Inside the room, the two stood facing each other, swords drawn. The invisible sword energy clashed, causing the air to become still, and a chilling aura gradually spread.
"This place is a bit small, and we still have a lot of the alchemy equipment we just bought. If we want to fight, let's go outside."
Despite the tense atmosphere, Kyal spoke up in this way.
He wasn't actually worried about the money; it was given to him for free by the Wang family, so he didn't care at all. He just didn't want to go back and buy it again.
“…”
Kreeher was speechless, but still nodded silently in agreement.
Kyal sheathed his sword, then flipped out of the window, sword in hand, and landed smoothly by using a technique to absorb the impact of the fall.
Kreeher chased after them in the same way, and the two of them ran and chased each other down the street, oblivious to everyone else.
Kyal ran into an empty alley, stopped, and turned around.
"Is this the battlefield you chose?"
【Sword Saint】Kreh, her cold expression indicated that she was already in a serious fighting state. Her sharp sword energy rose gradually with the action of drawing her sword, forming an invisible sword domain around her.
"I just randomly picked a deserted spot; it doesn't matter where I am."
The Healer, Kayal, drew his sword from its sheath with his right hand, then tossed the sheath aside. His eyes were filled with focused will, as if burning with fierce flames. As he assumed his stance, a chilling sword aura enveloped him, forming an invisible sword domain.
"This stance? Is this the Gretel family's swordsmanship? Where did you learn it?"
【Sword Saint】Kreh's eyes were solemn, and the stance that Kayal adopted was the starting position of her family's sword technique.
"As I just mentioned, everything the subject of my [Restore] was experienced was instantly and completely instilled into me, the caster, allowing me to understand the subject."
"The experiences I impart, besides pain, naturally include the memories, experiences, knowledge, and skills possessed by the subject. With a little effort, I can completely copy and imitate them. That's why I know alchemical magic, because I once healed an alchemist."
Kyal smiled slightly as he said this, his face full of confidence.
"Although my level and condition are not as good as yours, I have many skills that I have learned from others, which I believe can make up for much of the gap between us."
"Then let me give it a try!"
As soon as they finished speaking, their figures vanished into thin air.
"Ping! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. To onlookers, it was impossible to see the two men's movements clearly; all they could see were the afterimages and sparks left behind when they clashed.
Swords clashing – that's the sound of two people parrying each other's attacks. The sparks from the clash of steel blades represent extremely fast sword speeds. But it's not just about parrying and colliding; both Kyal and Kreeher instinctively dodge when they can avoid the attack with a simple evasive maneuver.
Although Kyal is only level 29, his movement speed has already gained the upper hand. After adjusting his talent value and shifting his attributes towards speed, his current speed status value is 101.
Kreeher's speed stat is only 103 at level 45, not to mention that Kyal also has a speed bonus from a high-speed movement technique called "Shrinking the Ground".
However, the Sword Saint class is not to be underestimated. Although both sides' Divine Sword and Insight are at Lv5, the Sword Saint's class skill further enhances the speed and power of the Divine Sword, and also increases the perception range and speed of Insight.
No matter how fast Kyal was moving, Kreh could use her sword to quickly intercept Kyal's slashes and still have the strength to counterattack.
Because her attack speed is far superior to Kyja's.
Kel's power was completely overwhelmed by Kreh. The speed and power of the ferocious slashes were simply too much for him to handle. He could only use some of the force-dissipating techniques from the martial arts he knew to neutralize the force. Otherwise, the moment the two swords touched, Kel's steel sword would have been cut in half, shattered, or bounced away.
Kreeher's swordsmanship was extremely elegant and swift, with incredible speed, precision, and ruthlessness. If it weren't for Kayal's ability to perceive the speed of the sword and his use of "Mirror of Still Water" to enhance his reaction and concentration, he would have been able to barely dodge or block it. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have been killed within two rounds by seizing an opening.
The battle lasted less than a few seconds, and Kyal figured out the next tactical strategy in the midst of the clash.
We cannot defeat them by force; we must outsmart them.
Kreeher unleashed a fierce horizontal slash at Kyal, who leaned back and used his footwork to quickly retreat a considerable distance to dodge it.
Kreeher, sword in hand, was ready to press her advantage. She leaned forward and quickly approached Kyal, the longsword gleaming coldly.
A faint blue light flashed on Kyal's left hand, which was not holding a sword.
Third-tier wind-based attack magic: Wind Blade
"call out!"
An invisible wind blade slashed into Kreeher's sword aura domain, which she quickly sensed and reacted to.
Wind magic? Does he know that too?
Kreeher stared at the wind blade, its aura and weaknesses clearly visible within the [Insight] domain formed by her sword energy. With agile movements, she wielded her longsword, the blade cutting through the wind as she head-on towards the wind blade's weaknesses.
A flash of silver light! The wind blade was cleaved in mid-air, and the sharp wind pressure it had gathered instantly dissipated into the air.
The wind blade was easily shattered, but it successfully drew Kreeher's attention.
"Gone?"
Kreh scanned his surroundings, but Kyal's figure had already disappeared from sight. Had he run away?
A sense of danger suddenly arose, and Kreeher instinctively looked up at the sky following the feeling.
A sharp longsword descended from the sky, its tip pointed directly at her, hurtling towards her at lightning speed. Kreeher's sharp eyes could see the tiny sparks flashing on the sword.
Don't take it head-on! In a split second, Kresh quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the blade that was flying towards her at lightning speed.
However, upon contact with the ground, the lightning-streaked blade plunged directly into the paving stone, and the electric light on the blade standing upright on the ground surged. Tiny currents formed an electric field covering an area of several meters, enveloping Kresh as well.
"Zzzzzzz!!"
The electric shocks struck repeatedly, and Kresh felt her body become paralyzed by the currents.
The lightning stopped flashing in the air after it was completely dissipated, but the paralyzing effect on Kresh still lingered. Before she could react, she felt her head being pressed down from behind.
"It's a checkmate, Kreeher."
[Heal Improvement]
A soft laugh came from behind her. Then, accompanied by a green light, a large amount of memories and information flooded into Kreeh's brain. Kreeh lost consciousness in the endless onslaught of information.
