Chapter 73: Dance of death
After forcing her enemy to drop his sword, Sherazade also released her hands, then she aggressively advanced into hand-to-hand combat. For a moment, Davi thought the girl was crazy.
But as he was pressured by her quick movements, he soon understood that she was still taking that fight perfectly seriously. Her arms moved like snakes, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment. And her kicks were so fast that her leg looked like a fierce whip.
Even when the boy managed to block the kicks, the pain still spread throughout his body. And, in the midst of an almost random dance, the woman managed to attack in an always unpredictable way. For a few moments, Davi couldn’t even make an attempt to react, being forced to take several steps back, until he was placed against a wall.
Davi felt the cold of the wall pressing against his back, remembering that there was nowhere else to retreat. His eyes fixed on Sherazade, who was advancing quickly. He knew that if he didn’t act quickly, he would be defeated.
Taking a deep breath, Davi channeled all his concentration. He could no longer afford to just react; he needed to adapt to the woman’s strange fighting style. There was no way she could be completely unpredictable.
And after desperately defending himself for a few more moments, he finally noticed a slight opening before she delivered a spinning kick. So he managed to send the girl flying away.
But Sherazarde got up in an instant, with an even bigger smile on her face. She couldn’t help but be impressed with how much that boy was able to adapt to her. "Let’s see if you can dodge this," she commented with a teasing tone, and in an instant, she was in front of the boy.
Then she spun in the air perfectly, wanting to hit a kick on his shoulder from top to bottom. An exaggeratedly extravagant blow, but so fast that it was almost impossible to try to dodge.
That’s why Davi didn’t dodge, he allowed her to hit him, but reacted in an instant, grabbing the woman by the neck. Then he tried to crush her trachea, but she managed to escape from his grip.
With that said, the boy still managed to throw his enemy to the ground, hurting her. This time, Sherazade took a bit longer to get up. And by the time she realized it, Davi was already standing in front of her.
She tried to push him away with a kick, but she couldn’t attack with the same speed as before. Because of this, the boy leaned to the side, narrowly avoiding the strike that cut through the air like a whip.
