The Moonlight Swordsman



Aizel kept his eyes on Kelvin, his eyes narrowing as he observed a dagger materializing in Kelvin's right hand.

He did the same thing as his opponent and quickly pulled out his own dragon fang dagger.

Kelvin spun his dagger in the air in a single, smooth motion. He then lunged forward with incredible speed, trying to stab Aizel with a quick and deadly thrust. 

But Aizel's sharpened reactions and senses kicked in, allowing him to act in a split second. He caught Kelvin's hand in a firm grip with his free hand, halting the attack in its tracks. 

Seeing his chance, Aizel quickly fought back and tried to drive his own dagger toward Kelvin in a powerful counterattack. 

But Kelvin blocked it with his forearm, and the force of their confrontation reverberated through their bodies. 

Kelvin, unfazed, took advantage of the opening and swung a wider punch aimed at Aizel's head.

With cat-like agility, Aizel swiftly ducked, narrowly evading the blow. When he got back to his feet, he found himself in the middle of a dangerous attack. 

Kelvin thrust his dagger toward Aizel's face with alarming speed and precision.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Aizel deflected the dagger's trajectory, causing it to graze his cheek, leaving behind a shallow scratch. 

With a quick twist of his body, Aizel threw a strong elbow strike that hit Kelvin right in the stomach.

Taking advantage of the momentary edge, Aizel tried to swiftly strike Kelvin in the leg with his dagger, aiming to incapacitate him. 

However, Kelvin's reflexes proved equal to the task, as he caught Aizel's wrist just in the nick of time. 

Locked in a tense standoff, their eyes locked in a deadly gaze, both mages were fully committed to delivering the final blow and determined to emerge victorious in their perilous duel.

Suddenly, Aizel's hands moved like lightning toward Kelvin's face as he tried to hit him with a dangerous blow. 

However, Kelvin exhibited incredible agility as he deftly evaded the attack, swiftly spinning around. 

Kelvin took advantage of the chance and aimed his dagger at Aizel's chin with the force of an uppercut. 

Aizel managed to react in the nick of time, narrowly evading the lethal strike, and quickly retreated to create some distance between them. 

In a daring move, Kelvin attempted to close the distance between them and deliver a powerful kick. Aizel quickly lifted his leg to block the attack coming at him.

Aizel quickly tried to hit Kelvin in the stomach with his dagger, but Kelvin moved just as quickly and grabbed Aizel's wrist in a vice-like grip. 

With a surge of wind magic enhancing his speed, Kelvin forcefully drove the dagger into Aizel's leg, causing him to lose his footing and tumble upside down, crashing to the ground.

As if summoned by unseen forces, a colossal spear manifested in the air, its sharp tip glinting ominously.

It was surrounded by swirling winds and came down at a frightening speed, aiming to bring an abrupt end to Aizel's life. 

However, Aizel's body crackled with lightning, allowing him to swiftly evade the deadly trajectory. 

He moved out of the way just in time to avoid the spear's piercing attack as the spear plunged into the ground, creating a small crater and remaining lodged in the earth.

[Master, he didn't summon that spear from his storage ring. Is he able to use imagination as well?]

No, it's different; I think he created it out of nowhere."

[Creation Magic?]

Probably, along with the wind. This guy looks and acts stupid, but he is deadly."

"You are the first one who has been alive till now when facing me," Kelvin said.

"Well, it seems you haven't fought anyone stronger till now," Aizel replied.

"Not only do you have a gorgeous face, but your mouth runs wild too. I really can't stand against you."

"Yeah, that's why you've gotta go to the other side," Aizel replied, mocking him once again.

[Master, he is losing his cool]

Kelvin raised both hands as if he were conducting a symphony of destruction.

In response, an array of imposing spears materialized out of thin air, their sharp points directed with lethal precision toward Aizel. 

The very air crackled with the power of the wind, intensifying the imminent threat. 

Aizel's heart skipped a beat as he realized the gravity of the situation, but he quickly steeled himself. Drawing upon the raw energy of lightning, he imbued himself with its electric might.

With a firm resolve, he put his dagger back and watched as Sekki transformed into two formidable double-edged swords, each glinting with a deadly aura. 

Gripping the swords tightly in both hands, Aizel braced himself for the impending onslaught, prepared to face the storm of spears.

"Let's see, after this, will you still have that face of yours," Kelvin said.

This guy is fucking pissing me off."

[Let's bash this guy's face, Master.]

Damn right,"

With a commanding gesture from Kelvin, the wind-infused spears sprung to life, hurtling toward Aizel with deadly precision.

Aizel sprang into action like a bolt of lightning. 

His movements became a blur as he dashed in every conceivable direction. His agility and speed were unmatched as he swiftly evaded the onslaught of spears, each one narrowly missing its mark. 

*TING*

*TING**TING*

*TING**TING**TING*

*TING**TING*

*TING*

The clash of metal echoed through the air as he repelled the incoming spears with his dual swords. 

Despite Aizel's remarkable swordplay, a few of the spears managed to find their mark, grazing his armor. 

But to his surprise, the spears that had missed their target at first changed direction and began to chase him relentlessly. 

They flew through the air with uncanny accuracy, following Aizel's every move like guided rockets.

Aizel caught a glimpse of Kelvin standing still in one place with a sly smile on his lips out of the corner of his eye. 

His annoyance surged within him upon seeing his face.

Swiftly altering his course to evade the approaching spears, Aizel honed in on Kelvin with unwavering focus.

He put all of his energy into getting closer to his opponent.

Irfrit, I will leave this to you now, don't put out too much energy." 

*Vrooom*
