Chapter 106 - Ten Seconds (1/2)
Thanks to a timely cast spell and lightning-fast reaction, Enni managed to dodge Draven's first attack. Nevertheless, less than one second later, Draven struck again.
Whoosh.
The girl quickly set her brass knuckles to the blow, she intended to sacrifice them to buy some time. To her surprise, Draven's fist stopped and suddenly she felt a pain in her stomach area.
He kicked her and from the force of the blow the girl flew aside. Everything happened as usual, one punch and it should have been over, but to everyone's surprise Enni was able to withstand it.
Draven was not embarrassed that she could still stand on her feet. He knew better than anyone that the student could withstand his blow or not.
Enni could still fight, but her position really wasn't the best. She couldn't attack on her own, she wasn't fast enough for that, but she could try to dodge another blow.
Whoosh.
Draven was instantly in front of the girl.
Bam.
Enni reflexively reacted and stepped aside. Draven's blow hit the wall of the arena, and there were a lot of cracks coming from the impact site.
Enni was well aware that Draven would continue to attack. She could dodge the blows and defend herself, but to do so she had to anticipate where Draven would strike.
Whoosh.
Even before Draven struck, Enni had folded her arms in front of her and a thick layer of wood appeared on them. She was going to protect her head and she guessed it right.
Bam.
Draven struck exactly at the head immediately breaking the solid layer of wood with his fist. This could not protect Enni from damage. One of her arms was broken, but she reacted quickly and was able to bounce back several meters.
She was the first student who had survived Draven's two blows and still remain on her feet. Some might say she was lucky that Draven had attacked in the head, but it wasn't about luck.
At the moment of the attack, the trajectory to Enni's head was the shortest, which is why Draven decided to strike there. His goal was not to let the students last an extra second if they didn't deserve it.
Experience, reaction, and perhaps luck helped Enni buy some more time. Nevertheless, the end of their duel was near.
The girl watched Draven closely, but suddenly he was out of her sight.
Bam.
The next moment she felt her ribs break. Any normal person would have been unable to think at that moment because of the pain, but Enni was capable of it and more then that.
Suddenly the fire on her brass knuckles blazed even brighter and everyone in the arena felt the great heat . This blow would hurt Enni, but she wasn't going to back down.
Bam.
The girl hit the ground with all her might and there was a deafening explosion with the crimson flames. The attack was very powerful, but it didn't matter to Draven. His silhouette easily passed through the veil of flame and struck another blow at the girl. That was the end of their duel.
