BOOM!
A shockwave burst through the trees as their bodies clashed in mid-air.
Aestrea's fist crashed against Cecilia's elbow in a deadlock.
Their feet slammed against branches and snow-covered ground, leaping from place to place, each movement sharp and violent.
WHAM!
Cecilia ducked low, spinning around and throwing a roundhouse kick at his head.
Aestrea lifted his arm, blocking the strike with his forearm.
The impact sent a harsh jolt through his body, but he didn't move back. His hand flew up, knuckles glowing with icy mana.
FWOOSH!
He slammed his fist into her side.
THUD!!
Her body flew sideways, crashing through a tree, but then, she twisted in midair, landing on one knee, then shot forward again.
Fssh!
She was somehow faster now.
Aestrea narrowed his eyes as she spun in with a low sweep, then twisted her body up, copying his movement from a fight he'd once used against a knight.
SHIK!
