The Story of Lunar (Female Harem x Cross Dressing Male Reader)

Chapter 24: Salty Swordsmanship

Your POV

This is not my first time facing off against Raven. Her samurai skills are completely strong with her higher agility and strength. For me, I only use my bastard sword as a swordsman. I managed to withstand many blows from her, but my stamina is being chipped away time-to-time.

My eyes are still closed while mimicking her passive talents. I can sense a wind movement coming straight at me, but it's faster than before. The blade is becoming powerful as well. Is she...!?

"Katana Stance, Wind Art: Hurricane Blade Storm!" Raven swiftly makes a barrage of quick slashes while creating multiple powerful wind blades. It's fast and it's so thick! I can't even dodge them in time. I grip my sword for a deflecting slash against each projectile. I strike at one of them but a stronger force of the blast pushes me back.

"This is...!" I impale my sword to the ground to reduce knockback speed with my landing with my two feet. I look up but she's gone. I can't hear her footsteps, but the wind current is super fast that I couldn't see her...! "Another move, from the side around me...!" I see the line of wind direction that her katana comes straight at my sides. I turn myself right and the vision of sensory spots a thin wind coming towards my face. I hold up the blade right before her attack strikes. The impact forces me to move back. Her bash attack with her fist coming to my right waist. The damage is so powerful, I can't even recover that fast before her...!

A vertical slash from above!

...!

"He can block it in that state?!" Raven smashes her katana against my sword while I tried to endure the pain from my right waist.

"(I have to do something to fight back or else I'll get crushed!)" I adjust the angle of my blade while having her katana sliding down to the tip of my sword. "(Then I just need a full-strength against her opening-no, she's more powerful than I thought because of her samurai skills that sensed my attack patterns...! However...)" I thought. She's behind me while she has been dragged down with her katana. "(I can't lose here!)" I lunge my body quickly with a sword thrust towards her back. I have my aura awakened to my sword while it started glowing azure blue. My attack goes fast before she could act. "(I have to win!)"

"...Gale Break: Blooming Crimson!" She unleashes her breaker skill, which deflects my sword attack instantly. She protects herself from the wind while having fire bursting out around her body as a barrier. My power is already started to drain as I continue standing. "So you decided to attack me by the opening with that?" She stood up while I have my sword holding back. She looks at my sword glowing with an aura blade coming out from it. "Not bad, but that will only cost you!" She rushes in with her katana now being engulfed with her blazing blade. I step up with my speed starting to match up with her.

The blazing auras being clashed together creates several shockwaves throughout the field. Raven's fast with her faster attack mobility that overrides mine. She has her katana in two hands while having her agility higher than mine. If it comes with aura control, then I too will speed up my sword mobility as well!

"...!?" Raven's katana mobility is spiking. I parried one of her attacks and I begin to speed up my sword mobility to catch up with her limit. I start with two hands to the grip while maintaining my tension while reducing the pressure. I rapidly swing horizontally while crashing against her blazing katana with one hand and with a combo spin. I almost manage to push her back. Now, I can move forward and-!"Ancient Square: Spiral Blaze!" She makes a swift slice that forms a vertical square while the blazing effect bursting me back. I defend with the sword while absorbing the elemental effects. I charge up my strength for a powerful sword skill. She rushes in but having me unleash my aura that is overloading. "What!?" She's being pushed back.
