[Summary: The first one to drop to 20% HP losses. No draw! You can use items, skills, and everything at your disposal!]
"Sword Thrust..." Reylin whispered after Lioness' sword passed next to his cheek.
He didn't dare to clash with his body against her, and he would use his experience from both the game and real life!
After avoiding the thrust, he scrutinized the distance between the sword and his body. He also glanced toward the white-haired swordsman and distanced himself, leaving the fireball behind.
The fireball exploded but just barely scratched Lioness.
She silently pushed her sword forward, chasing after Reylin.
Although Lioness wasn't a lady who had practiced swordsmanship before the game, she exercised much in real life. She also had her brothers training up their chosen styles. Her eyes analyzed many different weapons from time to time.
Picking up a sword wasn't anything complicated for her, and players often thought otherwise.
Many players believed she had practiced the weapon for years with how good and comfortable she was with the sword.
Reylin had the same thoughts, but just for a little because he knew her, "You weren't fortunate enough to acquire the unique class?"
"Who knows? Even if I am the owner of a unique class, we are not on a level where we can summon grand skills. Sword battles usually end in just a few seconds. Fantasy is what will make this fight a little longer." Lioness chuckled while slashing across the air.
She chased Reylin fast, but he kept exerting more speed with each second as if the flames fueled his body. Of course, that was Reylin leveraging what he had acquired beforehand, and his speed masked his weakness.
He spread enough of his flames, and in an immediate rush, Reylin suddenly leaned forward, "Are we?"
As his flames became the proper mana bank, Reylin utilized his fire shield and recklessly threw himself at Lioness while wearing his usual, crazy smile.
Lioness was momentarily taken aback, but that lasted precisely one second. In response, she made a vertical slash that cut through Reylin's hand.
He caught her sword and let out the howling flame.
BOOM!
That would be the usual fireball punch, but since a thin blade was the only obstacle, Lioness barely got knocked back with flames touching her just a little.
But in that gap, Reylin conjured as many fireballs as he had with his short cooldown. His most used skill formed an army that charged straight into the strongest opponent!
Lioness didn't fail to cut even one, her reaction time and eyes as impressive as usual. She saw through every fireball, but the flames formed enough cover for Reylin to slither close enough to let out a kick!
With flames following each of his movements, it seemed like he brought out another skill onto the table.
Alas, that was just a regular kick.
Although boosted through many items on his body, the kick did more damage to Lioness's appearance rather than her HP Bar.
Her face got kicked, "Just because I am not red-haired. Really?" Lioness sneered and didn't let that kick get into her head.
Reylin sneered back, "Well. Red hair wouldn't suit you, but that is just my opinion, isn't it? Still, if you did that for me, I would have appreciated your effort and chose another vital point."
"You made me want to try some dyeing, Reylin. How about you let me use your blood? That would be fantasy-like dyeing; I wouldn't mind at all. Look how much your hand is bleeding," Lioness glanced at Reylin's hand.
He did the same, and the bleeding effect shocked Reylin, "I can't read that bleeding?"
"You have never seen it, nor am I in a position to explain its effects to you," Lioness taunted with both her smile and sword.
"Even though I was so benevolent to explain your little ploy to poor and naive men?" Reylin chuckled.
"This and that is different. Besides, you must have had your fun too. You talked for too long, sweetie."
Then seeing Reylin not moving, she closed up the distance.
Her swordsmanship adapted, but that much was expected. She had keen eyes for both battlefield and her duels.
Reylin didn't expect it to be that easy, but even as he used his flames, Lioness didn't let him distance for too long.
"The Red Sky." Only a deluge of flames could save Reylin from her oppressive sword!
As the flames covered him wholly, Reylin's body exploded with fire, and the red pillar made another appearance on the battlefield.
Its flames went through the sky and clouds!
In those flames, Reylin joined his hands, "Flamethrower!" He rode on his momentum, and the legendary flames spat the scarlet flamethrower!
Those flames were again cut through Lioness' slash, but her sword's durability heavily dropped this time!
"That skill is on another level, just as expected... If he casually threw himself into my guild members, then he would halve our numbers with just one use... A few more, and we would be done," Lioness spoke seriously, and she considered retreating.
Abandoning her sword was not an option since it was one of her best swords up to par with her level. Its durability was unscathed before the legendary skill had been used!
Thus, Lioness planned to use her body to take up some damage and free herself from the flames' spits.
However, the flamethrower suddenly stopped.
Reylin's legendary flames dropped and dispersed, leaving nothing behind. The pyromaniac was nowhere to be seen, and just the burned forest and its smell lingered around the white-haired player.
Lioness squinted her eyes, "Even you need some break, Reylin. The bleeding I've left on you will kill you if you don't regenerate enough mana."
"That's what I wanted you to believe in," Reylin's words rang from behind.
Before he uttered those, Reylin's hands were in motion, and he was ready to embrace the lady from behind.
In any scenario, he would have already won the battle.
Alas, Lioness' reaction time exceeded what Reylin had imagined before.
[-540 HP!]
[Fire Shield is active.]
[-540 MP!]
"You need consent if you want to take a lady from behind," Lioness jested while facing Reylin with her purple eyes.
