Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Paladin’s Advantage

"Please!" Anfey said, holding his hands out .

Suzanna smiled and bowed to Anfey . Anfey took a few steps back and, before Suzanna could react, jumped towards her and kicked at her chest .

Suzanna had always thought Anfey was fair, so she did not expect him to attack before she was ready . She was still a grand swordswoman, though, and easily avoided the attack .

"That’s cheating," Suzanna complained .

Anfey grinned but did not say anything . He drew his sword and jumped at Suzanna again without warning .

Suzanna blocked his attack with her sword . Their swords clashed, and both jumped back a few paces . Anfey attacked again, and this time he did not back down . Instead, he kept moving closer to her and his sword was held level at her throat .

Suzanna frowned, summoned her combat power, and burst into light . She did not move, but Anfey’s sword was thrown back . Then she flicked her wrist and sent an arc of sword radiance after Anfey .

Suzanna went on the offensive while Anfey changed to defense . He avoided exchanging blows with Suzanna head on and chose to attack her from the side or from the back . Anfey knew his own strength, and he knew that it would be unwise to try to fight with a grand swordswoman head on . There was too big of a difference between Suzanna’s combat power and his power .

The first time Ernest had practiced with Anfey, Ernest felt very uncomfortable, but that did not show in his fighting . Ernest was a top level power, and he had enough experience to adapt to anything that was unfamiliar to him . Suzanna knew Anfey’s style of fighting . His style might have been confusing to others, but not to her .

Suzanna spun around as Anfey snuck around her and tried to stab her in the back . She could tell that he was already moving to her left . She was holding her sword in her right hand and she would have to turn right in order to block his sword quickly . This was why he was moving to her left .

Suzanna knew his method of attack, and she had been pretending to fall for it in order to lower his defenses .

Suzanna blocked Anfey’s sword, then quickly turned to her left and slashed her sword at Anfey’s neck .

Anfey did not expect her to realize what he was doing and did not move out of the way in time . Suzanna’s attack threw him back and sent him crashing to the ground .

"You lost," Suzanna said .

"Not yet!" Anfey said . Instead of jumping up and lunging at her again, he remained close to the ground . He kept trying to attack her legs and ankles, but did not stand up .

Suzanna frowned . She had a lot of ways to attack a person, but she did not know how to attack someone who was attacking her while staying close to the ground .

She couldn’t attack him, but Anfey could attack her . His attacks restricted his movement, but no matter what she did, she felt strange having someone stabbing at her feet .

Suzanna sighed and jumped forward, landing a few paces away . Anfey watched her and grinned . "Come," he said, without getting off of the ground .

Suzanna snorted, and her sword burst into light . She waved her sword, sending sword radiance hurling towards Anfey .

Anfey flew up and moved out of the way of her attack . A moment later, he landed on the ground again .

"Come here!" Suzanna said angrily . She was not used to losing and was getting angry . She was trying hard to think of a way to defeat Anfey . She was like Ernest and was not used to his way of attack . Also like Ernest, she could quickly adapt and change her tactics .

Anfey grinned and dashed towards Suzanna, still staying low .

Suzanna grinned as well . Her sword glowed and she waved it, sending a large sword radiance flying towards Anfey . She needed to control the distance between her and Anfey .

Anfey jumped off of the ground, trying to duck . He knew that whatever he did, he could not touch the sword radiance . If he did, he would lose .

Before he could land on the ground again, Suzanna sent another sword radiance after him . Anfey retreated, staying away from Suzanna’s sword .

Suzanna had speed, patience, and strong combat power . Nothing could touch her unless she wanted it to . Anfey jumped up and down outside the net of combat power, but he could not approach Suzanna .

Although Anfey had a strange way of fighting and some strange ideas, he was still not as powerful as Suzanna . He was fast, but Suzanna was equally fast .

He knew that Suzanna could not keep this up for long, but this was not a fight to the death, and he did not need it to be too serious . Anfey took a deep breath and backed away, then he waved his hand and summoned a large wall of earth .

Suzanna grinned . She dashed towards the wall, but before she could reach the wall, she felt a familiar surge of magic . She frowned, and before she could react, someone grabbed her from behind .

"You lost!" Anfey said with a wide grin .

Suzanna stomped her foot angrily . "That was unnecessary," she said, shaking her head .

Before Anfey could say anything, a voice distracted them . Ozzic was hurrying towards them, waving his arms . "Lord Anfey!" Ozzic called . "Something’s wrong!"
