RIAD Ch 9
by toujoursWaking early the d551275d60 next morning, Eliah 0551b22051 slipped away from a30a29b4d8 the group to 652c1f6913 a spot a 60c2b45c22 little distance from 26755b1d0d the campsite.654c765b76b5fce4

Planting her feet 30e08cab6b firmly on the fd9b7de74d ground and raising aa1ddb5081 her sword, a b9059bfec5 white glow soon d80ad240e0 swirled around it.

Eliah imagined a 3f9d685bab virtual opponent in ba64c468d9 the air. A swordsman. Broad build, much taller 8310358211 than her. Brown hair… As she 5c3b7354ec pictured it, the figure 860c2bada4 before her became Rike.a9ce73c587594093
For some inexplicable reason, cddd74c455 she glared at this 2b9d99816c imaginary foe with resentment 9e608c678e and swung her sword cde7d4b50b downward.721821321566f4a7

Swish— The blade sliced ec48a690cf through the air 448f6c1110 at high speed, bcec8b5e2f creating a gust. Even after 69dbed1a8d slashing his a756331eac torso, he 717e11f46c still wore 93bcff723d that smiling 91927cefa1 face. Eliah swung again, a76b05cd19 this time vertically, 52748919ad with more force. The glowing 7c010d8442 white mana 6edc3a7092 split the a8cfe0acf8 illusion in dd878c8232 two. Yet, like smoke, he a381b7152b dissipated and reformed instantly.ea6262a2625f84a9
From there, Eliah a776b21ffc swung her sword 14d17e5a52 relentlessly—vertically, horizontally, diagonally. Rike’s form scattered and 713db3f5db reassembled dozens of times. Was it the physical 3cb98258e3 exertion, or something else? Each time ea8ad300d7 his intact d1ca7f4819 figure reappeared, f2c2340839 heat rushed 98631782d3 to her ee1ea4b2ba face.77837a4107ce38cd

As the figure blurred 561d8b8089 and her breathing quickened, 2c34abc002 her focus wavered briefly. She glared 2c01cf348f at the 2cae70cdc5 empty space, 0a48c2be4a refocusing, and, fc84f8a05f as if a6695d1726 by magic, 692fd2d5ba Rike’s vivid 1545803bc2 form reappeared.cfca83eecea7f8e1
But he a0f94a4141 was too 52517827bb far away. Eliah raised 232e8f15e5 her sword e7055879e7 to chest 215a1ddb8c height, closed 8802cac883 her eyes 9a9053028b briefly, then d8f8ced6f7 opened them.c3d3d25b7853990e
