The Demon Queen's Knight Vol.2

Hammer vs Faceless Knight

It was night time, the hammer hero haruna is training at the training on the nearby forest swinging her hammer around and using her earth magic

Branwen, her rogue dark elf companion watching her train

"Haruna, you should rest, training like this won't help you much" said branwen while sitting in top of a tree 

"Then fight me, that would help a lot" said haruna as she look at the dark elf

"I'm a long range combatant and specialize in stealth, I won't do good in training if the person you'll fight is person that who is a straight up fighter haruna"

Haruna sigh "your right, and the king is also skillful with his axe"

While the two are talking 2 figures walk up to them in the shadows "I think I can help" said the person

Haruna and branwen looks and is ready to fight the person in the shadows

The person reveal himself on the moonlight, it was Luth with  kurumi

Haruna and branwen put their weapons down after seeing who it is

"Oh its just you" said haruna "help? So you will have a match with me?"

"Yep" said luth

Luth pull out iciel off her sheath and position himself in front of haruna

Kurumi Leaned onto the tree where branwen is sitting to watch the match against haruna and luth

Luth smiles and charges at haruna, he's fast but haruna can still see him

Haruna swings her hammer sideways to the left side, trying to hit luth as he charges

Luth stops his advance using his left leg, he slows his charge enough for him to use his other legs, kicking the ground to jump over haruna's hammer

Luth then tried to attack from above with  Downward slash to haruna's shoulder which Haruna barely block using her hammer's long handle

"Your control over your weapon is impressive" said luth while smiling at haruna

"I could say the same to you!" Haruna then pushes luth using her hammer before using earth magic lifting small pieces of sharp rocks and launching it over to luth

Luth knows this magic, it's called stone bullet

Luth dodges the stones and deflects the pieces that he cannot dodge

While he's doing it haruna charges straight ahead and swinging her hammer down full force at luth, luth jumps behind him to dodge the attack

When the hammer hits the ground, it's creates a crater and cracks

Luth smiles then talks "you are pretty strong, why are you worried that you'll lose?" Ask luth

"It's not about my strength that I'm worried it my skills, you've been dodging my attacks so easily" haruna answered

"It's just the difference of our speed, you are using a much more heavier weapon after all"

"Then tell me, how can increase my speed?" Haruna asked

"Eh?" Luth puts his hand on his chin and thinks "hey wait a second... Do you remember that time we first fight each other at the road?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"Why don't you propel yourself with earth magic, let the earth launch you to any direction you want"

At that moment haruna's eyes widened, she smiles "you are a genius! I have a idea now! Thanks!"

"Uhh, if it helps then your welcome I guess..so what will you do the idea I gave you?" Ask luth

Haruna smiled and put her hands on her waist "you'll see tomorrow!"
