NOVPUBSelection Ceremony 3 Twin Warrior Battle
*Gakkin!!
My black dagger clashed with Seda’s shamshir, one half of the twins, and a high-pitched sound echoed through the dungeon.
“Seda! –[Air Curtain]!”
Immediately, the other of the twins, Selik, frowned at the protruding Seda, but he and Seda were covered in wind protection, and the momentum of Seda’s blow brought me slightly down on my feet.
“Don’t think you can beat us!”
The male and female twins of Selik and Seda, warriors under the demon clan Charlemagne.
The male, Selik, was a Rank 4 magician with at least level 4 dark magic, and although he was a magician, he wore soft leather armor, so he was no novice at melee combat either. Since he was using [Shadow Walk], which was a magic that was more assassination oriented, I guessed that he was a scout like me.
Seda, the woman, was also a rank 4 melee fighter. She was an offensive type with the speed to handle Shamshir, a lightweight one-handed sword. Her directness would also be an advantage for a ranger-type light fighter who cuts into the enemy.
A high-level dark magician and a dual-wielding light fighter. Both have the same fighting style as me, and both have mastered both of them, and both were less skilled in combat than me, but probably better than me in their individual skills.
“Ora, ora, ora!!!”
Seda shouted as she danced and swung her sword, and I followed suit, dodging with my knife and dagger. We were evenly matched in speed. But whether it was a difference in muscle power or weight, my body was swept away with each blow from Seda.
“–[Gimlet]–!”
A dark magic I did not know was unleashed from Selik, a sharp needle shot out from a fist-sized mass of darkness that shot out over our heads.
“Tsk!”
“Hah!!!” 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Aiming at the moment I ducked from the darkness spike, Seda brandished her sword with all her might, and I quickly lifted my foot to soften the blow and move out of the way. However, Seda, expecting my reaction chased after me as I was knocked out of position, bent down in place as though to fall down.
“Die, woman of the human race!!!”
“–[Shadow Walk]–“
Dark magic was released from Selik again, and at that moment, Seda, who had disappeared into her own shadow, attacked from behind me. A deadly blade of a special attack approached me. Thinking that I would not be able to parry it with my knife in time, I received the blade with my arm guard.
Gin!
I was able to intercept it because of the magic steel iron core I had planted in my hand armor, but I couldn’t catch it myself, and as I rolled across the stone floor of the dungeon, I threw the hidden weapon from [Shadow Storage] at Selik and Seda.
“Seda! Don’t get too far away!”
Selik stopped Seda from gradually moving away from the supply convoy, and as she was about to give chase to me, she scowled a little at his words.
“You saw what just happened, Selik! Even one of us could beat her easily!”
“…Tsk.”
Seda thought she could beat me alone by the feel of her blade, and knowing that I used [Shadow Walk] at the time I decided to clash with her as a warrior, Selik was quite wary of me, being of the same type.
“…”
I kept the twins in sight and continued to analyze their strengths, while making sure there were no abnormalities in my bones or tendons.
