Clang! Clang!
As the clash of metal pressed against each other, sparks lit the entire place in brilliant light. Ilwoo continued to strike at the mysterious figures who came at him.
But as Ilwoo swung his sword, the figures quickly dodged his movement, landing just outside his sword's range.
"You are nimble as a snake."
Ilwoo dashed at the hooded figure, swinging his sword. But the figure fluidly dodged his attack, appearing behind him and raising its sword before Ilwoo could react.
Clang!
"…!"
The sword hit the blue barrier wrapped around Ilwoo. The figure was momentarily surprised, retracting its sword and stepping back, preparing its stance again.
"Did you think your surprise attack would work?"
"…"
"Fine, if you don't like to talk much, I'll make you speak."
Ilwoo recovered his stance, his sword pointed at the figure. Nine flame swords burst out, countless colorful flames flaring from the blade's edge. Lowering his stance, he glared intensely at the figure.
