Fear

"Good energy," I praised, but instead of getting happy with it, the woman glared and attacked again.

This time, she didn't try to hide her energies, and they became visible, covering her saber-like sharp ribbons.

I responded, with dense black energies around my sword turning like ropes. I can tell those ribbons aren't for the looks only; they are dangerous, and I better not underestimate them.

CLANNNG!

Our weapons clashed again, but the attack didn't stop instead ribbons came at me like snakes.

The ropes moved in response and wrapped around the ribbon, stopping them in their tracks.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!

While the ribbons and robes struggled, the woman continued with her attacks. I countered each of her attacks while keeping my excited heart under control.
