As Dayus lunged towards him, Sam kicked hard on the burnt tree.
That one kick broke the tree into dozens of pieces that are coupled with sharp wind elemental energy that came at Dayus at the same time.
Dayus had to stop in his tracks to block the attack, which gave Sam a very tiny headstart. He used the shadow element to slip in between the trees within the woods. He is like a slippery loach in the water.
After defending himself against the attacks, which are not really that strong, but not weak either, Dayus pursued Sam once again.
"What happened, you cocky bastard? The great Sam is actually running away from me. Where did the crazy asshole that constantly picked fights go? Come and face me, you coward."
Sam didn't respond. To keep up with his speed, Dayus had to use his partial lightning fusion. It increased his speed and reaction time, but it made it hard for me to be as agile as Sam.
