"Begin!"
Vaelor dipped slightly, preparing to move. But Zephyrion vanished.
Vaelor's eyes flew wide.
'He moved!?'
Zephyrion flashed before him, driving a blade toward his neck.
Vaelor's widened eyes sharpened. He twisted aside as the blade flashed past him like lightning. He regained his footing… then froze.
Zephyrion was gone.
'Down.'
Vaelor leapt. A sweeping kick whistled beneath him, unleashing a violent gale across the arena.
As he descended, his eyes locked onto Zephyrion.
'An upward swing.'
The most likely follow-up.
A sharp hum echoed as a blade flashed into Vaelor's grip. The moment Zephyrion's body tensed, Vaelor instantly raised his sword to shield his head.
However… Zephyrion spun.
His body twisted as his leg whipped upward in a sweeping kick aimed directly at Vaelor's stomach.
Vaelor's eyes widened.
"What—"
BAM!
