Stinging Butterfly managed to get a hit on the mage he was attacking. It seemed like she had already spotted him, though, and managed to mitigate the damage by moving away. [i][color=f7976a]No matter,[/color][/i] Carnel thought to himself as he landed on the ground. He moved in and lunged for another thrust, but he had not been expecting to get frozen, his blade falling short by centimeters. He had underestimated the mage, but he had underestimated her companion as well, having not anticipated her crashing through the ceiling to land an Icarus Strike on him. The blow took out a sizable portion of his HP, and he was sent flying, bouncing off the ground before regaining his footing and planted his feet firmly on the ground, sliding several more feet before finally stopping. He was quick to move once more however, being forced to dodge the pieces of debris being launched at him by the female Warrior. Now that he got a better look at her, he cursed his luck. It was Eclipse Princess. He knew of her reputation, but to think he would actually face her...

At the same time, though, he could not help but be excited. As a fighter himself, getting to fight someone like Eclipse was quite the treat. He would have preferred to be at a higher level first before actually fighting her, and perhaps learn more about her Abilities as well. He contemplated the thought of retreat for a moment, but that lasted only for a moment. Before doing so, he reasoned that he should test the waters first. Jumping over the next piece of debris thrown at him, Stinging Butterfly lunged towards Eclipse Princess without fear. He went in to deliver a number of thrusts, while also anticipating a counterattack the Berserker could throw at him.
