75 The Battle (1/2)
Without waiting for the head's signal, Vindre launched his chakrams to the left and right aiming at the three of them. This direct assault was just Vindre's way to gauge his opponent agility.
*swoosh
Without a single doubt on the crowd's mind, Biane and Clemora easily dodged the incoming attack. Riku, however, chose to run forward between the chakrams and initiated an attack.
(If you got an opportunity to attack, attack! Don't waste any single opportunity you have!) Ryona's teaching echoed in Riku's mind. Her steps were like a shadow, fast and traceless. Along with his unsheathed sword, she used the Mist Edge art to amplify the strike she was about to blow.
*clank
Her eyes were wide open as she saw what's happening right in front of her. Her sword was met with a third chakram which Vindre retrieved from his spatial ring. She noticed that his fingers were dancing like he was playing a tune on a piano.
”Look out!” warned Biane as she slashed her greatsword to deflect the other two chakrams that aimed at Riku's back.
After both of them jumped to a safe distance, a sudden gust of wind hit Vindre's face as a cry of Phoenix was heard behind him.
*boom
A loud bang reverberated inside the arena. Vindre was quick enough to turn his back and block the dangerous attack with the third chakram. But her amazing feat was only met with a graceful smile from Clemora.
*swoosh
Those familiar slashes appeared once more as they headed toward Vindre with amazing speed from behind. However, with a flick of his finger, the other two chakrams suddenly threw itself onto the slashes.
Clemora immediately retreated to a safe distance on the corner of the ring. Somehow Clemora's positioning made Vindre's spot exactly in the middle of a triangle with Biane and Riku on the other points.
The crowd almost forgot to breathe as they saw the intensity of the battle, even the dust couldn't make them blink.
”Look! The ladies actually had the upper hand in this battle!” said an excited onlooker.
”Well, it still the start and we still don't see Vindre in full power yet,” said a calm observant.
Although being in the center of their strategy was disadvantageous, he didn't get nervous at all. His breathing was still normal even after those heart-stealing attack.
”Hubby, what do you think the ladies will do?” said Ryona while combing Lyon's hair.
”I don't know, I never knew how girls think at all,” said Lyon.
”Just your guess is fine.”
”Alright then,”
”First of all, since they knew Vindre could pull a third chakram means that they have to think that he has more and could control it too. The questions that popped in their mind would be how many chakrams can Vindre control?”
”The way to do that was by attacking his openings since they got an advantage in numbers, a pincher attack was the best way,”
”But why would they want to make Vindre pulled out more chakrams? Isn't the less chakram the better?” asked Jugen as he was intrigued by his big brother's analysis.
