Challenge Accepted

Cheng Xiu used her sword to attack the NPCs. Perhaps it was because they were too into their own fights, or because the difficulty of the level was set for lower, her attack landed on the NPC that attacked her before in the shoulder, creating a large gash on her shoulder blade.

The green-robed woman backed away, raised her hand and opened her book. She muttered a spell from it.

A golden geometric circle appeared under the woman's feet and a golden shield erected around her, protecting her from the onslaught of the weapon.

The woman next to her also created a golden barrier around her.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiu felt into a complicated mood. She was not sure how she should take in the fact that the second NPC did the same thing as the first NPC even though Cheng Xiu's attacks were focused on the first one.
