Chapter 508 - Their Decision
The two attacked each other with a quick exchange of offense and defense. Their power and speed were nearly the same, being Valdel were a bit stronger, but Lisa was slightly faster. Since Lisa was faster and more dexterous, Valdel was forced into the defensive relying on parrying and countering her strikes.
??
The Lisa in this dream world might have become stronger and had gained a lot of experience over the years, but Valdel did not only have his experience from the real world but the experience of the Valdel of this dream world, as well as his experience as Demon Lord Kir.
Valdel\'s battle experience dwarfed Lisa\'s by a lot. It wasn\'t easy to predict Lisa\'s attack pattern as her two blades flowed continuously without stopping and for each strike made the next was moving faster than the last. Yet Valdel could sense and predict each move and was able to avoid and parry them. Still every time he would try to counter-attack Lisa was able to easily evade his strike.
Both of them were at a similar level so the first one to get hit would be the one to most likely lose. So at this point in their battle, they were still probing each other out not using their best moves. After a few more exchanges Lisa stopped and the way she was breathing changed.
She then suddenly threw one of her swords at Valdel. That actually took Valdel by surprise and he barely evaded the strike. He then saw that Lisa had disappeared in front of him. Valdel quickly placed his sword behind him and a loud clang reverberated.
Lisa then kicked Valdel\'s sword and used it as a stepping board so that she could jump upward, and once she was above Valdel\'s head she threw one of her swords at Valdel. She once again disappeared in front of Valdel\'s eyes. Valdel then felt Lisa\'s presence below him. Valdel quickly stepped back and evaded the incoming strike.
It was at that moment, Valdel finally understood what Lisa was doing, she was teleporting around and using her swords as a medium to where she will teleport to. Lisa smiled sweetly at Valdel.
"As expected of you, to evade my new skill without prior knowledge of it. That was one of the secret skills I have been developing without you knowing."
"I see, since you\'re getting serious, I better get serious as well." Valdel tossed his Bastard Sword aside and removed his plated armor. Lisa simply watched as Valdel prepared himself. Once the armor was off, Valdel took a stance unarmed.
"Oh, it would seem that we both didn\'t know the true specialty of the other. Still, even with that, I will be the victor!"
Lisa once again threw her blade at Valdel, but this time Valdel didn\'t evade but instead caught it. Lisa teleported towards the blade and was about to receive Valdel\'s fist to her chest. Yet before Valdel\'s fist could reach her, she spun evading the strike, and pulled her sword away from Valdel\'s hand.
It was at that moment Lisa saw in the corner of her eye, a leg was fast approaching her. Lisa quickly threw one of her swords away and teleported. Lisa looked at Valdel with a shocked expression on her face. She wasn\'t expecting Valdel\'s reaction time to increase once he discarded his weapons.
Now that Valdel had the option to catch her swords, throwing them to teleport became a bit tricky. So Lisa sighed as she discarded her two short swords, she then took out the two daggers she had hidden. Lisa once again changed her stance and charged at Valdel.
The speed of her charge made her seem like she teleported, this was her maximum speed. Valdel who did not move waited for her to strike so he could counter, but then Lisa suddenly stopped and then moved erratically to the side. Her mana fluctuation started to spread out and Valdel saw multiple Lisa\'s surrounding him.
Each Lisa was weaker than the original, but since the distribution of mana was exactly the same, Valdel could not guess who the original was. It was at that moment all the Lisa\'s charged at him, but Valdel was not shaken as he stood firmly like a mountain.
Valdel evaded and struck each Lisa that came to attack him. Their coordination was perfect, and Valdel was nicked here and there, but each time they got a hit in Valdel struck one of the clones and they would disappear. After a while, all of the clones were gone, and the original Lisa was on the ground panting. On the other hand, Valdel was bleeding all over.
It would seem that it was Valdel who lost that exchange, but the truth was different. Though Valdel was bleeding all over those were just minor wounds and none of them were fatal. On the other hand, Lisa had used a large portion of her mana to create those clones and was now running on fumes.
Lisa then stood up, barely able to stand straight. She looked at Valdel with a smile.
"It would seem that the next strike, will be the last one."
"Yeah… Are you sure about this, Lisa?" Even though no words were said, after that exchange, Valdel knew what Lisa truly wanted. Lisa chuckled as she answered.
"Yes."
As they were about to have their final clash, unbeknownst to them Ren had already arrived at their location and was watching their battle from the distance. He had only a few seconds left to use the original\'s power, but he waited for the battle to finish.
He knew that this was a battle that needed to happen, and he was not one to interfere in such a battle.
\'Are you sure about this, I thought you wanted to save them both?\' The original incarnation asked.
"Yes I did, but it seems like this is what they decided by themselves. It would seem that Lisa is also satisfied with this." Ren who was already hurting from the power he was receiving continued to watch from a distance.
