Chapter 30: The Taste of Defeat
Elandra didn’t wait for his reply as she blasted off the ground, reappearing in front of him in an instant.
She was definitely fast, but she was also predictable.
Raelis turned his head slightly, dodging her strike as he threw a heat barrier-infused punch at her abdomen, making her stagger backward.
Despite his solid attack, she brushed it off and dashed at him again and again, trying to land a hit.
But the more she pressed, the more he adjusted to her fighting pattern.
Raelis effectively dodged and countered each of her attacks until finally, her Flame Body technique came partially undone, revealing her face.
She spat out a mouthful of blood and shot him a glare.
"What are you doing?" Elandra asked. "Did you swallow a miracle pill or something? No way you got this strong on your own."
He shrugged, letting her play into her delusions. "If that helps you sleep at night."
I can only imagine how strong she’d be if she learned to control that temper... Raelis thought with a sigh and entered a combat stance.
He silently kicked off the ground, his movement a blur as he arrived before her.
His daggers neared her face, but just as they were about to connect, her body ignited in flames.
