Chapter 203: Brother Battles (2)
The night grew immensely darker, and the only sound that could be heard was the fierce clanging of metal as two sharp swords kept colliding in a deadly clash. The rain dropped heavier, its pattering sound adding to the intensity of the powerful clashes from both brother’s who swung their blades repeatedly, and no one had the intention of lowering their guard.
Drenched in the pouring rain, both brothers remained unaffected by it as they had their mind set on taking the other down.
Elijah charged his twin sword at Elian with lightning speed, making the first attack since Elian showed no forward motion of striking first. Their swords clashed for the umpteenth time that night as Elian defended it, and his defensive instinct only aggravated his brother who angrily gnashed his teeth, his fangs elongating in displeasure.
Elian parried each blow with effortless grace, and unlike everyone else Elijah has had to face, Elian knew his moves better than anyone, cause they did most of their training together when it came to balancing their abilities while using the twin blade. Although it had been many years, Elian was still familiar with his techniques, showing how much of a good memory he had when it came to this type of thing.
"Fight back!" Elijah tried to persuade his brother who only defended his attacks, but to his annoyance, there was no sign of any incoming attacks from his side. Although his movements were graceful and skillful, they lacked the force of conviction.
Elijah’s sword whistled through the air as he made another swing, and Elian dodged it with a swift side-step to the left. He had his reasons for holding back, and the situation would have been entirely different if Elijah had refused his offer.
"Why won’t you strike?!"
Elijah was starting to get impatient, and he took the opportunity to strike again. But this time, he found an opening, and that led him to pierce his sword straight into Elian’s ribs, the tip of the blade piercing out from Elian’s back as blood splattered on Elijah’s clothing.
Still, Elian only let the blade pierce him without saving himself from the attack, but he wasn’t spared from the intense pain the twin blade brought.
