The arena was bathed in moonlight as two of Midgard's most famous players, Bloody Lily and Xanthea, finally met on the battlefield. After a brief greeting and exchange of words, they stood on opposite sides and waited for the signal to begin fighting.
As soon as the gongs rang out across the Valkyria Arena, Blood Lily surprised Xanthea with her speed and tried to attack with her ruddy sword, but Xanthea created a magical barrier to protect herself from the attack. The barrier didn't hold for long, crumbling from the force of the blow, but Xanthea quickly cast a spell to grab Bloody Lily with greenish tentacles that mysteriously appeared from portals around her.
The onlookers were surprised by this magic, and soon remembered that she was a witch class player, which meant that her spells were not as common as those of mage class players.
"What are those things?" Bloody Lily asked, also surprised. She had never met anyone who could use interdimensional portals.
