It was truly strange.
The shallow cut left by Somersault Slash was still there, on the bony horror's arm, still bleeding lightly.
Yet, the damage seemed to have healed.
How could she be impervious to blades in a literal trial where one can only use swords?
'There must be a way to hurt her…' Daru mused, his eyes never leaving his opponent.
Unfortunately, he wasn't given much time to think.
La Filosa suddenly began weeping again…even though she's still smiling creepily, then burst into another charge half a second later.
She was fast, but she was faster the first time.
Daru had seen the bony horror's speed before, and he was able to react slightly better now.
He slashed his sword at La Filosa, who was hissing and cackling sinisterly as she swung both her sword arms in a cross motion.
An ear-piercing clang rang out.
Due to the considerable disparity in agility, he wasn't able to swing his arms all the way, and so he was sent skidding back a few meters.
