The second match was about to begin.
"I have just watched what you have done Mr Umbra, what an honour it is to fight with such a great man, please let us have a good fight."
When Kres said these words, he bowed his head and drew the knives at his waist.
James smiled after these words nodded his head and said "Let's have a good match." and took the sword out of his inventory again.
His aura covered his whole body, it was clear that he wanted to finish this fast, so he put his Dark Step ability back into use and then rushed towards his opponent.
His speed was enormous, he disappeared from the ground, just like Rico had done.
Still, he could sense that something was different.
Every attack he made on Kres was met, every step he took was read in advance and Kres was able to counter-attack.
James realised that after a few of his attacks, he was being pushed backwards, his opponent was managing to outpace him, if only slightly.
