[The Town of Beginnings] - [Floor 1] [DUEL START] [Skye] VS [Asteroth] In a flash, the battle had ended as quickly as it had begun. "Kyaa!!" Multiple girls were cheering audibly for the winner of the match - a young and especially dashing swordsman who instantly appeared behind his opponent, sheathing his sword as he sighed again. His opponent, a burly man in his forties, fell to the ground - his body suffering from many lacerations formed in the blink of an eye. [Skye:] 10,544/10,544 HP | [Asteroth:] 1/10,678 HP "Is that even humanly possible?" "He must be a cheater." A duel winner notification appeared between the young swordsman and the severely damaged man as the young swordsman brushed part of his flawless red hair to one side, his enchanting emerald eyes glinting slightly in the soft coruscation of the dimly illuminated town. [WINNER] [b][SKYE][/b] | Asteroth Time: 00:01 Unamused by the lapse of time he took to defeat such an opponent, and perhaps even bored, he yawned heartily as he walked past the disbelieving crowd. "Um.. uh.." Skye turned to face a blushing young woman who seemed to stutter whenever she spoke - much to the former's amusement. "The truth is... UMM- I wanted to thank you for sav-saving me earlier." Giggling slightly, Skye patted the woman's head. [b]"You don't need to thank me. Just being the one who saved you is enough for me."[/b] Smiling charmingly to her, the girl found herself blushing even more - and she subsequently ran away in embarrassment. [i]"Now that that's over with, perhaps I'll roam about the labyrinth for fun."[/i] he thought to himself, looking at the virtual sky with an undeniable irritation. [i]"This world... I'll definitely clear it."[/i] _________ [Labyrinth Level 2] - [Floor 1] Faint torches hung from decrepit walls, casting subtle light onto their surroundings to envelop them in a lighter tone. The pavements that lined the floors were of an array of all sorts of stone, sporadically placed in no specific order - though darkened shadows hid themselves at every other corner. Skye slowly drew his sword from its sheath as he walked down the hallway, a cerulean aura surrounding his blade in a striking luminescence. Peering from the corner of an intersection between hallways, he noticed an attractive black-haired woman fighting the Watcher of the Labyrinth alongside a black-haired man. The black-haired man's sword suddenly glowed with an eerie color as he glared at the creature, rising to face the monster with a fury of uncontrollable emotions. Skye dashed forward in an extraordinary burst of speed, slashing at multiple points on the insect as he appeared behind it in an instant. His multiple slashes were almost unable to be seen by the naked eye - it would have been clear to most that his speed was far above his level. Sheathing his sword, multiple lacerations formed across the giant insect as he turned to face the black-haired man. [b]"Calm down. Losing your cool won't do you any good - especially against Primg. I've damaged it somewhat, though it-."[/b] The handsome young swordsman was interrupted by a sudden extension of the insect's stinger that was aimed towards him, though he severed the stinger in a blindingly quick series of slashes - before vanishing and reappearing beside the young female. [b]"You see, you should disarm an opponent whom you know has a lethal weapon. If you do so, and if that is his only weapon, you should find him much easier to beat."[/b] He sheathed his sword once more, and smiled with an undeniable cheerful charm.
