagger. His attack was powerful enough to push me back and I did my best not to fall.

"Your perception is really good. I know that you will figure it out sooner but knowing where my attacks would come from would not make you win this fight." He's pretty right but giving up is not one of my abilities.

"Are you sure about that?" Then he suddenly realized that he's bleeding already.

"Ugh... when did you..." He said while pulling the dagger from the side of his body. After blocking his attack, I threw the dagger to his body when I was being pushed back. Taking advantage of the situation is one of my specialty after all.

"Now, let's see if I'm still the one who's on the losing side," I said and just smiled at him. Even if I have to use a thousand daggers to kill him, I will.
