'Invisibility, huh?'
Daru's eyes darted about, searching for any hint of where the crystalline fiend might be.
He didn't fancy such cowardly tactics.
However, he understood that this was a part of the Sword Trials, and unlike being a pure swordsman, an excellent bladeborn must be able to deal with a diverse array of tactics.
Invisibility was just one of them.
'Fine, then, fiend…'
He swiftly turned from time to time, hoping to catch Cryzhar's tracks. But there was nothing.
The next thing he knew, he was feeling a strange, eerie, and cold silence, one that made his blood curl.
Death?
He swiftly turned to the direction of the source, and sure enough, the crystalline fiend was there, crystals clinking faintly as Cryzhar zoomed.
Daru swiftly raised his tachi and sidestepped to protect his heart from the stabbing attack, but his parry attempt half-failed, as the fiend was already too close.
