"shut up lowly human"

Yana took his stance. He must focused to face Chillyd with his ice lances.

"take this"

-whuss-

More than twenty ice lances came at him following by the cold sensation in the air. They flew really fast. It was faster than normal arrow.

-zraak-

-dharr-

One by one, those ice lances tried to hit their target. Yana blocked it with his knife. He moved to the back and to the side several times within the barrage of those ice lances.

-kraang-

After blocking one of the ice lances in front of him, Chillyd came and brandished his sword.

-zriing-

Their weapon clashed. The soldiers around them could feel the impact but Yana held his attack.

"is he using [EMPOWERED] too? then let's see how he will handle this"

Chillyd put more pressure to his sword and he would use his skill after Yana losing his balance.

-triing-

"huh?"

It was totally the opposite of his plan. He was the one who's moving forward and lost his balance.

-buugh-

Yana took one step forward and twisted his body. Next, he raised his right elbow and stroke his enemy head. All of that moves were done in one breath taking and less than one second.

One hard hit to his temple. It felt really hurt, but he didn't have time for that.

When he turned to the left, his enemy already gripped his knife and ready to stab him.

He raised his hand and used his skill.

[FREEZE TOUCH V]

Yana jumped to the back and kicked some rocks when he landed. Again, those rocks turned into ice rocks and headed to Chillyd's torso.

He tried to dodge that but he's not fast enough.

-zraak-

A quite hard hit on his right shoulder. He almost dropped his sword.

"kgggh, just what.."

He quickly fixed his stance. He didn't want to get hit from nowhere just like before.

But Yana just stood in front of him, he casually lowered his knife. There's no sign that he wanted to continue his attack.

"you... what're you doing?"

"hm? what do you mean?"

"why aren't you using your chance to attack me? are you mocking me? lowly human like you?"

"no, i simply don't want to die" Yana smiled

Chillyd showed an unpleasant expression when he heard that.

"how he know.... don't tell me...no, it's impossible"

He cast aside all of his doubts and focused to take down the man in front of him.

Libhane, on the other hand, observed Yana's abilities from his position.

"he said 12% chance..... to kill me. Seeing his capability right now, it must be higher than that.. or!"

He did a gesture that indicated he understood something.

"if he know that far...hmmm, just in case"

He called one of his soldiers and whispered to him.

"understood commander!"

The duel continued.

Chillyd already used almost half of his mana capacity yet his enemy didn't take any damage until this far.

How? was he faster than him? stronger? how this kind of thing was possible?

"I'll use this...to find out"

He took his stance and prepared to attack. Yana raised his knife again.

[ICE TUSK V]

It was silent for one second. Everyone waited to see what happened next.

-sssh-

-whuung-

One bright blue circle shone on the ground below Yana's feet.

-zriing-

Ice pillar rose with an incredible speed, yet Yana successfully evaded that.

"huh, do you think it will stop there?" Chillyd smirked

-zriing-

Another ice pillar rose at Yana's position. It kept repeated like that, but the worst part was the pace of those ice pillars. It was getting faster and faster.

-zriing-

-zriing-

-zriing-

"hahaha! how's about that lowly human?! let's see how long you can evade that"

[ICE TUSK V] was the highest tier of skill [ICE TUSK]. Not only it had a faster ice pillar attack, it also had a longer duration. But the main reason why Chillyd used this skill was for its area of effect, he was pretty sure that no one could evade that.

Ragha saw that and wanted to help, yet he was in a more dire situation than his savior.

-krrrrrrrrr-

"KILL....HURT..."

"....will i fail my savior?"

Ragha looked at the beast in front of him. The beast that was ready to tore him apart.
