Epilogue Story 2: Pinnacle of a Sword Master

The Celebration lasted for two nights, and after it was over everyone went back to their ordinary lives... But Eloria was determined to surpass her master... And so she contacted Luyu, and declared a duel in a week. Eloria was not going to back down, she wanted to defeat her, and she needed to pull out everything she had at her disposal. They met at the peak of Mount. San, with others alongside them. Mainly Lumi, Nancy, Su-Bin, Chae-Yeong, Nam-Ari, Nina and Amelia.

Ever since Eloria defeated Nina, she did promise to take in disciples, and so Lumi and Nancy officially became Eloria's first and second.

Luyu stood across Eloria,

"So you got a disciple of your own."

Eloria nods, "Yeah..."

Luyu smiles, "I'm proud of you Eloria... You have grown into a fine woman... but small talk isn't why you called me up here isn't it?"

Eloria took a deep breath, "yeah... I'm here... here to challenge you!"

Su-Bin started to clap, "Let's go! Eloria go!"

Luyu grabbed the tilt of her sword, "And are you sure? I did hear you defeated Zephyr, arguably, Zephyr is stronger than Nina."

Nina stays silent, "..."

"More than sure."

Luyu looks towards Eloria's swords, "Hm, didn't think you would bring your trump card..."

Eloria held her Berserker Mask, and replaced Joyeuse with the Sword of Night; she needed to go all out. Luyu held her sword, for her she held an ungraded unnamed sword. Luyu stomped the ground with her feet, as suddenly cherry blossoms started to flow all around the mountain peaks.

Eloria grins, "So you are saying I'm worthy enough?"

Luyu closed her eyes, soon after an intense aura was coming from Luyu as she radiated a powerful energy,

"I won't be holding back..."

Amelia looked at Luyu, "it's been a while... since I've seen Luyu activate her phantom."

Lumi asks, "She has a phantom?"

Nina nods, "Well she doesn't use it out unless she sees someone worthy... Blossom of Flowers... It allows Luyu to summon cherry blossoms, and surround the limited area with hurricanes. These blossoms are used to block the opponents vision, while it doesn't have power, Luyu's main sword style revolves around these blossoms.

Amelia adds, "her phantom is actually really weak, in fact I remember when Luyu was frustrated because of how much of her phantom was weak... but over time she made use of it, and now... I'd say she has mastered its use."

Eloria held in her breath then exhaled, "I've only seen you use your phantom once... So it should be interesting."

Luyu chuckles, "I'll say, I had to go all out to defeat Zephyr..."

Eloria had no words... They glared at each other, as the cherry blossoms flew around them. Then suddenly, they both dashed towards each other and clashed, as they both received recoil, Luyu started making an array of slashs. With a graceful motion, she summoned a flurry of cherry blossom petals, obscuring Eloria's vision,

"Blossom Tempest Style: Petal Dance!"

Petals swirling like a storm around Eloria, making it difficult to predict Luyu's movements. Luyu's blades flickered through the haze, their swift strikes masked by the pink maelstrom.

Nina closes her eyes, "She is even using her own style..."

Nancy asks, "her own?"

Amelia nods, "All four... of us created one style each... Nina actually was the baseline for creating the Luna-Night Style, of course Luyu took that and perfected it. I alongside Crunch created the Moonlight Starblitz and Moon-Star Style. E. Vespertine created the Celestial-Dusk Style... And Luyu's own style, Blossom Tempest Style. It's a style that only Luyu can use."
