A large hunting sword and a pair of swords clash with each other.
Making a clanging sound, they both ponder how to go for the next strike.
The battle between the enemies was impressive, as both sides were evenly matched in strength.
Karna uses her skills to increase her speed and decrease her opponent’s speed.
Although this seems like an advantageous skill at first glance, Maria possesses a skill that can dispel debuff magic, which keeps the battle in a stalemate.
Maria pushes the hunting sword forward, and Karna notices and steps back.
Of course, she was raising her own speed, so she will never be caught by any counterattack.
After quickly retreating, she attacks again by kicking the ground.
Swoosh
“[Fang Thrust].”
Maria takes a hazy stance and calls out a thrust skill.
The thrust attack flew straight and grazed Karna.
However, without changing her speed, Karna swings her double swords down at Maria.
It was a light attack.
However, the swing was dangerous, still full of killing intent, making Maria’s skin shivers every time she received it.
It’s been a while since she fought in such a tense situation.
Pushing away the double swords, now it’s Maria’s turn to step back.
“…Haa. I didn’t want to use this because it’s tiring…”
“…”
If the battle drags on, it will interfere with the plan.
Although it’s no longer something that can be called a plan… she left that aside.
Maria closes her eyes and claps her hands in a strange rhythm.
Pa-pam-pam-pa, pa-nn, pa-nn-pa-pam-nn.
She opens one eye to check her surroundings.
The opponent is still right in front of her.
She opens the other eye.
Three seconds later, the opponent seems to launch an attack from above.
Maria’s eye color changed.
One eye remains black, but the other has turned white.
“[Yoichi].” (Foresight)
Swishhhh
Exactly three seconds later, Karna decided to attack from above.
Maria had completely anticipated it and evaded it by half step to side.
After that, she kicked Karna and retreated once again to keep her distance.
“Uh…”
“Mmhm, I think I’m getting used to it.”
Now it’s time to attack from Maria’s side. While keeping one hand on herself.
“[Slowly].”
“[Magic Fog].”
The moment her speed was reduced, it was immediately discarded. Her weapon was held with both hands, swinging in a circle was performed to generate centrifugal force.
Maria’s attack was blocked by Karna’s weapon, but Maria’s automatic skill finally activated.
Kerchaaaang!!
The twin swords were smashed to pieces.
Even though Karna had received attacks from large weapons such as the hunting sword, she was an assassin and had some experience with handling weapons with any condition. So she thought the weapon wouldn’t be destroyed by the attack just now.
Normally, the weapon would not have been destroyed, but Maria’s automatic skill, weapon arms destruction, did not allow it.
It was a skill that did not activate easily, but once it did, the battle would tilt heavily in her favor.
“Phew, finally it came out.”
“Huh!?”
“Don’t underestimate the Guildmaster.”
Maria immediately launched a counterattack. She swung the hunting sword from a high position to strike down, cutting through Karna’s body, and bringing an end to the fight.
