As promised, Ranger set out to claim the Evil Eyes. Sparks flew from the Lipanthyer's Fang as it narrowly deflected a sickle, the weapon's lethal blade reflected in Daisuke's eyes.

Dammit! Daisuke snarled, his 99 points in Strength failing miserably at competing with the man's whopping 208. He's freely able to jump from one shadow to the next? Talk about a cheat skill!

Daisuke stumbled forward when Ranger's weapon disappeared. By the time he was able to regain his balance, the man appeared behind him, silently resurfacing from his shadow.

SLASH!

The sickle traced a vertical arc, carving a long, bloody line along Daisuke's back. He cried out in agony but quickly clenched his teeth, sifting through the pain to regain his focus.

WHOSH! SWISH! CLANG! BOOM!

Activating the Dash skill, Daisuke and Ranger became blurs of motion, their forms flickering in and out of visibility. Each time they momentarily solidified, bright sparks erupted from their clashing weapons, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake—a deep crevice in the wall, a vase shattering, fixtures and furnishings reduced to debris.

But Daisuke's measly 186 points in Agility could hardly hold a candle to Ranger's 276. With a pained grunt, he raised his dagger defensively and crossed his forearms as the shinobi swept past him like a cyclone, inflicting several deep gashes on his body.

Daisuke glanced up as the man made another pass, his golden pupils darting around with unnerving speed. While he could track the shinobi's movements with the Eye of Verity and sense his presence thanks to Sixth Sense, his body struggled to keep up.

Blood splattered in jagged arcs across the floor as Ranger methodically sliced away at the insignificant insect who dared to meddle in his plans. Desperate, Daisuke activated the Dash skill again, praying for the 10% chance of triggering Haste, but luck wasn't on his side.

Bouncing off the walls like a coiled spring, Daisuke finally caught the elusive shinobi in a free fall. He sneered at the bastard as he launched himself from the ceiling, aiming to cleave the man in two. But before the Lipanthyer's Fang could savor fresh blood, its prey suddenly vanished into thin air.

Daisuke's eyes widened in dismay as the airborne shinobi, once vulnerable, resurfaced from the shadow being cast on the ground, his weapons poised to strike.
