Vance was locked in a duel with the young man. He continuously clashed his blade against the opponents', all while avoiding the spells cast by the old man. He needed to find the best opportunity to fully make his move. He noticed that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other's combat styles. As if they had been partners for a long time. Seeing this, Vance realized that in order for him to gain an opportunity to strike, without gaining an opportunity to use his regeneration abilities, he would need to throw off just one of the two's combat rhythm. To do so, he first started off with trying to disturb the young man's mind through words.
"So, you're this weak that you need to have another person in order to let you just tie with me? All while I'm still holding back? How pathetic. I bet you're disappointed in yourself right now. I would be too. You weak little shit."
Hearing these words that clearly targeted the sore spots of a youth with something to prove. He immediately became angry. His combat flow started to change away from what the old man was used to. Seeing an opportunity to strike, Vance ducked the young man's sword sweep, that was aimed at his head, and immediately charged towards him. Once he got close enough, he sent out a brutal punch to the young mans' solar plexus, winding him instantly. The old man, upon seeing this, seemed to become panicked. He quickly attempted to cast a spell to separate the two of them. Vance hit the young man on the temple with a right hook, knocking him out. He then spoke to taunt the old man.
"Ah, the arrogance of youth right? I'm sure an old soul like yourself won't have any problems beating me right? I mean, aren't I just a weak kid? I'm sure you thought so as well. But the thing is, I'm no ordinary kid." Vance smirked playfully at the old man, who began to fear the unknown variable that was Vance.
"What do you want from us kid? To kill us? To piss off our Kingdom? Or our souls?"
Vance hearing these options, chuckled.
"Well I did want to kill you, but I'm no bloodthirsty maniac. To be entirely honest, I could destroy your whole kingdom without killing anyone. I kill when I feel necessity. And the way it's going, I feel like I wanna question you all more so than kill you. As for taking your souls... I'll have to work on a way to do something like that, because that sounds pretty badass. But before any of that, I guess I'll wrap this fight up quickly."
Vance then sped towards the old man, all while using magic to make a cloud of knockout gas that would take effect instantly. Upon reaching the old man, Vance used Wind Magic to make the gas surround the old man's head, not allowing him to escape it. Once the old man passed out, Vance chuckled lightly.
"It feels good to fight again."
