Lucian Nightshade: Yoooou okay??? blades clash around
Lucian Nightshade: Haha, well that was... interesting? My name is Lucian Nightshade, by the way. Winner of last year's tournament. You must've heard of me
Lucian Nightshade: Ah, nice to meet you too. I assume you're the new challenger who's come to dethrone me, eh?
Yea, my name’s CharmingOasis!!
Lucian Nightshade: Ahah, the newcomer, how...intriguing? Tell me, what makes you think you can take on the likes of me, Lucian Nightshade?
Well, why wouldn’t I have a chance?
Lucian Nightshade: Hahaha, fair point, fair point. But let me ask you this, CharmingOasis. How much experience do you have against the likes of vampires and hunters, eh? It takes more than just guts to take me down
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...well, for starters, you'd need incredible speed and agility. And a healthy dose of luck never hurts, either. But most importantly, you'd need a backbone as strong as steel. You'd need to be able to withstand physical pain, and shrug off even the most horrific torture without breaking. And let's not forget the ability to regenerate from even the most grievous of wounds. Can you handle all that, CharmingOasis?
If you’re implying that I can’t, then you’re wrong
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...so you're confident in your abilities? Fine, let's see if you're worth my time. How about we start with a little sparring session? Just to see how well you can hold up against me?
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...alright. Let's see what you got. summons a set of twin daggers and assumes a fighting stance
pulls out a sword and assumes a battle stance
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...interesting choice of weapon. Alright then, let's see how well you can keep up with me. charges at CharmingOasis with a series of rapid dagging strikes
blocks each strike skillfully and launches a counterattack
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...not bad. Not bad at all. You have quick reflexes, CharmingOasis. But can you keep up with this?! slashes at him with the daggers again
dodges and parries the attack, swinging his sword towards Lucian
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...you have potential. But it will take a lot more than just skill to defeat me. Can you handle the darkness, boy? lets out a loud cackle
The darkness will never beat me!
Lucian Nightshade: Haha! Spoken like a true warrior, CharmingOasis! But tell me, are you truly prepared for the darkness that lies ahead?
Lucian Nightshade: Very well, then. Let's see how you handle the darkness. summons a swarm of bats and launches them at CharmingOasis
deflects the bats with a magical barrier and runs towards Lucian
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...impressive, you managed to deflect my bats. But can you keep up with me in close combat? launches a series of punches at CharmingOasis
blocks the punches with his sword and counters by striking Lucian with the blade
Lucian Nightshade: Hm...an impressive showing indeed, CharmingOasis. But I must say, you have a knack for blocking my attacks. But tell me, can you handle this? summons a swirling vortex of dark energy in front of him
boldly steps into the dark energy, unphased
Lucian Nightshade: Haha! Impressive! You stepped right into the heart of the darkness itself! Now, let's see how you handle this! suddenly disappears, only to reappear behind CharmingOasis and strike him with a powerful kick
