Chapter 31: Warrior soul
Davi was forced to retreat with each step, struggling to defend himself against Alexia’s relentless attacks. The constant threat of her <air slash> kept him on edge, never allowing him to relax for even a moment.
His body screamed in pain, and he could feel the weight of exhaustion settling in. His muscles no longer reacted with the same speed and precision, and the sharp sting of countless cuts began to spread across his skin.
How could he win? She was simply too powerful; this was impossible.
Still, he forced his foot into the ground and advanced for another strike. He needed to find a way to win this fight.
But his determination once again had to face the harsh reality of the immense mountain standing before him.
Alexia easily dodged his strike, spinning gracefully, and suddenly, her blade shone as she accelerated, preparing for a perfect cut.
Her body twirled with the grace and precision of a true master, and soon, her blade was approaching Davi. The only thing the boy could do was grab the sword with his left hand, stopping her strike.
His blood spilled onto the ground and the woman’s blade, which he gripped with all his strength.
Then, he prepared to try to strike her again, swinging his sword. However, she drew a small knife from her waist and defended against his blow.
She then took a step back and once again sliced the air with perfection, sending shockwaves toward the boy. This time, he barely managed to dodge the first <air slash>, but the second one hit his leg squarely, causing him to fall to his knees.
His vision began to fade, and the pain was excruciating. Even if he used all his strength, getting back up seemed impossible.
