Chapter 53: hunt
She moved and instead of moving backwards like he always do, he moved forward halting her in the midst of her attack.
Clang!
He caught it. Perfect parry. His arm vibrated from the force, but he was already countering with a rising elbow aimed at her ribs. She twisted midair—how?—and landed like a feather just behind him.
’How’. Not at what Lunethra did but how his body seems to be free, the previous shackles of fear rolling down the drain.
He pivoted, slashing low. She blocked, and the air cracked with the force of their clash.
For six seconds, they were motion incarnate—strike, block, feint, sweep. Zephyr’s form constantly being tossed around.
He moved a few meters due to the power behind Lunethra’s attack, only his left hand blurred as it moved to counter-attack and counter all the attack delivered by Lunethra.
The only reason he could barely keep up with her was due to his spatial sence. Space screamed at him moments before she attack, that was the only reason he could keep up.
He also realized something when the fight was going on, the ant back at the exam really did hold back against him. Back then space whisperes but right now it screamed at him, begging him to move or suffer.
But Lunethra on the other hand didn’t move like a student.
She moved like a phantom.
