The Elf leaped to the side, swinging his sword down to strike at the Giant Sword held on the centerline.
Just as Colin put his strength into stabilizing his defense, the Elf's Long Sword instantly retracted and came slashing from another direction. The movement was seamless, leaving almost no time to react.
At this point, Colin no longer held back.
Disregarding everything, he gripped his sword with both hands and thrust directly at his opponent's body.
The Elf, however, changed the direction of his swing and parried the blade at the last possible moment.
'This life-for-a-life tactic is working!'
Colin pressed his attack, raising his Giant Sword high and chopping down at his opponent again.
The Elf raised his Long Sword to block the attack and retreated once more.
'He got away just like that?' Colin wondered, panting heavily as he watched the Elf, who still seemed to be fighting with ease.
This was, without a doubt, the toughest opponent he had ever faced.
