System vs Rebirth

"You…" Wendy leaped forth while slashing her sword.

Dimitri also waved his sword, striking her sword.

Wendy's blood sword suddenly splashed like a normal blood and each droplet acted like a nail, puncturing Dimitri's body.

However, Dimitri covered his body with black energy, absorbing all those droplets before making a complete swing due to the dispersed blood.

"!!!" Wendy suddenly felt immense danger from that one full swing alone. Even though the sword didn't even reach her, her instinct was telling her that if she didn't move away, she would die.

Hence, Wendy chose to trust her instinct and leaped back before a sharp pain struck her neck.

Wendy widened her eyes in shock and tried to press the area where the pain came, only to find blood covering her hand.

Wendy was shocked because this kind of attack shouldn't have happened. But because she leaped back, her vision became wider and she spotted the shadow reflected by the moonlight.

The shadow of the blade looped around Dimitri and curved straight to her shadow's neck. That was the reason why she got this injury. But to think that Dimitri could kill someone just by using their shadow, even she was shocked.

"Kh." Wendy realized that even though their rank was about the same, it seemed that Dimitri's strength was far beyond her. It wasn't just about the Spiritual Energy, it was about the utilization of the Spiritual Energy. And Dimitri won that area by a landslide.

Dimitri, of course, didn't plan to drag this fight, so he leaped forth while waving his blade. His shadow also began to move, so Wendy had to look at both him and his shadow attacks.

Wendy gritted her teeth and covered the ground with her blood again. This would drain her Spiritual Energy, but this was the only way for her to stop Dimitri.

However, Dimitri was never afraid of challenge. Seeing that his shadow was blocked, Dimtri covered his sword with dark energy before striking Wendy's sword.
