[First Round. Caliber's Turn]

Caliber would be the first to make a move. With such speed, he would run straight toward the White Reaper and would repeatedly stab his sword right at him. The White Reaper, going at an even impressive speed, would jerk his body all around to avoid the stabs. 

"Haaaa!" Caliber would yell out as he fiercely tries to attack faster, wanting to at least land some hits on him. The White Reaper was nothing short of impressed considering the Champion was using the sword and shield style of combat. It was starting to get too much for him and the White Reaper would have to resort using his weapon to block most of the attacks. The strength in the attacks was strong and the sword would be pushed back against his body and be a make-shift chest plate as Caliber focuses all his stabs directly at him. 

The stabs would enough to blow the White Reaper back a few steps from the attacks, but other than that, the attacks only harmed him by a bit. But it still made Yasuline tense up where she stood.

[Caliber uses Sword Skill Rapid Jab. Blocked. Minimum Damage.]

Sensing the amount of strength Caliber would use within his attacks, the White Reaper knew better than to hold back. Still, he continued on with his handicap as he unsheathes the training sword that Yasuline lets him use and begins to use one of the sword skills to even the playing field. 

He would run at the Champion with one hand outward while keeping the other which he was holding the sword near his body. For a split second, Caliber's eyes would be tricked into looking at his outstretched arm. And in that moment, he would crouch down. Caliber overly reacts by preparing to shield his body with his sword for a stab, just like he did to him. But that was not his intention. With the small glow on the blade, the White Reaper would leap from the ground, with the sword outward and hitting his sword from the bottom. The angle was not what he was anticipating and he felt the sword nearly being knocked out of his grip. The White Reaper would leap high up in the air thanks to the skill he activated. 

Caliber tightly grips the handle of his blade. 'What a cheap trick!' he would think as he recovers from the blow and returns to his attention to the midair foe. But that was when he realized that the White Reaper was a skillful opponent. 

In the midst of Caliber recollecting himself, the White Reaper activated another sword skill. Another glow would appear and the White Reaper would suddenly fall down as fast as he ran right at him before. Caliber barely reacted in time, but thanks to his years of training and practice against the King himself, he was able to protect himself with the shield he wields with his other arm.

The White Reaper's strike would land right on the shield, he could feel the kinetic energy moving from the sword, and through his arms to his shoulders, he would push himself off the shield and jumps back to give him some distance between himself and his opponent. The attack seemed to have affected the Champion as well as he stuttered and shake through his whole body before returning to his battle stance.

The shield rang upon the impact of the attack. It was quite strong that even Yasuline had to cover her ears from it. The sounds coming from the library door got loud too as the ringing only agitated them further. Thankfully, the doors didn't seem to be moving at all, a sign that the furniture that the White Reaper pulled in front of the door was still preventing them from moving. 

[Skill Combo Record: 2. The White Reaper's Turn Ends. First Round Ends. Second Round Begins.]

Caliber could still feel the vibration from the shield on his arm, it irritated him. To think the world-famous criminal would cause some form of damage to the king's shield. He COULD fight dirty and do some tricks to lower his guard, but the Champion has his reputation and honor to protect alongside the royal family. Not to mention that the princess was watching and if he wanted to keep whatever image he has on her, he can't be doing that kind of thing here. He would perform some standard swings with his sword to get the White Reaper moving about the way he wants him to. Near the middle of the simple barrage of attacks, he would then raise his other arm with the shield to bash his body from the side with it. His movement shifted back from the hit and directly at one of the weak sword swings he did. For some reason, he could hear the princess yell out. "No!" during the strike. Likely freaking out at the blood that came out. 

But he didn't see anything that resembled blood. When the blade cut through his body, blue flames would go through the cut, and small drops of blue flame would fall onto the ground and disappear after a few seconds.

The White Reaper could sense that the Champion had superior strength to him. He could feel his bones rumbling during every attack he had dealt on him. If he plans on defeating him or more, he would need to be more cautious. Reaching into his coat, he would pull out a small bottle and a faintly green liquid inside, he pops it open and drinks it up, letting the last bit pour over his wound. It would heal up and the cut with the blue flames would disappear. 

[The White Reaper's Turn. Uses Health Potion. Health Restored.]

"You guys stop it! While you two beat each other like this, the real villain behind all of this is likely fighting dad!" Yasuline yelled out, hoping common sense would go through Caliber's head and make him call in a truce of some kind. Or something similar to how Ann suddenly began to trust her and the White Reaper. But it didn't.

[Second Round Ends. Third Round Begins. Caliber's Turn.]

"Alright, she has a point. I have no time to be playing with the likes of you. Time for me to end this in one blow." 

Caliber would state as he then gets into a different position and holds the sword up to the sky. The blade would give off a faint glow and gradually grows brighter as he begins describing a chant of some kind. 

"I call upon the scared light of the Divine King to help me strike my foes down with his divine fury. Let those who burn find peace in his Holy Kingdom in the world beyond!"

The blade would pulse with such a glow that it was becoming too much for Yasuline's eyes to bear after adjusting to the dark night. 

She wouldn't be able to witness one of the Champion's powerful attacks. Even from a distance, the man would swing his sword as if striking an invisible foe that was right between him and the White Reaper. The glow around his blade would fly off of it and in a crescent shape, would be flung right at the White Reaper. 

The White Reaper would try to dodge out of the way, but the impact of the attack was too strong and the blast from it connecting would send the White Reaper smacking against the wall. It even caused some of the windows to shatter and break into tiny pieces. When looking back at where he was standing, The White Reaper would notice that he had dropped the training sword at where he stood. It was now broken into half and one of the halves was fractured into pieces. 

[Uses Skill Series: Swords of Light, Assault Skill: Buster Blade. Blocked. Minor Damage Damage Received. Weapon Destroyed. ATK decreased.] 

The damage was more severe than it looked. The White Reaper didn't have much time to do anything than to pick himself up from the ground. Yasuline was eager to run in and help him out, but Caliber would cut her off as he stands between her and him. 

[The White Reaper's Turn. Weapon on-hand Broke. Skip Turn.]

Seeing the advantage, Caliber would revert his thought process in how the fight should end. After all the reports he has heard about the White Reaper, He definitely looked sluggish than before. He rushes over to him and begins to perform that one combo that was effective. Both his sword strikes and shield bashes landed hits directly to the body of the White Reaper. More of the blue flames would ignite where the cuts on his body would be and more of the flames would fall out of him. The last shield bash would send the White Reaper flying in the air and land near where the princess was.

[Fourth Round Begins. Caliber's Turn. Uses Sword Skill: Sword-and-Shield Combo. Knockback Effect Taken.]

Yasuline would quickly get to the White Reaper and helps him sit up.

"Are you okay?" She would say to him as he looks to be struggling to hold back some grunts. 

"Princess, what are you doing? Stay away from him!" Caliber would yell out as she looks in disbelief that she was brave enough to be near such a monster. 

Hearing him yell out like that, the White Reaper would remember his place and begins to pick himself up from the ground. He reaches for her thighs and pulls the runeblade off of her hip. 

"Don't you touch the princess! You villain!" Caliber would bark at him. He would start to charge at him with his sword. 

The White Reaper would grab some of the flames that were on his body and places them on the blade. The runes would glow bright red to register it was activated, whatever ability the sword had. He would close his eyes as the blade itself would begin to glow with a flame-like aura surrounding it. It would flicker at first, but gradually the flames would be more solid as fire could get. 

At the last moment, the White Reaper would step forth and swings the sword right at the Champion. Caliber was too enraged to block and took a direct hit with the flaming blade. Some hidden power likely boosted the attack as well, as Caliber was knocked back by an incredible amount and hits his head against the wall with a thud. But he still wasn't down as he pulls himself off the wall and tries to put up his shield as he tries to reach into his armor for something. Likely a healing potion.

"Crafty criminal." He would mutter.

But the White Reaper wasn't done. He runs toward Caliber and activates another skill to use to finish the opponent off. A quick glow of the blade showed that Caliber was about to be facing some damage, he could barely put up his arms in time to block the attack. Another twirl of the sword and a jump in conjunction to the spin. The attack would send Caliber up into the air and back further down the hall. 

The White Reaper would land on his feet, while Caliber would fall on his back strong enough to bounce once from the impact. His sword falls out of his hand. He was immobile.
