The Divine Chosen Champion of the Lake Fairy matched evenly with Manfred of Holy Sanctuary's power, reducing the forest around them to scorched earth.
"Bang!" A clash of blades, Manfred looked grimly at the nick in the Blade of Profanity. As undead energy surged in, the Blade of Profanity was soon restored. He raised his hand again, casting another Nagash's Gaze. Laine parried the attack, retreated several meters, then roared and tore apart the energy beam.
Unlike the leader of the Castain family, Vlad von Castain, Manfred was more akin to a mage than a warrior. His melee skills were decent, but he was more powerful in mastering all death and undead spells. Against Laine's constant dispersion of his Summon Undead spells and Laine's high magic resistance, Manfred felt the frustration of being unable to unleash his strength fully. Unable to summon undead servants, he was forced into a skirmish with Laine, which was exactly what Laine wanted.
