A duel of blades is the most common way to settle disputes between men

As soon as those words were released from Christopher's mouth, Grey could be seen sprinting across the field, closing the distance at an alarming rate. For any normal person, the speed at which Grey took off would be impossible. However, because he has devil blood he is able to push his muscles past the breaking point for a normal human. Christopher, along with everyone else in the village, also had devil blood, so this speed increase did not surprise him. What did surprise Christopher was Greys speed, it seemed to have drastically improved since their last sparring session. Being the experienced warrior that he was the change did not affect him.
Grey arrived at Christopher's location in a matter of seconds, swinging his blade in one fluid motion aiming for Christopher's side. Christopher casually blocked the sudden attack with a flick of his wrist. Grey, who had only in recent years begun learning swordsmanship was severely lacking in technical abilities, especially compared to the battle-hardened Christopher. What Grey lacked in skill, he made up with tenacity and speed. Grey appeared to be a blur of golden and black light quickly sticking at Christopher who remained on the defense.
The current battle appeared to be at a stalemate, Grey ferociously attacking, while Christopher adeptly blocking. Christopher was calmly predicating Grey's every move, while Grey was slowly losing steam. His attacks were coming slower and slower; however, there was still not enough time between the attacks to allow for Christopher to get a solid hit in. This back and forth of blades seemed to last for minutes until Christopher made his move. As Grey's moves had slowed Christopher was able to find the rhythm of his attack and locate an opening. At the precise moment of the opening, Christopher swung his blade smoothly against the sweaty Grey's blade, deflecting the blade outwards from him, causing Grey to be wide open. Taking the opportunity, Christopher struck Grey with the tip of his blade, piercing straight through his body.
At the moment of impact, Grey appeared to be in shock, unsure of what had happened. His plan of slowly wearing out Christopher had completely crumbled, he had been the one to become worn out. Realizing he had been mortally wounded Grey slowly sank to the ground, blood dripping out of his mouth. His vision began to darken, however, before he blacked out he could hear Christopher say "Just how fast will he get, I was barely able to keep up this time."
