ăKaraokeă ă€ă«ă”ăâă«ăžă / IkasamaâCasino ăOff VocalăThe Voice of Treason blocked another strike from his opponent with his sheathe, but the force sent him back even farther than he anticipated. âTch⊠Youâre good.â Asher muttered. So far, Asher was at about 33% of his maximum health. Not good, but it wasnât bad at all. His stat buffs allowed Asher to make a comeback, bringing his opponent, <<RedFang>>, to about 55% health. RedFang charged at Asher, his shield flowing, a sign for a <<Charging Shield Bash>> skill. Asher dived and rolled out of the way, chanting,
"Oh roar that shakes the very foundations of the earth, resound! Bloody Howling!" RedFang performed a backflip to get out of the range of asher's dark element spell, and countered with another <<Charging Shield Bash>>. Asher had to recover from the skill, so he was bashed in the head by his opponent's shield. 20%, his health bar said. Asher only looked at it in his peripheal vision, as another attack came his way. This time, a <<Spin Attack>>. Asher ducked and jumped the moment the skill was deactivated, front-flipping into a <<Dropkick>>. His opponent was sent back, losing 2% of his health bar. The two fighters chose this moment to catch their breaths.
âNot badâŠâ RedFang huffed, catching his breath. âNever saw you go PvP against someone else, Voice of Treason. Not many get to duel me for this long.â
âOnly when my life depends on it.â Asher smirked as he refereced his passive skill, hiding his fatigue of battle. The two opponents then charged once again. Swords were blocked by sheathes and shields respectively, but Asher thought fast and quickly chanted a common, yet useful, spell. â
Burn by my hand! Fireball!â Asher shouted, and flames englufed Asherâs hand before forcing themselves into the shield of his opponent. Unfortunately for him, RedFang saw it coming, and used the momentum to get behind Asher. Thinking quickly, Asher ducked an incoming horizontal slash to the head, and <<Windmilled>> RedFang as he rose up. The member of the Bloody Assassins wasnât able to recover from his attack fast enough, and was kicked to the ground. Asher continued by jumping high and slamming his blade down. Because RedFang didnât get up in time, the system registered a Critical Hit, thus bringing Asherâs opponentâs life down to 47%. Asher leapt back and pointed his sword at his rising enemy. âHeh⊠Iâm surprised that you didnât join our guild, Voice of Treason. Why donât you? We can see a lot of potential stored in you.â His enemy suggested. Asher rolled his eyes in response.
âPlease.â Asher stated. âCan you get any more clichĂ©? First I beat you down to a certain percentage of health, then you want me to join you? No thanks.â Asher prepared his sword in a defensive stance, waiting for his opportunity for his ace. RedFang had also done the same thing. After all, great minds think alike. It was no just a situation of who would charge first. The two waited for the right moment to strike. Moments felt like hours, the seconds ticked away slowly. Asher charged first. He didnât have the time to do this. RedFang smiled as he brought his shield back, and literally sheathed his sword into his shield. Asherâs eyes widened as he knew what was coming next. It was an air combo skill, much like Asherâs <<Slash of Eternity>>. RedFang kicked upward. Asher blocked with his <<Devilâs Eye Blade>>, but the force still send him to the sky. Didnât help that it caused him to crash into the ceiling as well. RedFang brought out his sword and jumped towards Asher, blade first.
Asher had to think fast. Then Asher remembered a skill he saved into the sword. Smiling, Asher recited the chant. â
Blind my enemies! End this battle without bloodshed. Shine!â The eye of Asherâs sword glowed before releasing a bright light, blinding RedFang. Asher got the chance that he needed. Not only did Shine blind his opponent, but the skill RedFang was going to use on Asher was cancelled too. Asher recited Kannaâs spell next. â
Fly! Sylphae Step!â The wind surrounded him, and Asher commanded the wind to send him down. â
Slash of Present!â Asher shouted, activating the skill. He sliced through RedFang midair, as well as allowing Asher to go back to the ground. â
Ghost Wolf!â Asher launched himself back into the air before slicing through his enemy twice, one from behind, one from the front. Asher then activated his combo finisher. â
Assault Slash!â 45%. 43%. 42%. 38%. RedFangâs life dropped lower and lower with each slash, as Asher successfully chained all of his skills into a Critical Hit chain, mainly because Shine also causes <<Dazed>> and <<Stagger>>, which causes the next skill or skills to be Critical Hits. A devastating blow indeed, as tremors were felt throughout the castle at the impact of the Assault Slash.
Wait⊠That mustâve been Kanna. Asher thought to himself.
That mustâve mean she used one of her more powerful skillsâŠAsher sighed as he sheathed his sword. No use fighting now. The enemy on the ground was in the <<Unconscious>>, despite having a relatively high amount of health. If he ever got up, which Asher knew he couldnât, RedFang wouldâve fallen prey to Asherâs <<Slash of Eternity>>, putting his life at 20% health, if the system added the last attack into the chain of skills. A lucky break for the Voice of Treason, indeed. Asher walked to the wall and sat down, his hand flicking through the numerous windows for health potions. Unfortunately, Asher forgot to restock. He groaned as he sat against the wall, waiting for his partner to finish the battle. âGodâŠâ Asher muttered. âWhat the hell did Refa do to make this all happenâŠ?"
