The Mask that was delivered to me

The Calm before the Storm

[Red's POV]

I stared at Lee Jeong Hun and revealed my weapon.

He readies his weapon as we both walked normally towards each other.

Without warning,

*Clank*

Both our weapons are stuck to each others.

I broke free from the clutch and swing my staff up.

[Bo Staff Technique: Up Strike]

Flinging my weapon from the bottom to the top, he parried it and start striking back with slashes.

I blocked and return it with a couple of hits.

These went on for at least 30 seconds with neither side letting go.

I step 2 step back and closed the gap with [Poke Thurst], he saw passed it and kick it upwards.

Now my entire weapon is flying above my head.

He pushed forward a lightning speed, trying to end it with a stab, I prepared my gloves and knocked it with the back of my hand to the side.

While the trajectory of the sword changes, changing the direction of motion with his immense reflections, he changed direction midway, counter-attacking with a [Hook Kick].

Bam-!!

I blocked it with my elbow and returned it with a [Right Roundhouse Kick].

With his back facing me, I for sure thought that I got him, but he rolled forward just before my kick could land on him.

While he rolled over, he tries to slice my foot off but I managed to notice it.

However, I jumped a bit too late and he managed to cut my thigh.

"Insane Battle Instinct."

[He's the strongest out of them all. You need to think before you execute a move.]

I checked the sword he was holding.

It's not normal, that's for sure.

[Geom. A double edge sword made in Korea. That weapon is crafted by mixing something that is not part of your world in it.]

"What do you mean?"

[That weapon's alive.]

[Judging by how he moves and fights, he's an all-rounder. Thou need to be ready at any time.]

He closed the gap between us for instance, slashing horizontally in the position of my eyes, I guard it and was going to hit back when he placed his palm on my chest and spoke softly.
