A Last Chance Gambit

The guards immediately rushed towards Ryan, unsheathing their swords and pouncing on him while activating their Skills.

Unlike their previous encounter with Ryan where they were caught off guard by the young man’s skill in using the blade, this time, they were prepared for it.

Fiery Blade!

Triple Slash!

Cutting Edge!

All of these Skills were activated as they came for Ryan, who now found himself getting locked up in battle.

That was until Joan suddenly appeared right in front of him. She held a dagger in each hand, her arms crossed together, forming an ‘X’, as her emerald green eyes sparkled with power.

“Dark Moon: Crescent of Blades!”

Joan unsheathed her daggers and activated her powerful Skill. It was a near-invisible arc only visible with the faintest glimmer of dark light, but her attack quickly struck all twelve of the guards and sent them flying off the hills.
