The Moonlight Swordsman

One by one, the medium-sized black monsters that looked like cats started to attack Edumond from all sides.

Their long claws hit Edumond's sword with fury, making a lot of noise as they did so. 

He deflected their strikes with skill and hit back with quick cuts of his own.

There are so many of them; is she summoning them from nearby?" Edumond thought at the same time. 

As Edumond fought the cat monsters, he used his mana senses to look for Katty.

However, all of the cat monsters had the same mana signature and aura as Katty, which made it harder and harder for him to tell and search.

In an instant, lightning bolts came at Edumond from all different directions in the forest. The cat monsters kept attacking without stopping, making it hard for Edumond to protect himself from both the monsters and the lightning hits. 

It was clear that Katty had planned a continuous attack, which made it hard for Edumond to stay alive.

A powerful burst of fire magic pushed back the relentless cat monsters that had circled Edumond for a moment. The flames from Edumond's sword made the creatures run away in a panic. The fire on the forest floor lit up the night sky like a burning lighthouse.

*Cling*

Suddenly, Edumond heard a noise, and his senses screamed.

Katty moved like lightning through the chaos. She ran toward Edumond, her silver hair trailing behind, her daggers crackling with electric energy. 

As she danced through the shadows, the leaves rustled, and her moves were almost too quick to follow.

Edumond fought back with a wave of fire that surrounded him like a shield. The fires roared, keeping the cat monsters away and illuminating the dark woods.

As the fire went out, Katty rushed again, her shape blurry as she closed the gap in an instant. 

Edumond swung his sword well, but Katty evaded it, her daggers flashing like lightning as they collided with his opponent's weapon.

"You've got some pretty good skills," Edumod commented.

Without responding, Katty started to attack.

As they fought, sparks and shadows flew everywhere and echoed through the forest. When lightning and fire met, they did so with a fierceness that set the night sky on fire. As their energies collided, the foliage on the trees caught fire, and the branches snapped.

But Katty was very persistent. She moved like a ghost and attacked from different directions at the same time. Her lightning spells hit Edumond's fiery shields and made bright light shows that made the forest look like it was a stormy night. 

Their fight had turned into a dance of elements, a show of strength and skill that got more intense as time went on.

The blade of Edumond's sword slammed down hard on Katty's head in an attempt to kill her in one strike.

With remarkable agility, Katty raised her left hand, intercepting the blow and simultaneously incending her body with lightning. 

She spun quickly, planning to plunge the second knife in her right hand into Edumond's stomach.

However, Edumond burst into flames and deftly evaded her attack.

Katty's mana senses quickly expanded, and she could feel the flames rekindling as Edumond's shape began to take shape.

In reaction, she ran forward at lightning speed with two of her other cats on either side of her.

Both cats jumped at Edumond at the same time. With skilled precision, he parried their clawed strikes. 

But in a split second, Katty was right behind him.

Her lightning-charged daggers hit with deadly accuracy, but Edumond dodged both the daggers and the combined attack of the cats with amazing ease.

Edumond summoned a furious firestorm that engulfed him, driving the cats and Katty back from the intense heat and whirling flames.

*Tsk* This guy," Katty thought in annoyance.

"Now it's my turn," Edumond said.

The roaring wildfire turned into a fiery tornado with flames that got stronger as time went on. From its center, fireballs started falling like fiery meteors, setting everything on fire in their path.

It was now impossible for the cat monsters to remain hidden in the forest's undergrowth.

The fire-starting flood burned up the surviving trees, plants, and cats, leaving only smoldering ashes behind.

Katty moved quickly through the fire. Her moves were like a bolt of lightning zigzagging through a forest on fire.

"Here I Come," Meanwhile, Edumond's voice echoed from the inferno. 

In an instant, the fiery inferno wrapped itself around Edumond's body and sent him hurtling toward Katty like a burning comet, leaving behind fiery trails in the night sky.

"What the fuck is that?" Katty murmured as she turned her head backward to see Edumond coming at her at full speed.

Katty quickly drew her two daggers together, the blades of each one glistening and buzzing with electric force.

With a powerful motion, she unleashed a colossal lightning slash that surged directly toward Edumond.

The lightning slash moved quickly toward the fiery comet, but when it hit Edumond, it broke apart and disappeared suddenly, as the flames burned even brighter.

In a single second, the fiery comet crashed into Katty, who bravely used her daggers to block the attack. 

But the force was so strong that it threw her into the half-burning forests, where she crashed into bushes, dirt, and trees.

"Damn it...." 

Slowly pulling herself out of the mud, Katty saw a strange scene. The calm night had turned into a sea of orange flames. 

Her pupils dilated as she took in the sight of the enormous ball of fire floating above the forest floor. 

It was so big that it turned night into day and filled the area with a bright, burning light.

The heat got so bad that she couldn't stand it and started sweating like a river. Even her silver fur began to singe and curl in the searing heat.

"Let's see how you handle this," Edumond said as he released the huge fireball towards Katty.

Edumond sent a huge fireball, which looked like a blazing sun, flying toward Katty with all his might. 

Every bush and tree caught fire after it, and the raging inferno consumed them all. The ground upon which it traversed turned ashen black, devoured by its scorching touch.
