Aluvera - City Square[/center]
[hr]

The screeches of a few harpies cried overhead as a few running citizens scampered away in fear for their lives. One of which tripped and fell, a young child by the looks of it as the harpy talons borne swooped in, the child would recoil in fear for the inevitable, yet... It did not come. A flutter of feathers followed by the multiple thuds as something fell from the air. The boy would open their eyes and see a black cloaked man holding a katana in between them. One look from the man and the child slowly got up, before being ushered away by their parent.

[color=0054a6]"How curious, my body appears to simply move if I want to use my skills"[/color], he said to himself, as he made his way towards the city's square. Although... A monster attack in a sanctuary area, this was most certainly not part of the normal game, and the way the NPCs had reacted were far too advanced to be a scripted event, he had some knowledge of how games should work and... The technology should not be at this level yet.

As he slowly made his way towards the city square, he had the opportunity to test out his techniques and get a feeling for fighting. Given where they were, and assuming it was all 'real'... Fighting would be inevitable, made very apparent by this event. He can think about what has happened later, he thought to himself.

He soon found himself at the heart of the commotion, and there were already some people here fighting. Griffons and Sphinxes were present, a much greater foe than harpies. Given the strength of these enemies he should pick an enemy already being engaged with, and end them as soon as possible.

He looked around and saw another swordsman charging at a Sphinx, and took it upon himself to assist him.

Taking his katana in two hands he charged forward, [color=0054a6]"Myoujingiri!"[/color] He began to move quickly before disappearing into a blur, a flurry of slashes would make themselves visible followed by streaks of light lined up against the front legs and neck in various arrays, before he finally appeared at the front of the Sphinx. There was no tank holding the Sphinx's attention, and knowing that he aimed to end it as soon as he could.
