No one's POV

As both Nhazul and Kang starred off with each other, Nhazul quickly lunged forward his dagger in hand, however Kang effortlessly turned his head and dodged the attack. Quickly retaliating, Kang would attempt to bring down one of his own daggers upon Nhazul's head, however Nhazul quickly parried it.

Not a second later, both daggers collided with each other in a constant accompaniment of screeching and metal hitting metal as the two sped around the room, dodging and countering in turns. With Hajime, as he continued to attempt to free the girl, he would glance back at the ongoing fight.

Hajime: The hell?! They're not even usually skills, that's just their raw speed...

With Nhazul, as he continued trading blows with Kang, he would narrow his eyes.

Nhazul's thoughts: This thing is strong... But it won't matter... It's going to die all the same!

Breaking their clash, Kang would glance back and notice that Hajime was busy breaking the girl out with his [Transmute] skill, leaving her wide open. Jumping to the side and barely landing on one leg before the other touched the ground, he blitzed towards the girl.

Nhazul: Shit!

Seeing this, Nhazul would leap in front of her, taking the blow aimed at her, surprising her.

Hajime: Nhazul!

Nhazul would quickly swipe his dagger attempting to hit Kang, however he would quickly jump back, avoiding the strike. As this happened, the girl continued to look at Nhazul shocked he protected her.

???: Why did you...?

Nhazul: Able to heal from it or not, I'm not going to let him hit a defenseless target...

As Nhazul quickly lunged at Kang once again, he saw that he had vanished before his very eyes, surprising him.

Nhazul: What?

Hajime: He vanished?!

Nhazul didn't have time to think about it for long when he felt a blow coming from his right side of his face. He managed to block the blow even though he couldn't see his enemy.

Kang's vanishing act had initially taken him by surprise, however Nhazul would compare it to Endo's skill.

Nhazul's thoughts: This is much like Endo's [Camouflage] skill... But this is far superior...

Focusing his senses, Nhazul could still sense his presence, blocking some of his hits.

Nhazul's thoughts: Not only sight... But smell, aura, and even all sounds...

Soon, Nhazul felt something slash his leg, along with the muscle, forcing him to a knee.

???: No!

Hajime: Nhazul!

Nhazul's thoughts: Damn it... He cut the tendon...

Quickly thinking what he could do, his mind would drift to his rewards he has gained through his Daily Quest, remembering one of them and using it.

Nhazul: [Full Recovery].

Suddenly, Nhazul was enveloped in a bright light, healing him of the wound on his chest and the one on his leg. Seeing this, Hajime and the girl looked in disbelief.

Hajime: The hell?! You can instantly heal yourself?!

As Nhazul stood back up, he would stand in place and waited. A moment later, Nhazul would effortlessly deflect oncoming strike.
