Frey' aura changed suddenly changed and it became something like that of her spear. Adrian could feel that he is being pierced by a spear even though he is just looking at Frey. Warriors are quite different from other classes because they could become reliant on three types.
Warriors could be reliant on mana which are said to be more flexible in terms of skills. There are warriors that use stamina to power up skills and they are the durable ones. The rarest of all warriors is the ones who rely on sword energy.
Sword energy is a unique energy that is self-generating and would be used instead of mana to power skills. This specific energy also has a passive effect to increase the damage of warriors by a percentage dependent on their mastery of it. Sometimes people just call it aura but that is too much of a general term.
Frey had this reddish aura around her acting like a film protecting her. Adrian is keeping a close eye on her but she suddenly disappeared from his sight. The next thing he knew is that he is hit in the right side of his body and is knocked down.
Before Frey could continue her combo, Adrian used his last charge of Blink before it goes into cooldown to dodge. A good attempt but Frey once again disappeared from her position and appeared beside Adrian. She did an upward swing with her spear and this time it is Adrian that is sent flying.
Adrian unfurled his wings to control his aerial maneuverability so that he will not get out of the ring. He is shocked because just that attack dealt ten percent of his total health. Adrian did damage Frey but he only damaged her by five percent of her total health. A match of attrition is in Adrian's favor and would be his downfall.
Adrian had a smile on his face though because he is learning of all the things he lacks in this fight. Adrian lacks ways to keep melee enemies away from him after he exhausted his movement skills. Adrian thought if he should use Nether Domain but decided not too since this is just sparring.
Adrian wanted to compare himself to one of the best melee players by just relying on himself and not his soulbounds. Adrian is thinking of the instances where he might get separated with his soulbounds and he must rely on himself. This would be a test towards himself on how good he really is.
"Savage" Frey stated.
The red aura around Frey became darker in hue and even her spear is now coated with violet sparks. Adrian did not idle by as this is happening as he is casting spacemines all over the battlefield. He would detonate them once Frey touches one of the spacemines.
"I need to knock her back up to initiate the spear skill combo." Adrian thought but it is easier said than done.
"Why don't you use your summons? Are you thinking lightly of me which is why you are not summoning them?" Frey taunted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"If I use them then the battle would hardly be fair. I also want to know how far my individual skill will take me against you." Adrian replied and said no more.
Frey too did not say anymore as she does not care too much if her opponent will not utilize his full arsenal. The only thing she needs to do is to win and prove herself to the other Valkyries. Frey charged once more but this time a small crater is left when she stomped her foot on the ground.
"Chrono Shift" Adrian stated and he made himself faster to see where Frey's attack will come from.
Frey's attack came from behind Adrian this time as she wanted to impale Adrian. Adrian managed to evade but Frey's attack is unrelenting as she continued to use piercing attacks at him. Adrian can only dodge for now and keep his distance but he does counterattack if he can.
Adrian had to admit that in terms of skill using the spear then he pales in comparison to Frey. She is a veteran in using the spear while Adrian is more like a learned beginner. Once Chrono Shift lost its effect, Adrian could no longer follow up to Frey and he is getting battered left and right like a baseball.
Fortunately, the buff skill affecting Frey ended and Blink can now be used once again. Adrian used Blink and followed with Rising Star. Adrian sent Frey flying to the air but she adjusted herself to land faster to the ground. Before Frey could land though, Adrian used the second skill attached to his spear.
"Spiral Galaxy" Adrian stated as he positioned himself where Frey would land.
Adrian held the middle part of his spear and twirled it. A pattern of a spiral galaxy is made using the twirling spear. Frey wanted to dodge but she is being sucked by a pulling force from the skill that Adrian used.

Frey is currently trapped in the crowd control so Adrian used that chance to test the last skill of the spear psyche armament. Adrian attacked Frey a few times before he activated the last skill of the spear psyche armament.
"Centaurus" Adrian stated as he flew to the sky.
The spear glowed in a violet light as it became coated in blue fire. The Spiral galaxy Crowd control also tightened more. Frey could only hope that she will not get damaged heavily or else she might lose. The surroundings of Adrian became like that of the starry night sky.
The skill effect made Adrian turn into a constellation and he launched the spear to Frey who is currently trapped. The spear also became supersized as it became five meters. Anyone who sees a giant spear heading towards them would definitely be afraid but Frey looked determined.
The giant spear shot towards Frey and the effect of the collision looked like a star exploded. It looked awesome but Adrian did not smile because he saw Frey still standing with still more than half her health. The odd thing is that Frey no longer had a weapon on her. Her spear is missing but Adrian soon learned where her spear went.
Frey's spear shot towards Adrian and pierced him in the stomach. The force sent him flying outside the designated arena and he is now pinned to the wall. He tried pulling out the spear but he gets damaged by the special effect of the spear called Thorn's Embrace.
Thorn's Embrace makes it so that anyone other than Frey who grabs the spear would get damaged every time someone's get in contact. The damage is not miniscule because it would drain 1% maximum health per five seconds. The drained health is then transferred to the wielder of the spear which is Frey.

"Well that is depressing." Adrian stated as Levin Cloud healed him back to health.
"I would be more depressed if you managed to win. You did not use your soulbounds so you do not need to be too sad. Loser. Kek" Levin Cloud retorted while teasing his best friend.
"At least I know what I lack. Also the new and improved sync rate is much better than I expected. It lets me react much faster or is it just in my head?" Adrian stated as Frey went towards the two.
"Dude, she is coming towards us. What do I do?" Levin Cloud whispered to Adrian as the former became fidgety.
"Act natural and cool. Ladies love that. According to the internet anyways." Adrian whispered back.
"Thank you for the match. I have tested my weapon thanks to you." Frey stated as she held her hand out for a handshake.
"It was also a pleasure battling you. I have learned quite a lot." Adrian replied as he shook Frey's hand.
Frey then returned to the group of Valkyries and it looked like they were praising her efforts. The Valkyries then bowed towards Aurgelmir and the frost giant just gestured with his hand in return. The Valkyries are now ready to depart as they have gotten what they came for.
The other Valkyries never bothered to say goodbye to the two best friends and just glanced at them as the Valkyries summoned each of their mounts. The Valkyries finally left using an entrance located at the top of the mountain. The Valkyries were already about a mile away when Brunhild suddenly thought she forgot something.
"I think we forgot about something important." Brunhild stated but she cannot point her finger on what they forgot.
Meanwhile back at the forge where Aurgelmir is already talking with Adrian, Eir just returned.
"Where are my sisters!?" Eir exclaimed.
"They left about five minutes ago." Levin Cloud stated as he pointed where the other Valkyries exited.
