Chapter 4: haste

I arrived at Amethy's place, she invited me to her room, we sat on her bed, I accidentally sat really close to her although I do want to sit close to her but it just happened it was somewhat awkward "so how are you", "I'm fine, I was just resting, I'll help in the front lines tommorow, so what brings you here, I don't think you came all the way here just to see how am I doing", "well I'm indeed worried about you but at the same time I need some favors", "what is it", "see this sword, I want you to cut it in half", "eh why?", "I need to talk to the Angel residing in it and yes I've tried to talk to it but it won't come out so we're gonna try this", "but even if we destroy this sword, it's not like the Angel residing in here will be in danger, at best they go back to their own reality...", "Yeah I know I just have a hunch this sword is important to it" and before we even try small lights gathered around to form and materialize into a girl, to be precise an Angel, a small girl with a round face, golden hair, snow pale skin, and a petite build body "don't even try, I'll kill you both with ease", "sure, sure, let's have a contract be my familiar", "what's in it for me", "I'm sure you already know the answer", "...", "I have a duel incoming, I want more arsenal and with you fighting along side me, it increases the chances of this sword not getting destroyed wouldn't it?", "It'll eventually be destroyed with more fights", "I'll keep reforging it, unlike you I have more freedom in this reality", "give me a day to think about it", "I'll give you 8 hours because that's the time remaining before my duel otherwise there's no point", "fine", she dematerialized into small lights and scatters but most of the light returned to the sword, "what a cute Angel", "she's indeed cute but you're cuter y'know", "eh", she blushes and look away, "so what's the other favor, you said favors, are there more than two...", "Nah just one more", "what is it then", "you", "me what", "I want you", "eeeh", "be my girl", "why me", "why you? Well I love strong girls", "um, I don't know what to say", "you don't have to say anything" I put my palm on her cheek as I kissed her soft lips and she kissed back >>[4.5]<<

Morning comes, I only slept four hours, I haven't done it for a while, we did it roughly 4 hours and it's her first time, had to make it special for her, I got up and put my clothes on, kiss her on her cheek, took my sword and left a note that I'm off to my duel, I arrived at the designated place, a specially designed arena, it's wide, about 5 stadium wide, it's clear in the middle but the corners are filled with obstacles, on one corner, it's full of buildings, on the opposite side is a forest, a desert, a sea, and a mountain. This arena was specifically made for duels and tournaments, so anyone can go all out here, it's an enclosed dimension rigged and encrypted with magic so everything goes back to normal once the duel is over, so basically it's okay to go for the kill, I see Chie on the other corner, she uses a Halberd, "so what's the deal", the Angel materialized, Angel? come to think of it I haven't ask her her name "what's your name?", "I'm Phase", "that's your name?", "Yeah, but of course it's translated from our language to the most popular language in your world, so what's our contract", "let's talk about that later, I need to win this duel no matter what but at the same time as much as possible I want to win using only my ability and this sword's ability so just in case I'm about to lose I want you to only join the fight if I'm about to lose and end the duel so tell me what this sword's ability is?", "Teleportation", "well that was generic", "in order to do so you need to scratch or slice a target then a stab motion and you and the sword will be teleported to the target stabbing the target at the same time in the middle of the scratch or sliced surface", "pretty neat, I'm surprised how my classmate who previously owned this still died with this ability", "he wasn't the real owner and just picked up this sword from the real owner" I unsheathed my sword, Chie and I looked at it each, I nodded, and as I made my stance she already was 8 meters away from me in a matter of second from her 45 meter distance where she stood and swung her halberd, I thought to myself "teleportation?" Doesn't matter, I knew she'd be fast despite being big, she swung from her right to counter my orthodox stance but I backflip smoothly to evade it as the halberd slip through Phase, she literally phased through it, she ignore Phase as she continues to swing her halberd, I ran backwards and as I keep scratching the ground with my sword at random interval, bunny hopping backwards to evade her swings, I wasted no time as I timed her swing to teleport behind her, she was shocked, I tried to slash her from behind but she ducked and before I could realize what happened I was pierced in my abdomen, she shoot something from behind under her left underarm as she turned around, I saw it, it's a harpoon, I didn't bother wondering what happened to her halberd and where the hell did she get or hid this weapon as I saw the harpoon change it shaped to form into a spear, she aimed at my chest and thrust her spear I enhanced my reflexes to it's limit, evade her spear as I rushed forward let go of my sword and went in for a flying knee to her face but instantly the spear changed again ignoring it's position covered her head as it turns into a helm but my flying knee still staggered her a few steps backwards, she wasted no time, the helm turned into an axe and immediately swung downwards, I evade and grabbed her arms and went for triangle choke, the axe immediately turned into knife as she started stabbing me in any area she can reach but it was too late, blood pours from everywhere, my neck, torso, head and left arm, as she slowly stops moving, I won somehow, not my style nor the outcome I desired but I'll take it, she's strong despite being only weapon blessed type
