Sari grinned at Rhefia, her sword raised as she prepared to block one of Rhefia's attacks, all while her voice flowed into the air as she chanted out a spell.

"'I plead thee, Warriors of Valor long since dead, lend this unworthy mortal thy Ichor!'"

The more she spoke, the thicker the air around her became, and as I activated {Mana Sense} I was shocked to see vibrant red threads coiling around her, weaving themselves into her body.

They moved with her as she parried a thrust from Rhefia's heavy spear, sparks flying as the two metal weapons collided, and I saw my wife narrow her eyes as Sari managed to flick her blade forwards, trying to score another glancing blow.

"'Valorous Coil!'"

My eyes widened as Sari pulsed with red light, her veins simmering under her skin as the red threads of fire wove themselves to her veins, strengthening her considerably.

A wide grin appeared on her face as she grew faster and stronger, and Rhefia grunted as the Catkin Captain's sword flickered around, pushing the Deerkin's spear around like a toy.

However, before Sari could create too large of a gap between them both, Rhefia growled as she tapped into the earthen threads of the Weave, mirroring Sari's spell.

"Haha~! Now THIS is a spar, Rhefia~!"

Twirling her blade, Sari slipped under a horizontal slash from Rhefia and rammed her shoulder into her abdomen, only to grunt as Rhefia slammed her elbow down onto her back.

Kicking out, Rhefia forced Sari back a few steps, but before her spear could flick out and score a hit, Sari flashed forwards, her already swift speed even faster as she appeared before Rhefia once more.

Her sword slashed upwards, and Rhefia grit her teeth as she barely managed to stop the keen edge as Sari tried to slice through her chest, but...

"Two one, me~!"

Slipping the swords tip forwards, she stabbed Rhefia slightly in the chest, a small puncture wound that pierced her leather cuirass weeping blood.

Nodding, Rhefia placed her hand over the wound and took a deep breath, and I saw the threads around her coil into the wound, stitching it back up.

Though, she did wince as she healed herself.

Wordlessly, Rhefia raised her spear and returned to the fight, rushing forwards and unleashing a flurry of attacks with her spear, forcing Sari into the defensive.

Thrusts lanced towards the Catkin's chest and shoulders, while slashes and cuts worked towards her legs and arms, and finally, Rhefia added in the butt of her spear, using the blunt shaft to catch Sari off guard sometimes.

However, the Catkin Captain was just as experienced as Rhefia, as she never once allowed any of those strikes to reach her, blocking and redirecting them all, that arrogant smirk still on her face as her and Rhefia entered a dance of whirling blades.

The rest of us watched in awe as they fought, and some of the other occupants of Rowala Park came by to watch as well, enraptured by the show of skill the two displayed.

Pushing Sari's sword away, Rhefia flicked the butt of her spear towards Sari's skull, which the Catkin ducked before trying to slash at Rhefia's exposed abdomen.

Stepping back, Rhefia swung her spear down swiftly, and the broad edge nicked Sari's cheek, resulting in them both taking a few steps back.

"Two two."

Rhefia was grinning still, while Sari chuckled as she wiped the blood away.

"Pretty good, Rhefia~! Pretty good~! But... let's finish this quickly, shall we~? I want Astra under me soon..."

That made Rhefia laugh, and she nodded as she said "Then let me finish this quickly. After all, winner gets Astra for tonight~! And she's MINE!"

Sari's eyes widened as Rhefia appeared before her, the heavy spear in her hands slicing through the air swiftly as it arced down towards Sari's chest.

Bringing her sword up, Sari grunted as she imbued her arms with more of her mana, the threads inside flaring as she managed to push Rhefia's spear away with a shout.

As she parried Rhefia's spear aside, Sari reached her hand forwards as she tried to grab Rhefia's collar, only to gasp as the Deerkin swatted her hand away with the shaft of her spear.

Dislodging her weapon from Sari's, Rhefia pushed Sari back before stabbing the spear forwards, cutting into the Catkin's cheek once more.

They stood there in silence as Rhefia managed to end the spar in rapid fashion, staring into each others eyes before taking a step back.

Resting her spear in the nook of her arm, Rhefia nodded to Sari as the Catkin sheathed her blade and crossed her arms.

"Fine... Fine, Sari. You can stay with us... just... tone it back on the confrontational jabs, alright?"

Chuckling, Sari grinned at Rhefia as she shrugged, saying "I can certainly try, but it's so~ fun ticking you off, y'know? You get worked up so easily, Rhefia."

The Deerkin shook her head as she stared at Sari with a wry smile, before she looked around the field, staring at the various spectators with a raised brow.

"You all done looking?"

The onlookers flinched, nodding as they scurried away, though a few of them remained, blushing hard as they looked at the two muscled warriors - most of them were the Freyishtra Rabbitkin, but a few Deerkin, Mousekin, and even a Wolfkin watched the two with lust.

"Listen, we're both taken women, so... sorry. Unless you want to come here and suck the semen off my cock as I ravish my wife, leave."

The Rabbitkin nodded and departed, as did the others save for a Mousekin, who was blushing hard as she approached.

"U-Um... I... I w-wouldn't m-mind cl-cleaning off your cocks..?"

Rhefia and Sari looked at one another before looking down at the furiously blushing Mousekin, both towering over the woman and smirking.

Glancing at me, they both saw me wave my hands at them as I got up, leading the Geri back to the carriage.

"Then come here, little mouse..."
