F/VoH Ch 36: The Fight to Prove Oneself 3
🕑 Added 2024-08-17 12:20:51 +0000 UTCHowever, the ice needles were too fragile... they shattered instantly upon colliding with Reynold's wooden sword, hitting the floor, or even when deflected by Reynold's hand.
In one swift motion, Ryan swung his sword to slash at Reynold's back. However, Reynold, who was already accustomed to Ryan's attack speed, spun around and blocked the strike with his wooden sword.
What Reynold did not anticipate was the effect of Ryan's sword touch... In an instant, Reynold's wooden sword began to freeze, and ice rapidly spread, freezing Reynold's wrist.
Realizing the dangerous situation, Charlotte did not waste the opportunity. She quickly approached Reynold from behind, swinging her knife with precision to attack Reynold's back.
Reynold, feeling trapped between the two attacks, knew he had to act quickly.
However, Reynold was not someone who easily gave up. With all his strength, Reynold kicked Ryan in the stomach, sending Ryan flying backward. Ryan's body slammed hard against the wall, and his vision instantly went dark... Ryan lost consciousness.
On the other hand, Reynold managed to fend off Charlotte's knife attack using the now-frozen wooden sword.
Charlotte tried to counterattack, but Reynold had already anticipated her move and immediately struck back. Charlotte, with sharp reflexes, jumped back to avoid the attack.
Reynold did not give Charlotte a chance to breathe. He continued to pursue her, pressuring every movement she made.
Charlotte, feeling cornered, exerted all her effort to fight back, but Reynold was able to dodge and block every attack with perfect skill.
At one point, Charlotte fell and found herself in a difficult position. After successfully evading Reynold's attack, Charlotte was on the ground, trapped in a vulnerable position.
Reynold saw this as a golden opportunity and immediately swung his still-frozen sword downwards, aiming for Charlotte.
However, with incredible agility, Charlotte rolled on the ground and avoided the slash, only to be hit by a hard kick from Reynold that sent her flying far away.
Meanwhile, Ryan began to regain consciousness. With his awareness returning, Ryan saw the critical situation before him. Without a second thought, Ryan dashed towards Reynold.
In an instant, Ryan froze Reynold's feet, trapping him in place. Ryan saw this as the perfect opportunity and immediately swung his sword towards Reynold's abdomen.
However, Reynold demonstrated why he was considered invincible. In one explosive movement, the ice freezing his legs shattered into small fragments. Reynold dodged Ryan's attack with a quick motion, causing Ryan to strike only empty air.
Ryan spun quickly, swinging his sword again with the intent to slash Reynold. However, Reynold, who was already prepared, deftly raised his sword to block the attack. The clash of their weapons produced a loud thud, and the force of the impact pushed both of them back a few steps, forcing them to regain their balance.
Without giving Reynold a chance to breathe, Ryan charged again. This time, Ryan aimed for Reynold's shoulder with a quick diagonal slash.
Reynold, with his sharp reflexes, easily dodged the attack. But it was merely a trap. As Reynold evaded, Ryan skillfully spun and delivered a kick towards Reynold.
Reynold tried to dodge, but it was too late. The hard kick struck his shoulder, causing him to stagger back. Nevertheless, Reynold still stood tall, not completely losing his balance.
Seeing an opportunity, Ryan did not want to waste the moment. Agilely, Ryan jumped into the air, his body spinning, and his sword gliding down in a slashing motion from above.
Reynold, with his combat experience, dodged the attack at the last second, jumping back just as Ryan's sword slash nearly grazed his abdomen. Ryan, now losing momentum, fell and was slightly pushed away.
Meanwhile, Charlotte did not remain idle. As if merging with the shadows, Charlotte moved quickly, appearing silently behind Reynold.
