52 Battle of the Reapers (1/2)

-Aries Home-

I reached home and it's already dark. I went inside and it seems that they haven't still taken their dinner yet. I prepared a good meal for us. I called them and took our dinner.

Ugh... I'm really exhausted. My body is not used to long travels. I should probably do some exercises when I have the time. As soon as I finished doing what I have to do, I entered the game.

-Near Crystal Cave-

Ugh... it's so cold. I forgot that the temperature is different from the real world. It's really hard to get used to this kind of climate. Hmmm...

*CLANG! SLASH! CLANG!* I heard sword slashes not far from here. It sounds like a familiar type of swordsmanship. I have a clue but still not sure.

I slowly checked the area and dead wolves and raw blood can be seen everywhere. I knew it. She's the only one who hates these wolves.

”AWOOOOH!” Wolves surrounded her and in an instant but she managed to kill every single one of them with her mysterious kind of sword style techniques.

*SWOOSH!* Ugh! A dagger flew aiming for my head. She attacked me out of nowhere. I somehow managed to dodge it, it was a surprise attack from her. Why did she attack me? What the heck?!

I am really far from her but she managed to detect where I was and not only that, she also attacked me in a blink of an eye. If it wasn't for my instincts, a dagger would be sticking through my skull by now.

”Hey hey... wait a minute there. I'm not here to fight. I am just checking what is happening around here,” I answered but...

”...” She didn't answer. She readied her fighting stance and lashed out a powerful slash wave.

There's no way I can defend from a powerful attack like that! Even my shield can't handle that kind of power.

”Shade! Help me!” I asked shade to help me out.

*SWOOSH!* Her attack just passed right through my body. The shade used his passive that enables me to ignore physical attacks. Her attack cut trees behind me like they were nothing. Damn, that was one scary attack.

”You want to fight huh. DARKNESS!” I used one of my spell that hinders her sight.

”DARK FLAME SLASH!” I aimed for her body trying to inflict a server injury so she won't have the chance to counter back.

*BAAAM!* Ugh! She parried my attack and my spell created an explosion. After that, I looked at her and she only received a minor injury on her shoulder. She's one tough opponent. A normal player would be already unconscious from that attack.

”I think we should stop this fight,” I said while not lowering my guard. It's bad if she uses one of her techniques again. My voice triggered her senses and decided to attack again.

*SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!* Three consecutive waves flew in my direction! Damn. Her accuracy is really great making her attacks so hard to avoid. But because she can't see me and her attacks were just random, I managed to avoid all of it. This needs to stop!

”TITAN'S DARK EXPLOSION!” I readied my powerful attack to end the fight but...
