War Grounds 62 SWORD SPIKES

Al was sure that Samurais don't have buff skills that allow them to walk on air unless they have one with their weapons or equipment. However, the pair of katanas in Battousai's hand seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

The boy immediately assumed that the Demon Samurai has a good grasp of a real-life technique that the latter had successfully integrated into the game. It was his explanation to himself on why Battousai did not receive any damage as he moved around with his feet barely touching the curved edges of the swords, creating an illusion that he was sky walking.

Wooosh! Woosh!

Flailed arrows followed the Demon Samurai as he charged towards Udil.

Battousai seemed to be walking on air as he quickly made his way towards Udil. Meanwhile, the latter could barely move through the narrows spaces between the swords as he blocked the rain of arrows with the flamberge-form of Bloodborne.

Unfortunately, every bump that Al made against the sharp blade of the swords decreased his HP by 1%. His HP was already down to 82% when Battousai finally arrived.

"Why do you have a hidden class?" The Demon Samurai with two katanas coldly asked as he suddenly slammed his weapon against Udil as if he was wielding a pair of a baseball bat.

Peng!

Udil instantly felt the vibration in his hand as he blocked the slash. The manner of the attack was wild, a very odd trait coming from a Samurai whose swordsmanship should usually be disciplined and composed.

'I need to get out of here.' Al quickly muttered to himself, unable to properly maneuver due to the surrounding sword spikes around him. He ignored Battousai's question.

Meanwhile, Battousai seemed to be a maniac as he kept on pounding his swords against Udil's flamberge. He used his opponent's weapon as a foothold as he kept himself afloat in the air.

Tsurugi!

Battousai, who was still in mid-air, suddenly used a skill. Two black sword lights came out from his katanas and crashed on Udil's seemingly helpless figure.

Blink!

Al immediately used his instantaneous movement skill to save himself from what seemed to be a dangerous attack. He aimed for the farthest portal in the right where his teleportation skill could reach. However, he suddenly found himself blocked by what seemed to be an invisible wall.

"We're not allowed to get out of this place; the two of us would have hunted you down a while ago if it was only possible." Battousai grinned. He was currently standing on the tip of a sword.

The portal was in midair, and Al was falling again, unable to materialize his plan - straight to the fangs of the numerous sword spikes.

'What to do?' Al gritted his teeth. The flamberge in his hand suddenly transformed into a staff.

Salamance!

While free-falling, Udil conjured three balls of white flames that started to form in front of his staff.

"Not good! Dream! Intercept him!" Battousai has long been cautioning against Udil's hidden class. It was the reason why he risked himself in clashing with the latter, to probe the unknown skills of his opponent. Unfortunately, the enemy above him seemed to be capable of changing classes.

Yumi!

The bamboo bow in Dreaming Blade's hand suddenly shimmered in black energy. A black sword-light started to materialize in his string.

Swoosh!

The sword-like black arrow swiftly shot forth as the space around its path vibrated.

Initially, Al intended to charge the skill before releasing it fully; however, at the face of what seemed to be a devastating projectile, he was forced to release Salamance prematurely.

Roar!

Three balls of white flame in the shape of a dragon's head roared as they shot out of Udil's staff.

Boom!

A massive explosion was triggered as Yumi and Salamance clashed against each other. Unfortunately, Yumi was a single target skill, and although its intensity seemed to be on the level of the white flames, it was still outnumbered by three to one, but it took two balls of fire to negate the skill entirely.

The surviving ball of flame continued to roar towards its original target - Battousai!

Blue Heart Puncture!

In response, Battousai suddenly changed his stance. Judging by the movement of the white ball of flame heading towards him, he knew that it was an unavoidable skill. He crossed his katanas together before extending them out, parallel to each other. A thin blue light, suddenly shot out from the space between the two swords, puncturing the white flame and its source - Udil.

Hit!

It was an exchange of skills - a tooth for a tooth.

Udil screamed as he was punctured by the blue light in his upper right shoulder, while the roaring white flame swallowed Battousai.

It was then that Dreaming Blade started to move from his safe space on top of the mini-hill. He too moved like Battousai, freely stepping on the tips of the swords as he rushed to enter the dissipating white flame.

Whooosh! Whhooosh!

Two figures suddenly emerged from the waning flames. They moved like a symphony. The pair of katanas held in their hands were hungry for Udil's life.

'Shit.' Al was just a few meters away from reaching the sword spikes."SARS, would you mind helping me here?"

[Loser's Call of Distress heard. I thought you don't need me anymore?] Fortunately, SARS instantly replied.

"Hehe. Hi buddy! Mind helping me with this one? Any suggestions?" Al halfheartedly laughed, guilty for his lack of communication with the robot lately. The good thing was that he asked for some tips instead of giving in to an autopilot.

[Survive for the next minute. I'll be back.] SARS' robotic icon grinned, seemingly impressed by the improvement of his master.

[Analyzing map, Suicide Forest...]

"One minute?" Al gulped down as his screen neared the sword spikes. The charging demon samurais were also closing the distance.

Splurge!

Udil's HP was now down at 73%, after absorbing the damage of his fall on the sword spikes.

Battousai and Dreaming Blade were just thirty body units away from his position, which was near the edge of the secret dimension.

Deck Slicer!

Udil's staff suddenly shimmered as magic-imbued cards fell out of the sky, bombarding the two samurais and delaying their progress.

Al took note that the sword spikes seemed to be indestructible as he started to squeeze his character around the narrow space of the maze that was formed by the surrounding blades.

He was running for his life.
