F/VoH Ch 35: The Fight to Prove Oneself 2
🕑 Added 2024-08-13 11:43:11 +0000 UTCWithout wasting any time, Reynold spun his body and launched a kick towards Charlotte. However, Charlotte nimbly dodged the attack, positioning herself with agility.
The failed attack prompted Reynold to quickly pull the wooden sword from the ground, then he jumped back to gain some space.
"... Hahaha...! Good! Very good! Come on! Try harder!" Reynold laughed widely, enjoying the escalating challenge.
Ryan wasted no time and immediately ran towards Reynold. In an unexpected move, Ryan jumped high, aiming his sword to try and stab Reynold.
Reynold reflexively dodged the attack with ease. However, unexpectedly for Reynold, something unforeseen happened... ice began to rapidly creep from Ryan's wooden sword, spreading towards Reynold's feet.
Reynold quickly jumped away, avoiding the ice trap. Ryan, without hesitation, stepped onto the floor that had frozen into ice, accelerating his movements until he vanished for a moment, only to reappear on Reynold's left side. Ryan swiftly swung his sword, attempting to slash Reynold on the left side... the side that Reynold could not use to block with his left hand.
Reynold realized the critical situation and narrowed his eyes, signaling the seriousness of what had just occurred. This fight had turned into more than just a battle to prove oneself... it had become a test of endurance and strategy.
Reynold quickly dodged Ryan's attack and immediately aimed his sword at Ryan's neck. However, Ryan, with sharp reflexes, tilted his head, avoiding the nearly fatal slash.
Reynold did not stop; he immediately tried to attack Ryan with his elbow, but Ryan had already predicted that move and blocked the attack with his sturdy hand.
At the same time, Charlotte appeared behind Reynold, her movements as swift as a shadow. Charlotte attempted to stab Reynold from behind, but Reynold reacted quickly, spinning agilely.
Unfortunately, Charlotte had already launched her attack, and her knife nearly reached Reynold. However, only Reynold's clothing was torn, indicating that Charlotte's attack had almost succeeded, but Reynold still stood tall, uninjured.
In a flash, Reynold tried to slash Charlotte's abdomen with the wooden sword, but Ryan quickly saw the opportunity and launched an attack towards Reynold's neck. Reynold quickly ducked his head, avoiding both attacks with nearly perfect timing.
Reynold then jumped back, keeping his distance from Ryan and Charlotte. As Ryan glanced at Charlotte, without words, Charlotte immediately understood Ryan's intent. They ran together, executing a coordinated attack that they had practiced many times.
Reynold, realizing the approaching threat, tried to create distance between himself and his two opponents.
However, Charlotte was already on Reynold's left side, attempting to slash Reynold's left hand with her knife in a very swift motion.
Reynold managed to dodge, but at the same time, Ryan was already beside him, swinging his sword with full force towards Reynold.
Reynold tried to kick Ryan to break his attack, but Ryan deftly evaded the kick, causing Reynold to lose his balance for a moment.
That small opportunity was immediately seized by Charlotte, who attacked Reynold once again. Reynold quickly ducked his head, avoiding attacks coming from all directions.
As Reynold tried to step back to catch his breath, Ryan gripped his sword tightly, and surprisingly, ten needle-like ice blades appeared in the air around him, hovering sharply, ready to strike.
Reynold was taken aback, his eyes widening as he stared at Ryan. Ryan's breath was starting to sound heavy, indicating that this intense fight was beginning to drain his energy.
Nevertheless, Ryan still radiated unwavering determination, with a sharp gaze showing that he still had strategies left.
Ryan advanced towards Reynold again, with his ice needles shooting quickly towards the target. Reynold, with extraordinary agility, dodged every ice needle that attacked him.
