Kirito who was crouching on the floor suddenly became a gust
of wind and leapt out.

It was a downwards slash from the right without any trickery
or even secret moves. However, the blade moved at an appalling
speed that appeared hazy even in Eugeo's eyes. It was like a
miracle instead, that Fanatio managed to parry it in time with her
heart thrown in disarray. Gaan! An ear-piercing impact echoed
through the hall, scattering sparks that vividly illuminated the
pair's faces for a moment.

Fanatio skillfully stopped the slash near her slender sword's
guard, but she could not soak up the brunt of the charge and was
forced back several steps. Kirito locked their swords together
and jostled into the female knight's slender body without
slackening the pressure. Fanatio's knee, clad in purple armor,
began to bend slightly.
