Chapter 18 - Duel (part 2)

The quadruplets watched with bated breath as the fiery duel between the two archers raged on. Liora, the seasoned knight and archer, faced off against Rizki, who had showcased remarkable archery skills.

As the battle intensified, Rizki's memories from his past life continued to resurface. He vividly remembered a day when he had dedicated himself to archery practice, focusing intensely on his target. But one missed shot had led to a resounding slap across his face, accompanied by a stern voice that had declared, "You are a man! A man must be able to hit someone right on the head!"

On the other side, Liora's memories painted a picture of her early talent in archery. From a young age, she had displayed exceptional accuracy, landing arrow after arrow with unwavering precision.

The quadruplets remained captivated by the duel, their curiosity growing as neither combatant had landed a decisive blow. Evelyn couldn't help but voice her thoughts, "I wonder, who will win?"

Eve, the analytical one, chimed in, "Rizki's archery skills are on a whole other level. They're out of this world!" Her eyes never left the intense showdown.

Eva nodded in agreement, her gaze locked on the archers. "His precision suggests years of dedication and hard work. I mean, he never misses with his magic arrows, does he?"

Eve, with her clear memory of Rizki's prowess, added, "He could do even better with a magic bow..."

The duel between the archers continued to escalate. Arrows were unleashed with incredible speed, slicing through the air with deadly precision.

Rizki released another arrow, and in response, Liora's swift reflexes allowed her to dodge it with ease. She retaliated with a shot of her own, aiming directly at Rizki's heart. But Rizki's agility came into play as he twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the arrow.

The room crackled with tension as the archers displayed their exceptional skills. Their movements were fluid, like a carefully choreographed dance of death. The quadruplets remained transfixed, unsure of who would emerge victorious in this fierce battle of skill and will.

In the heat of the battle, Rizki and Liora were locked in a fierce archer's duel. Their movements were lightning fast, and the room seemed to shrink as they closed the distance between each other.

Rizki released another arrow, and in response, Liora's swift reflexes allowed her to dodge it with ease. She retaliated with a shot of her own, aiming directly at Rizki's heart. But Rizki's agility came into play as he twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the arrow. The deadly projectile flew past him, embedding itself into the wall behind him.

With every passing moment, the tension in the room grew thicker. The quadruplets watched wide-eyed, their breath held in anticipation. It was like witnessing a Wild West showdown, but instead of pistols, the combatants wielded bows and arrows.

Rizki, fueled by his determination to understand Liora's motives and to prove himself, unleashed a barrage of arrows. Each shot was meticulously aimed, but Liora's incredible agility allowed her to evade them with grace. Her movements were a testament to her years of training and battle experience.

Liora countered with her own flurry of arrows, sending them whizzing towards Rizki. He moved like a shadow, his body twisting and contorting to avoid the incoming projectiles. The room echoed with the sound of arrows piercing through the air, and it felt like time itself had slowed down.

As the battle raged on, the archers' skills were on full display. Rizki's precision and accuracy were unmatched, while Liora's speed and agility were awe-inspiring. It was a clash of styles and abilities, a battle of wits and reflexes.

Arrows zipped past Rizki, narrowly missing their mark, while his own shots grazed Liora's clothing but failed to find their target. The room became a chaotic battleground, with arrows embedding themselves into walls, floor, and ceiling.

Eva, Eve, Everyn, and Evelyn watched with a mix of fear and amazement. They could hardly believe the intensity of the duel unfolding before them. The archers' dedication to their craft was evident, and the outcome of this duel held the fate of their mission in the balance.

Rizki and Liora locked eyes for a brief moment, their gazes filled with determination and respect. Despite the fierce battle, there was an unspoken acknowledgment of each other's skill. They were no longer just adversaries; they were warriors testing their limits.

Rizki unleashed a rapid succession of shots, his quiver seemingly endless. Liora responded in kind, her arrows flying like a deadly storm. The room was filled with the melody of bowstrings being pulled and arrows being released.

Finally, as if in perfect unison, both archers loosed their final arrows. The room fell into a tense silence as the arrows streaked towards each other, colliding in mid-air with a resounding clash. The arrows shattered into splinters, leaving nothing but a swirl of wooden fragments.

Rizki and Liora stood there, panting and covered in sweat. Their bows remained drawn, aimed at each other, but there was no need for further action. It was a draw, a testament to their equal skill and determination.

The quadruplets couldn't contain their amazement. They had just witnessed an incredible display of archery prowess, a duel that had pushed the limits of what they thought was possible. Eva, Eve, Everyn, and Evelyn exchanged glances, their respect for both combatants evident in their eyes.

Rizki finally lowered his bow, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Liora followed suit, her expression a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction. The room seemed to exhale as the tension dissipated.

"You are an exceptional archer indeed," Liora exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration. She couldn't deny Rizki's talent with a bow. His skills were a rare find, and she had witnessed them firsthand.

Rizki nodded, acknowledging the compliment. "You reminded me of that man I had a hard time defeating in a national sports competition," he admitted, his tone filled with respect. The memory of that formidable opponent had remained with him throughout his life.

As the two archers exchanged words of praise, a sense of camaraderie began to form. They had dueled fiercely, testing each other's limits, but now, there was an unspoken understanding between them. They were kindred spirits, bound by their shared love for archery.

But before they could delve into further conversation, the room crackled with tension once again. Without warning, Rizki released another arrow, his movements swift and precise. However, Liora's reflexes were equally sharp, and she effortlessly dodged the projectile.

The air seemed to thicken as their gazes locked, and in an instant, Liora retaliated. Her arrow shot through the air like lightning, its speed and accuracy catching Rizki off guard. He barely managed to evade it, his heart racing with the thrill of the exchange.

Liora couldn't help but smirk as she watched Rizki's reaction. She knew that she had pushed him to his limits, and her confidence in her abilities shone through. With a smile, she announced, "It's my turn."
