He Must Die

This discovery left Vilgefortz more puzzled than ever. Had Olivia taken sword lessons from within her mother's womb? Nobody gained this much experience without going through life and death many times over. What exactly had she experienced after they separated?

A person may be skilled and talented, but experience still mattered the most. Cirilla was agile and skilled, but Vilgefortz's experience still gave him the edge, even against her formidable "blink" skill, only a handful of people across the land could bring her down…

Vilgefortz was a master of both might and magic. He could keep Cirilla at bay. He had planned to take Olivia out and then bask in Cirilla's anguish. Surely she would start to slip up and make more mistakes. He could then knock her out and take her away.

The plan had been perfect -- if he had not underestimated Olivia's capability. He had never thought that a trashy sorceress without any power in her bloodline to be this capable!
