Veralth was not the strongest sword master in the clan, she didn't receive much attention so she got the very least. She already even surpassed him, but that was when she was fully armed and could use her enigma.
Currently she couldn't use her enigma and as for a weapon… this is the first time she decided to step out without it, a foolish mistake.
Layla went underneath another swing set to avoid Veralth's approaching blade and just like the last one this one was split in two.
Veralth was swinging his sword with shaky hands, his movements were messy and his attack patterns were flawed. He was far from the man she knew.
Still, his swings still carried an unnecessary amount of force, she had to be smart in dealing with him.
As blood dripped down his face Veralth moved with a maddening glint in his eyes, there was no reason in those pupils, just pure killing intent.
