/ Clang!/

" Hm?"

" You're pretty calm, aren't you?"

" Why wouldn't I be?"

" Because you're going to be captured and tortured after I'm done with you."

" Guess that means I have to beat you?"

/ CLANG! Thump!/

" Don't mock my ability by speaking such a lie. You're outclassed here; that's why you tried to kill us with that dirty tactic."

/ Thump! Clang!/

" Well, I certainly didn't like the odds of a direct confrontation, Fairsword."

" Fairsword? Hahaha... You really are out of your depth."

" Huh?"

For the first time during this fight, I became surprised. I've been trying to gain ground as we clashed swords, but the guy has been able to take what I've thrown at him. Just as I thought I created an imbalance with my words, the Elf stopped my attack and was able to land a punch to my head and send me back a small amount. I quickly got back to attacking. I called out what I thought his name was, but he just laughed at me... If that's the case...

" What's your name then?"

" Oh? Why do you look so concerned? Afraid of something?"

" Not of you."

" Oh? For someone else then? What deep bonds you must have! If you need to know so badly, its only polite to introduce yourself first, you foolish human."

" Figures you'd be the type."

" What type?"

* Push!*

He didn't seem to like that I was implying something negative about him... Maybe I need to use that? Either that or the battle that's going on around us? Elves and Demons were clashing all around us, thankfully, there's more of us than them, so it should be a pretty short battle. The Elves were trying their best, but we were able to slowly gain ground, bodies were beginning to fall to the ground, but I couldn't see any Demons on the floor. He tried to drive his blade into me with greater strength as we were locked in a stalemate, however, I can win a test of strength against something like this. So, I replied the only way I could.

* Push!*

" I meant you're an ass. My name is Matthew Drake, I'm a Marquess of Diablos!"

" Not just that, you're also a Paladin, a Heretic and a criminal running from justice!"

" Pretty sure Justice and the Divine are on my side if I'm a Paladin, buddy! Now what's your name, Elf?"

" It's Allen Lee, I'm a Lieutenant Colonel of the Great Alfheim Army! And I'm going to defeat you before Colonel Fairsword even has to grace you with his presence!"

Great, I was right... This guy isn't the one I was after... Dammit, if he's this annoying to deal with at this level, what does that mean about Fairsword? He's part of the same squad that Archer Leader was that I fought back in Alfheim. This doesn't make sense... Why is he like this? Well... Granted, I didn't get into a sword fight with the Archer for long, so I don't know how good of a Swordsman he is... Things to worry about later I guess, I need to focus on the current Elf in front of me.

/ Clang! Clang! Clang!/

It looks like he thinks that news is some earth-shattering revelation to me. At least that's what I'd think from these gigantic swings he's making... It's like he wants to corner me mentally with these physical attacks. It just means that I miscalculated a little. Either way, all this really means is that I'm going to bag 2 birds with one stone. I need to take this guy out fast!
