242 Blinding the Blind (2/2)
*BAAAAM!* The threads were suddenly cut off because of the force!
”That armor is tough! My threads can't even slice them off,” He said really amazed. Though my armor shows cuts and slices all over. Unfortunately, if I want to recreate m armor, it would take a lot of mana...
He changed his fighting stance. I can tell that it's not the same ones he usually does. He's holding his sword with both his hands. Is he planning to charge straight ahead and defeat me with brute force?
”We may be facing a big problem right now but don't forget that there's a brighter side for every darkness. SILVER LININGS!” After saying that, he charged at me fast enough that my reaction was too late!
*BAAAAAAM!* Huh?! A sudden slash came out of nowhere from the side! It destroyed my arm guard! He's faster than before! There's no time to retaliate!
*BAAAAAAM!* Another side slashes from behind! It almost tore my body armor! Then a sudden slash to the back of my leg! He moved so fast that my body's not reacting on time!
”ZOFIA'S SHIELD OF BULWARK!” Wait! Where is he?! I looked in front but he's not there!
*BAAAAAM!* Huh! He used a powerful slash on top of my head but Zofie was able to make a shield in time! It broke but I was able to get away before it hits me! That was close!
*CLANG!* He appeared in front of me and as soon as he appeared, he's not looking! I can't tell where his attack will come from! He slashed from below and his sword hit both my daggers which I tried to use to block his attack! My daggers flung away! There's not enough time to recreate my weapon!
*SWOOOOSH!* I did my best trying to back away! He missed the attack but out of nowhere, he appeared from my side and then...
”How?!” He muttered as he realized that I stopped his sword by holding the blade. He's aiming to stab me in the chest. My glove wasn't tough enough to protect my hand from getting sliced but I risked. My hand is severely injured that my fingers and palm are almost sliced off but it helped me survived from getting stabbed to death.
Blood drips from my hand and from my back. Am I really going to lose here after all that I did for everyone? Am I going to be left alone because I chose the thing that I think is right?
Ugh! He swiftly pulled the sword back and then once again preparing to make another move. Then I tried to look at him closely and not let him escape from my sight. I did my best to concentrate and give it all but...
*BAAAAAAM!* What?! I suddenly felt his presence from the side and out of panic, I raised my arm with arm guard to defend! My arm was devastated but I guess it's sturdy enough to not make my arm get cut off.
”Chara, let's stop this madness. I don't want to hurt you anymore. Let me give you a quick death.” He said... I know that what he's doing right now is hard for him to do but if he has the reason to kill me, then I have a reason to defend myself even if I have to go through all of this.
Huh? Then somehow, a light reflected from my armor and I don't know where it came from. I checked it out and then I saw my armor... it has markings from his previous silver threads attack. All the markings are connected to the wounds I have and the target of his attacks! He's not mindlessly attacking me but it has a pattern. Now... it's up for me to guess where his next target.
”Show me all you've got, Jay. I will show you that I am not to be underestimated.” I said and created a dagger. My left arm and left hands are kinda messed up now so my right arm is the only working one.
”You asked for it, then I will give it to you!” As I expected, he disappeared from my sight and just left a light.
*CLANG!* In just a moment, I already realized where he will show up. I blocked his attack using my dagger. His attack was powerful enough to push me back and I did my best not to fall.
”Your perception is really good. I know that you will figure it out sooner but knowing where my attacks would come from would not make you win this fight.” He's pretty right but giving up is not one of my abilities.
”Are you sure about that?” Then he suddenly realized that he's bleeding already.
”Ugh... when did you...” He said while pulling the dagger from the side of his body. After blocking his attack, I threw the dagger to his body when I was being pushed back. Taking advantage of the situation is one of my specialty after all.
”Now, let's see if I'm still the one who's on the losing side,” I said and just smiled at him. Even if I have to use a thousand daggers to kill him, I will.
