Lord Guesty

I'm Lord Guesty, a Deputy Owner in my clan. I was wearing my complete Lunar Set with the Lunar Ring imbued, and I held my two magic books – the Tome of Frost and Mages' Book – in my left hand. I watched as the battle raged on. Leaf was still killing Unholy Darkness's warriors by the dozens. His Steel Titan was crushing them, and Leaf was brushing off attacks like they were mosquito bites, which may have been due to his Steel Titan boosting his defense. The battle had been going well, especially when one considered we were going against the strongest clan in history. I continued watching the battle when I jumped up, and looked down to see the whip strike the spot where I was just standing. I looked over to see Otto Baynes with his Abyssal Whip and Bandos armor. I got into my fighting stance. Otto stood there for a second then said, "Nice dodge, most mages aren't that athletic."

I responded, "Well that's true, but you'd definitely need to do better than that to hit anyone at all."

He laughed, and snidely said, "Of course I would, but if I did, I wouldn't have the chance to fight you."

I laughed back, and plainly said, "I won't even have to use my full power to defeat you."

He laughed even harder, and responded, "Even though you used to co-own the number 10 in our Deputy Owner system, it doesn't mean you're as strong as me. I'm number 6. There isn't even a 10th position anymore in the system because of you and Renacles betraying us."

I said back to him, "Numbers mean nothing. Now, let's fight!"

"Couldn't agree more, but judging by the fact that you have on your Lunar Robes, you're using Lunar Spells. How are you going to fight using non-combat magic?" he proposed.

"Leave that to me." I stashed my two magic books into a pouch on my waist so I could use them later and they wouldn't get in the way. I then brought my Lunar Staff straight up, at my side, and then put the top portion down into my left hand, so that it was parallel to the ground. I started thrusting it at him multiple times as he dodged by ducking, jumping, pushing my staff to the side, and even hopping back and forth. "It's so unlike a mage to know and be able to use melee, but you were smart like that, and practiced using melee for those close encounters." Otto quickly swung his whip at me, and I didn't even flinch as it stuck me. I watched as Otto felt a big surge of pain from my Vengeance spell. "How are you not feeling any pain?"

"Easy, I used my Disruption Shield spell to nullify the damage, but my Vengeance spell did damage to you based on how much you would have done to me."

"Nice trick, but I know you have to wait a while before you can use either spell again." He then quickly struck me and the same result occurred. "That makes no sense at all."

"You're an idiot. You really think I didn't know the limitation of my spell. That's why I used my spell before I got here so I could immediately use it again. Now that you're worn out it will be easy to finish you off. You shouldn't have underestimated me."

"I still have strength left! Prepare to die!" He quickly got into a stance and came charging right at me. I quickly got ready and pushed my staff up to block his whip as it came down. The whip curled around my Lunar Staff from the force of the attack against my weapon. I quickly pulled my staff back and ripped the whip out of his hands, and remarked, "You won't be needing this anymore." I got ready to lunge my staff at him again with the whip still attached to it. I lunged at him and he started dodging by jumping over and ducking under my staff left and right. I kept on him, and he made his mistake, as I feinted to lunge to the right he went to my left and I lunged at him. He still was a warrior though, and with his quick reflexes he landed on bent knees and jumped back to my right. He wasn't quick enough, I hit his shoulder and he spun from the force while he jumped. I ran forward to attack him again when he shouted, "Piety!" I continued the charge and struck his chest with my staff, but he wasn't even fazed. I quickly tried lunging rapidly with my staff but he was dodging like a pro. I lunged to far too the right and couldn't bring back my staff fast enough as he had dodged to the left. He grabbed his whip, yanked it from my staff, and punched me hard enough that I literally dug up dirt as my body went flying into the ground. I struggled a little bit as I got up onto my feet; I had to use my staff to prop myself up. I said, "Nice hit, it's good to see you're taking this seriously now. But it's over for you now."

"Hah! You really think you can. You're fighting skills are good for a mage, but not good enough against a warrior. Not only that, you're using your Lunar Spells." I got ready and came charging at him staff extended. He stood there waiting, and right when I lunged, he jumped on top of my staff and kicked me in the side of my head. I went flying again; blood was dripping down the side of my head. Despite the pain, I got up and charged him again. He was ready, with his whip in hand; he could easily kill me if he swung with his full power. I lunged right at him as he quickly side-stepped and slashed his whip at me. The whip struck my chest, knocking the breath out of me. I held together, and quickly spun my staff in his direction, causing the whip to get stuck on my staff. Loki laughed as he said, "Not this trick again. It won't work twice." He pulled his whip back, putting a lot of strain on my hands as the fought it. I turned my staff upright, and whispered a spell. A necklace materialized on my neck, and by Otto's reaction I could tell that he recognized it. He tried pulling back harder, and realizing it was futile he shouted, "Protect from—"

I interrupted him, "Too late! Fire Surge!" Multiple streams of fire came forth from my staff, and blasted him almost 30 feet back. I looked over him, and saw he was still breathing. I decided I would tell him the ignorance of his ways before he left this world. "You're probably wondering how I beat you. Well, as you know you whip would definitely have killed any mage in regular robes, but my Lunar Robes offer me a great protection from physical attacks. I also took time to learn how to defend myself from physical attacks, and build my resistance against them. Great defense doesn't protect you at all from magical attacks. Only training your magic abilities can help defend yourself from magical attacks, and you only trained your fighting skills. The last thing you're probably wondering is how I used a standard spell when I was using my Lunar Spells. Well, I used the spell Borrowed Power, and by using runes I had stored in my Arcane Capacitor Necklace – the necklace that I had materialized during our battle – I was able to use my Fire Surge, but I think you already knew that. You also thought that Borrowed Power only let me used the weaker Wave spells, not the Surge ones. Well, as a great mage I was able to tinker with it enough that it could be used for Surge spells. Well, it's time for you to die, I'll make it quick." I readied my staff above his chest to impale him when I heard something terrible. I quickly left Otto behind, and looked back to see a blue light envelop him. I should have killed him off before I left.
