Alice, in her human form, and Kirt stood a distance away from each other with their weapons in hand.
"Begin." Synthia shouted when she saw that both of them were ready. Kirt's spear was instantly covered in electricity as he charged at Alice. Alice created hands made of shadows and sent them towards the incoming Kirt. Unfazed, Kirt continued forwards and thrust his spear forward and released bolts of lightning towards the hands and they were all electrocuted and turned back into a shadows on the ground. Kirt smirked and looked at where Alice was but she wasn't there. He looked around searching for her but she was nowhere to be found.
*Bam*
Suddenly Kirt felt something impact his back and he fell to the ground. He quickly got up and angrily shouted.
"Stop hiding, you coward." In response Alice sent Shadow tentacles towards him and he defended himself with his spear but one of them managed to wrap around his leg and he quickly stabbed it and it turned back into a Shadow on the ground. He saw another shadow tentacle heading towards him and he sent a bolt of lightning towards it.
"Ahhhhhhhhh." Alice screamed
"There you are." Kirt said and fired an even more powerful bolt towards the same direction but Alice didn't become visible nor did she scream again.
*Bam*
Kirt was kicked in the back once again and he was skidded for a few meters on the ground before coming to a stop. I could see the frustration written on his face and I couldn't help but grin but...I think Alice should stop playing around. Using [Shadow Cloak] to fight was well and good but relying on it too much isn't a good idea and according to her report her overconfidence in that ability was the reason she was caught by that Greater imp.
"Alice, stop playing with him." So like a the good teacher I was I told her to give up an advantage and fight her opponent fairly.
"Fine." I heard her whisper and I saw a leg appear beside Kirt and before he could react he was sent flying once again and Alice finally came into view as her [Shadow Cloak] disappeared.
"Huh, you should have kept that invisibility of yours because now.....YOU'RE DEAD!!!!" Kirt shouted as he shot a rain of lightning from his spear towards Alice. Seeing the attack heading her way, Alice raised both her hands and a wall of shadows appeared blocking the attack. The wall crumbled and turned into dozens of Shadow hands heading towards him. He once again shot a rain of lightning from his spear to stop the hands and they once again turned back into shadows on the ground. Alice raced towards Kirt and he thrust his spear towards her and she parried it with her long sword and sparks of gold and red flew into the air. The electricity wasn't being conducted through her sword like I thought it would and Kirt seemed to have realized this as well as he jumped back.
"Tch." Clicking his tongue, Kirt channelled more Holy energy and even some of his aura into the spear as it glowed and his golden lightning seemed to glow even more. Kirt pushed off the ground towards Alice and she dashed towards him as well, they clashed with their weapons and they seemed to be evenly matched. But on closer analysis of the fight the only reason they are evenly matched is because of Kirt's weapon. After pouring more energy and his aura into it the weapon became more powerful than before. I took note of this because we, Alice and I, haven't really experimented much with our weapons just our skills and traits but if we want to be as strong as possible then we need to explore every aspect possible.
The two of them continued clashing against each other and slowly Alice was being pushed back and if nothing changed she will eventually lose the fight. Just as I thought this, Alice deflected a spear thrust and a shadow tentacle wrapped around Kirt legs.
"[Demons Pride],[Demon Enchant]." I heard her mumble to herself and a red aura surrounded her and her sword and then she shot towards Kirt who had just gotten did of the tentacles. When he looked up he saw Alice sword only mere inches from his face.
"Do you give up?" Alice asked and cold sweat dripped down Kirt's face as he stared at the blade.
".....Yes."
