Chapter 123: An Earnest Battle

He began moving toward me once again.

His movements were as awkward as always, being extremely hard to read. However, I felt a little bit more comfortable since I was only watching his general flow. I rotated my sword a little bit to prepare for a block. 

He quickly closed the distance in an instant and swung at me. I managed to block his attack although it still knocked me off balance. He was very swift with his follow-up attack. The sword fell inches from my face and I barely managed to block it again.

I was once again on the defensive as I tried to create more distance between the two of us.

These elves were much better sword-wielders than the other humans I've fought.
