looked at Kraugel with a faint smile. "You're not bad."
Kraugel didn't reply. He adjusted his stance and steadied his breathing, ignoring the blood slowly dripping from his side. His focus sharpened, becoming calmer and more precise.
Fenrir noticed the change immediately. "…Oh?"
Kraugel stepped forward and then suddenly accelerated.
Clang—!
Their weapons collided again. This time, Kraugel's strike carried more weight and precision, pushing Fenrir's claw back slightly.
From the side, Asmophel narrowed his eyes. "…He's adapting."
Kraugel continued his assault.
Clang—! Clang—! Clang—!
Each strike connected smoothly into the next, his movements efficient and controlled. Fenrir blocked them, but he was forced to take a small step back.
"Now this is interesting," Fenrir said as his claws moved faster.
SHHK—!
He countered with a sharp slash aimed at Kraugel's neck. Kraugel leaned back just in time and avoided it by a narrow margin.
He stepped in immediately, closing the distance.
His sword shifted direction—
"Piercing Strike."
Clang—!
Fenrir blocked the thrust, but the force pushed him half a step back.
Fenrir let out a short laugh. "Good."
His expression changed, becoming more serious.
"Let's raise it a bit."
BOOM—!
He vanished from sight.
Kraugel reacted on instinct and raised his sword.
Clang—!!!
A heavy blow struck his guard, sending him flying backward. He landed and slid across the ground before regaining balance.
Before he could fully recover—
SHHH—!
Fenrir appeared again and attacked.
Kraugel blocked.
Clang—!
His arms trembled under the impact.
Fenrir pressed forward, his claw grinding against the blade.
"See the gap now?" he asked.
"…Yeah," Kraugel answered, tightening his grip.
Fenrir smiled slightly.
"Good."
BOOM—!
He pushed again, forcing Kraugel to slide back.
Kraugel stabilized himself and immediately stepped forward once more.
"Continuous Slash."
Clang—! Clang—! Clang—!
A rapid series of attacks followed, but Fenrir met them head-on, deflecting each strike with his claws.
SHHK—!
Fenrir shifted his position and struck from the side.
"Quick Guard."
Clang—!
Kraugel blocked just in time, though the force still pushed him back a step.
Both of them paused briefly.
Fenrir looked at him and nodded. "…That's better."
Kraugel took a breath and steadied himself again.
"…Again."
Fenrir's lips curved slightly.
"Again."
They moved at the same time.
Kraugel stepped forward first.
"Snow Drifting Steps."
His figure blurred as he closed the distance in an instant.
Clang—!
His sword struck toward Fenrir's shoulder, but Fenrir raised his claw and blocked it without difficulty.
SHHK—!
Fenrir countered immediately with a diagonal slash.
Kraugel twisted his body.
The claw passed close to his chest, cutting only his clothes.
He didn't retreat.
Instead—
He stepped in even closer.
"Double Slash."
Clang—! Clang—!
Two fast strikes followed. Fenrir blocked the first and shifted slightly to avoid the second.
"Not bad," Fenrir said as he moved forward.
BOOM—!
A straight punch came toward Kraugel.
Kraugel raised his sword.
"Guard Break Counter."
Clang—!
The impact echoed loudly. Kraugel was pushed back again, his feet dragging across the ground.
He stopped himself and immediately moved again.
No hesitation.
"Piercing Strike."
SHHK—!
The thrust was faster than before, aimed directly at Fenrir's chest.
Fenrir tilted his body slightly and caught the blade with his claw.
Clang—!
He pushed it aside and stepped in.
Too fast.
BOOM—!
His knee struck Kraugel's abdomen.
Kraugel's body bent slightly from the impact, but he forced himself to stay standing.
He jumped back, creating distance.
His breathing grew heavier now.
Fenrir didn't chase immediately.
He looked at him calmly.
"You're getting used to my speed," he said.
Kraugel didn't deny it.
"…A little."
He tightened his grip again and lowered his stance.
Then—
He moved.
Faster than before.
"Continuous Slash."
Clang—! Clang—! Clang—! Clang—!
A longer chain of attacks followed, each strike aimed at a different angle.
Fenrir blocked most of them, but one strike grazed his arm.
A thin line of blood appeared.
Fenrir glanced at it briefly.
Then smiled.
"Good."
His speed increased again.
BOOM—!
He stepped forward and disappeared.
Kraugel reacted—
But not fast enough.
SHHK—!
A claw cut across his shoulder.
Blood splashed.
Kraugel staggered back but didn't fall.
He raised his sword again.
"Quick Guard."
Clang—!
He blocked the next incoming strike.
The force pushed him back several steps.
Both of them stopped again.
For a moment, only the sound of their breathing remained.
Asmophel watched silently from the side, his expression serious.
"…He's holding on."
Fenrir looked at Kraugel and nodded once.
"You can keep going?"
Kraugel wiped the blood from his mouth.
"…Yeah."
Fenrir's smile returned.
"Then come."
Kraugel didn't wait.
He stepped forward again.
They moved at the same time.
Kraugel stepped forward first.
"Swift Step."
His figure blurred as he closed the distance in an instant.
Clang—!
His sword struck toward Fenrir's shoulder, but Fenrir raised his claw and blocked it without difficulty.
SHHK—!
Fenrir countered immediately with a diagonal slash.

Faster than before.
"Roaring Tiger Slash."
Clang—! Clang—! Clang—! Clang—!
A longer chain of attacks followed, each strike aimed at a different angle.
