"Dual veitas?" Eidar commented, surprised yet relaxed.
He quickly rolled the staff in his grip while ducking to the side, forcing Nelphy back a step but unable to overpower her. However, Eidar was surprised to see his next step already faltering. Another clump of dirt was already rising and moving to force him back off balance.
They remained grappled with the staff for longer than Eidar had expected. His footing was constantly challenged and the occasional water whip would keep Eidar from getting comfortable. And whenever he tried to use his ice on the staff to get Nelphy off, her channeling was too strong for him to force her back without increasing the overall difficulty.
But Eidar would soon be allowed to increase the difficulty, so that wasn't too big of an issue.
"Alright, Consider yourself a steel rank mercenary. Congratulations!" cheered Eidar, chuckling under his breath. "But now, it's time to get more serious."
"I give."
