Chapter 4 - Slice and Dice vs Joy of Creation

I got into stance and watched her charging at me. She swung at me horizontally aiming at my neck. I stood a step back and tilted my torso back and the dagger miss by an inch.

I took another step back and swung my glaive at her. She knew what I was going to do and smiled while her daggers started to glow and she swung back... towards my glaive?

She swung multiple times in less than a quarter of a quarter of a second towards my coming glaive, but I stilled continued my swing. Then I noticed that my glaive went through her, but it did not touch her. Instead, my glaive was diced into pieces and all the pieces fell on the ground.

"Wow that was incredible!", I said while still holding the handle of my glaive.

"Thanks! Can you still create another weapon?"

I smiled, "No problem."

I recreated my glaive with the same handle and held it with my two hands aiming it at her.

"The same weapon? I am just going to slice it again."

"Why are you so sure?", I said while I swung at her again.

She smiled and activated her ability again. "Why shouldn't I be?"

She swung both daggers towards my glaive again, but instead of slicing it, it got stuck on the glaive.

"What?! Oof!"

I swung horizontally, but she blocked it and was knocked a couple of feet away.

Veronica's POV:

I swung to slice his glaive again but instead it got stuck on it.

"What?! Oof!"

I was surprised, but he did not stop, so I used to the daggers to block the glaive. It knocked me back quite a distance away.

'He is strong.', I said while I stood back up and looked at him.

"Huh?! Aaaaaah!"

*BOOOOOM*

He shot a rocket from a rocket launcher and I dodged it just in time.

"You can create a rocket launcher?!"

"I can create almost anything. Let me give you a hint. The longer the fight is and the more excited I am, the stronger and more powerful my creations are.", he said while he made another rocket and was about to shoot it.

'Dang it. I got to dodge it!'

I ran to the side circling him.

'After he shoots it, I will strike.'

But then the weapon vanished and instead was replace with a long sword, and I mean a really long sword. The longest sword I have ever seen. He brought it down and while we has a couple of feet away, the sword was going to hit me!

'I can't slice it!'

I dodged to the side but then he twisted the blade 90 degrees, sharp edge pointing at me.

'Shit!'

He then swung horizontally towards me while a ran away from it. Right before it reached me I jumped back over the sword.

"One sword not good enough? Ok then.", he said and it gave me chills.

Right when I touched the ground there was a sword thrusting my direction.

'Shit Shit!'

I parried it to the left and ran towards him, but then the previous sword swung towards my side. I jumped over it still running towards him.

'The closer I am, the more useless the longsword becomes.'

With that idea, I ran towards dodging above and under, parried here and there, duck and jump over. Faster and faster he swings the closer I get to him.

'It's getting harder to dodge, but I can still do it.', I said to myself while getting closer and closer.

All of this was happening in less than 10 seconds. And right when I was about to swing at him, both his long swords was already swung and would take a while before he can redirect it towards me.

"I got you now!" I said while aiming for his neck again.

I was so close, but then I got the same chills again. I dodged back and right where I was a long sword just like the other two fell from the sky and stabbed the ground where I was.

"Impressive! You have incredible instincts!", He said while I was just staring at him with shock.

"What? Did you think I can only create stuff from my hands? I have the ability to create anything I want around me."

"Do you want to continue?"

He said that with no sign of tiredness while I was exhausted just dodging all of his blades.

"I can *ha* still *ha* fight *ha*.", I said while I was breathing hard.

"I see. Ok, I will try a little harder."

"*ha* Wha... ?!"

The same chills came over me and I dodged to my side to see that another blade fell where I was. I saw up and another was coming towards my direction. I dodged again but then a sword was swung horizontally. I ducked and another fell from the sky while another was coming at me horizontally.

I dodged left then jumped up and over. In the air another long sword came from the side and I blocked it knocking me back far away.

*GAAAHK*

I fell down but then I jumped right back up and dodged another blade falling from the sky.

*ha* *ha* 'I have to try harder! I will beat him!' I ran towards him.

Dodge left, right, jump over, parry, slide, jump and twist. While I was exhausted, I did not slow down, instead, I sped up. Faster than I ever went before. My Daggers suddenly glowed as well as my eyes.

'Faster. FASTER!'

I sped up even more dodging every blade, but then after jumping another blade was coming at me and I could not dodge. I subconsciously swung my daggers towards the long sword and instead of clashing against each other, it sliced through. I continued and diced the long sword and continued my sprint towards him.

More and more long swords came at me. faster than before. I dodged some, but never parried, I just diced them if they came into contact with my dagger.

I ran until I finally reached him again. And again, I swung my dagger towards his neck. A long sword appeared above my ready to strike me, but before it touched me, I sliced and diced it with my other dagger.

"You're done!", I said when my dagger was about to touch his neck.

Suddenly he vanished.

"!?"

I swung at air and then I looked around.

I saw him. Behind me, but before I could swing my dagger, he swung his hand and chopped the back of my neck.

"I am Impressed, but I will win this match."

That was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
