-Order of Light Arena-

Elou faded from the night's darkness and we were all shocked that he disappeared really fast. For me, I need to use my darkness to reduce enemies' vision but Elou's skill was really different and more effective for self usage.

"Where did he go? We just saw Elou earlier but he disappeared! Participants really surprise us every match! Stay focused and watch the fight guys!" Aika is excited as usual.

"You might not see him but a veteran player like me can still feel his presence. It's just a matter of experience." The old geezer bragged about being an old geezer.

Panthie was also surprised by what happened. Even the panther's sensing abilities didn't help it to find Elou. It was a complete stealth technique!

*SWOOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!* Multiple arrows flew towards Panthie! It was a surprise attack from Elou!

She evaded the arrows in time with her swift movements. Her agility is really high too that even with Elou's high accuracy, she evaded it all.

"NIGHT VISION!" Panthie used one of her sensory techniques. That's a skill that enhances the caster's vision when fighting at night or in dark places.

(TRACKING MASTERY: As a hunter and a tamer, tracking mastery is one of the mastery they prefer to easily track their preys down for killing for materials or taming purposes. Higher rank of this mastery can track even invisible monsters or players.)

For some reason, she still can't find Elou! This is really weird. We can't even hear footsteps from the arena. It feels like Panthie is the only one on it.

"KEEN SENSE OF SMELL!" This time, because night vision can't help her, she decided to use a move that enhances one's sense of smell. Though she was surprised!

"ARROW RAIN!" It was Elou. He shot multiple flying arrows towards Panthie!

He can't be seen because he was in mid-air for a while. He jumped after using the stealth cloak and hid behind Panthie's vision range but the sound of a flying arrow triggered her evasive instincts.

The arrow rain flew like they were shot by a dozen archers! Elou's archery mastery is really good to be able to shot that kind and amount of arrows in just a couple of seconds.

"BACKTRACK!" Panthie for an instant dodge backward in fast succession, not a single one of the arrows even touched her. Her evasive maneuver and agility save her a lot by quickly backing off.

"You really are good. It seems simple tricks won't defeat you. You might be beautiful and my type but I need to win this match. My team believes in me. FALCON'S ENHANCED EYE!" It's Elou's skill that greatly improves his dexterity making his accuracy and critical rate increase significantly for a short period of time.

"PENETRATING ARROW!" Elou used a skill that ignores a portion of target's defense! If it hits her, that could deal so much damage!

*ZWOOOSH!* The sound of the flying arrow this time caught our attention. This time, it's even faster.

*CLAAAAK!* Panthie tried to evade the attack but it was really fast! She managed to get away with it with a scratch on her shoulder, better a scratch than missing.

*ROOOOOAR!* Her panther charges towards Elou the moment he appeared from hiding.

*SPREAD SHOT!* Is that a new move?! Elou shot arrows in a cone's direction! It was also fast and multiple arrows flew towards the panther!

*Whimpers...* The panther tried to avoid but Elou's attack was really fast and almost unavoidable. The panther died and turned into soul after dying and absorbed by Panthie.

Panthie's face looks really pissed. She seems to be holding back a bit but realized that Elou's a worthy opponent that she can't just play safe in a distance. From her previous fights, she just made her panther defeat her foes and she supports it with her arrows but now will be different.

"SWIFT SHOTS!" Panthie decided to attack Elou this time and shot multiple fast arrows towards Elou.

*SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!* The arrows missed her target! Elou may look like that but his evasion is also high, thanks to our training.

After he evaded the attack, he checked Panthie this time but she disappeared too! The Swift Shots were just a diversion!

"LETHAL FANG!" Panthie appeared from above and lashed out a powerful attack using both of her daggers.

(WARNING: A party member is afflicted with "Bleeding" effect.)

Elou was surprised by the attack that he used his arm guard to stop the attack but the attack was really powerful that it pierced his arm guard! He got a minor injury to his arm that caused his bleeding! The attack is not yet finished though!

"VISCIOUS FANG!" Panthie once again attacked Elou after she landed the first hit. The attack was another forceful dagger stab technique. But Elou isn't that dumb to make the same mistake.

"BACKTRACK!" Elou copied Panthie's evasive maneuver! He got away from Panthie's range. As an archer, backtrack is really a good skill to use.

"People of New Life Online! The fight between Elou and Panthie is really intense! Both of them almost have the same abilities and fighting style but how do we know if who will win the match?!" Aika also is a bit curious to know who will win the match. We all are.

"SNIPE SHOT!" Elou shot another arrow but because of Falcon's enhanced eye, It was more powerful and hard to avoid!

"SNIPE SHOT!" What the?! Panthie also used the same move! Their arrows collided and fling to the other directions!

Elou should change his tactics or this match will end before sunrise and be postponed though, it's unlikely. He's bleeding I could tell.

"Ugh... This really sucks. WIND ENHANCEMENT! WIND ARROW!" Elou used again a new skill. This time it looks like his arrow has some sort of wind elemental properties!

(WIND MASTERY: Wind mastery gives the user the ability to use wind spells and use the power of the wind to either support the player or used to attack enemies. Unlike other spells, wind mastery is the best for assassins as the wind cannot be seen.)

*SWOOOSH! WOOOOOSH!* Panthie evaded it good but the wind pressure of the attack made her startled a bit.

"Now's my chance! TWIRLING BLADE!" He drew his two short blades and decided to use it as his weapon now. He successfully hit Panthie with his fast powerful attack! This time, her right leg got a minor injury and it will decrease her movement speed!

He once again prepared to use another skill as a part of his combo... how come he doesn't show me this kind of techniques when we were training! He must be hiding this skills as a last resort if by any chance we can meet in the arena...

"STAGGERING BLADE!" He tried hitting Panthie and succeeded! It was like Zeth's technique but weaker because Elou only uses short blades which is faster but also deals less damage.

This time before he hit Panthie, She tried to parry it with her dagger but the effect of the staggering blade is to make her enemies' defense weaker and a mild knockback and that's the reason now why Panthie is on a tight spot!

If Panthie won't do anything right now, she will lose really badly.

"WIND TWIRLING BLADE!" He is aiming for Panthie's heart to end the match!

"The Blonde Robinhood is aiming for a girl's heart! Will he get her!?" Aika, that sounds cheesy...
