Twilight Aftermath: Kingdom ( Twiath: I )

Chapter 8: Luminescent

Tyson charges at me like an unstoppable beast, and I am preparing to tame it-

[ Come at me, flaming bull! ]

The sound of our swords destroying each other tickles the grass-

He's attacking me with two flaming swords simultaneously

While I am constantly moving my eyes to predict the path of the sword, and with my speed-

I deflect each of them with just my light sword

We slowly move from one place to another while exchanging blows, but he just won't.. budge-

[ Where does all.. ]

As we continue-

[ of his stamina.. ]

Exchanging blows-

[ Came from? Not to mention.. ]

I am slowly-

[ The heat from his aura.. ]

Approaching my limit

[ Is slowly draining me.. ]

He shows no sign of fatigue despite us exchanging blows for almost what I could feel half an hour

But during those times, I couldn't find a single opening

It was a bad decision to try and defend directly against him, so-

[ I need to distance.. myself ]

But-

[ I can't find an opportunity.. ]

The slashes between his swords have little to no interval, and I need at least half a second to teleport and/or run, but he, even if it's already almost half an hour, there's no change at the speed of his slashes.

And that's when I realized-

[ His right hand is injured and yet- ]

As the sound of our swords clashing against each other-

[ No wait, it must've affected it at least in a little way.. ]

Conquer our ears-

[ I'll take advantage of that! ]

As soon as I deflect his left sword, I gather all strength in my hands to slash the sword on his right hand away from him but, he didn't move his right hand-

[ Ah crap, my attention got focused on one place- ]

I look to the left side and see his left sword already on its way to slash half of my face off-

With everything I got, I pull myself back, but his sword-

Even if it's just the tip

Even if it didn't hurt

It manages to touch my left eye

And.. makes it.. burn

I fall onto the grass and scream in pain while covering my left eye

Even if the tip of his sword only touched my eye, it burns like hell

I drop my sword and cover my burning left eye with two hands, screaming-

[ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts ]

And yelling while my body shakes on its own

[ Letting go of your sword and your whole guard at this moment, you're quite reckless, aren't you? ]
