Fight the Witch

Swisshh!

With a sword in one hand and a dagger in the next, Emery dashed in great speed towards Maeve. However, his attack was quickly blocked by multiple plant roots that could somehow follow his movements.

Maeve cast a plant spell [Entangle] to block Emery's advances.

Slash! Slash!

There were several roots, but none were fast enough nor strong enough, allowing Emery to slash through them with ease. But, with just one second of him being distracted, Maeve had moved away and sunk into the darkness of the woods.

"Hahahaha! Very good, very good! Catch me, dear sweet Emery!"

Emery had participated in a few more fights now thanks to the Magus Academy tournament and he believed that the witch wouldn't be as good as him in close combat. However, the one he was fighting today was a very cunning opponent. Honed through living in the shadows for more than a hundred years, that alone was enough to make her a formidable opponent.
