Chapter 171: Shadow Sword Against Ability Sword

Udana raises her sword. “Sword. Gold.”

Her blade glows gold as both fighters rush toward each other.

Emily and Udana clash swords head-on. Steel clangs as their blades grind together. They slash again and again, breaking contact only to collide once more, neither able to land a clean hit.

Emily suddenly slashes low toward Udana’s legs.

Udana reacts instantly, leaping upward and kicking Emily hard in the face.

Udana follows with a downward slash. Emily barely blocks at the last second. Udana smiles as a golden wave erupts from the point of impact.

The wave slams into Emily, ripping through her guard and sending pain through her body. She jumps back, boots skidding across the floor.

“As long as I use the gold ability, clinging our swords may not turn out well for you,” Udana says with a confident smile.

“Then I won’t,” Emily replies as she charges again. She fakes a slash high.

Udana raises her guard, but Emily instantly redirects, and her blade slashes across Udana’s arm.

Udana pulls her arm back. It’s bleeding but intact.

“I’m impressed that your arm was not taken off,” Emily says with a smirk.

“Yes,” Udana replies calmly. “My body is quite durable.”

She quickly grabs Emily’s arm, drives a knee into her gut, and slams her down onto the floor. Udana’s sword plunges toward Emily’s back.

Emily rolls just in time, the blade narrowly missing her. She springs back to her feet.

She attacks relentlessly, slashing again and again, deliberately avoiding direct clashes with the gold blade as she searches for an opening.

She commits to a powerful slash. Their swords collide. A golden wave detonates outward and smashes into Emily, sending her flying backward across the room.

Udana rushes forward, blade poised for a finishing stab.

At the last moment, Emily raises her leg.

Udana’s sword pierces into Emily’s foot. Pain explodes through her body. She screams as she swings her sword, not missing the chance to land her own attack. Her blade carves a deep gash into Udana’s leg.

“Aaahhh!!” Emily cries.

“Drrrrgaaahhh!!!” Udana screams.

Emily forces herself to stop screaming and slowly pushes herself upright. Udana staggers backward, clutching her wounded leg as blood spills freely.

Both women breathe heavily, clearly in agony.

“You’re a clever one,” Udana says between breaths. “Purposely taking a stab to your foot from my sword to land a good hit on me.”

Emily smiles through the pain. “It’s more than just a good hit.”

Black darkness begins creeping over the wound on Udana’s leg.

“I see…” Udana mutters.

“That should even the odds in this fight,” Emily says.

“I suppose you’re right,” Udana replies. “But my sword still has the power to put you down. Sword. Red.”

Udana’s blade changes color to a deep red glow.

“The power of my red sword is extreme,” Udana says. “No one has faced me and lived when I use my red sword.”

“Then I intend to be the first,” Emily declares.

“Oh really?”

Udana charges forward, her speed slightly reduced by her injured leg.

Emily raises her sword to block. She underestimates the power of the red sword as their swords clash violently, but she is blasted backward, her body slamming into the floor.

“You may now be in sudden death,” Udana says.

Udana now wields the strongest ability of her sword. The battle enters its final phase: sudden death.
