And so they fought in a frenzy each party trying to beat the other. Lunetta kept her moon up, trying to prevent him from overwhelming her. He didn't seem to have an passive skills, but he did have one that made her felt pretty threatened.

[Thunder Patter] streaked through the sky from Daniel's blade, it tore into her flesh burning, electrocuting and cutting. Next thing she knew he had a golden shield up and had bashed her in the chest sending her flying.

[Thunder Patter] followed and she was sent into the earth, like a meteor crashing into a valley of tranquility. There wasn't much of a difference between the two impacts and she felt her bones rattle, her health was rapidly deteriorating, she then saw a golden horse appear below him, his sword and shield ready, he was starting to ride towards her.

Her health was at 10% at this point, he had thoroughly thrashed her due to his higher tier clash and active ability advantage so far. When he nears her she uses a full power [Moonlit Slash] a burst of power from her Moon Affinity comes through and only somewhat counters the effect, she was still sent sprawling in the dirt.

"Give up, we can make this quite painless. It would be a shame if I killed you and some guy came over while I'm weak and defenseless" Thick golden armor had appeared on him, he seems to be getting stronger as the fight went on. Lunetta on the other hand was ready to make her last stand. Her vision had gotten red and she felt a familiar power run through her veins.

With a leap she threw herself at him with feral ferocity.

Corey is in a fight with a woman, a heavily armed tank. It felt like he was going to die from frustration. He had eventually discarded his older heavy and shit armor. Now he has to deal with this extreme counter.

He slashes out with [Galelight Flurry] the woman stands and accepts the blows on her armor before giving him a roundhouse kick in the side. She had a sword, but it was a bit slow compared to her movements. But it didn't hurt any less. Her chains also hurt like hell.

Corey was sent into a mountain bouncing off the rock wall. He looked at the woman with fury, her name is Janice she has the Warden class. Wardens typically refer to prison Wardens, in combat they are adept at shutting down enemies by either making their attacks useless, costing their enemies fatigue or by returning all the pain they would have to take.

Stolen story; please report.

He felt that last bit, it was like an abusive cousin. It occasionally comes over and regularly beats you up. His sword impacted her sloped armor simply slipping off, she simply pushes his arm away from her, and with a step to the side gives him another good kick in the ribs.

He felt like he was going to die soon, either from this insufferable frustration, or from the vast amounts of internal damage he has been taking. He turns to look behind him, deciding to take a big risk he used [Galelight Crash] This finally sends the woman away, he then turned around and ran.

He felt a knife hit something near his crotch. Not looking down he kept running. Whether it was her dreadful kicks, her chains or her ominously large sword.

Janice looks at Corey with a smug smile. This little egotistical bastard had taunted everyone and now he was paying his dues. She made sure to give him a few kicks in the ribs to tenderize that evil heart of his. Her open palm pointed towards him and a dark metallic chained appeared, she used it like a whip making him lose his balance a few times.

Every time he tried to dodge to the side her chain was there ready to embrace him. And embrace him it did, dark marks and blood ran down his arm. She made sure he didn't lose concentration of her legs by giving a few well placed roundhouses in the ribcage.

It was a kind of balance, but she wanted him to be distracted by the most painful, but the least harmful threat. When he was looking at her legs she yelled at him, "Like what you see?" and gave him a hard punch in the face sending him crashing into the earth, she noticed him taking a few glances behind him.

Then succeeding all her expectations he ran from her. "If you want to run, you'll have to pay the price" She aims a dagger at his back and threw it. But since she wasn't really a ranged user, a dagger to the heart turned into an involuntary dagger in the ass. This caused her to laugh hysterically.

"Keep my blade company for me, I'll have some more fun with you later mister chicken!" She turned around and went back to her campsite. To think that he had accosted her demanding her weapons and gear.

With the power of the wolf god she took him down.

Her sword crashed into his, sending sparks flying. David thought that this was her last hope, her last attempt at survival in the competition, and her last hold on the rewards. He was going to win after all, he was a few levels up after all.

It would only make sense. He caught her sword, and thought that he would just stretch his muscles, but something odd happened. Her [Moonlit Slash] had overpowered him so much and so quickly that his muscles gave in. It felt like the little fibers in his arms tore as he was thrown from his skill.

Lunetta then ran to him, ducking and rolling when he sent a dagger her way. All he needs is that one cut and it's over. He never got the chance since she had thrown her sword at him. He hadn't paid attention to his health bar enough to know that all he needed was that little cut as well.

He let the blade hit him and cut his shoulder, expecting everything to be fine when he saw the world darken and himself vanishing. He had been played for a fool.
