Chapter 753: The Dagger Mastery Aspect

Orion stabbed his dagger forward, and the ringing of metal hitting against metal sounded out as Eiro caught the attack. The demon quickly countered with a second dagger strike, but Orion slightly bent his body. Eiro stabbed through the dagger master's clothes, barely missing his skin.

With a quick slash, Orion created a deep cut in Eiro's arm, and as the blood flowed out, the master quickly flicked his wrist, throwing droplets of blood into Eiro's eyes. Usually, he would make those swerve out of the way with magic, but he wasn't allowed to use magic right now. The rules for this duel were simple.

Pure, unadulterated dagger combat. The only thing that was allowed was life force manipulation, since that was a large part of Orion's techniques. And Eiro watched closely as the dagger master manipulated said life force. It was... almost like a form of art. Ripples of energy flowing through that old man's body like raindrops hitting a still lake.
