However, before the Dark Sage could finish the job, my frost wyvern found some last measure of strength and defiantly slashed at him, forcing him to abort his attack and retreat. Despite his advanced age, Sha Chen continued to move with a speed and fluidity that surpassed even my schoolmates who were several times younger than him. He threw a palm that was wrapped in his whips up, striking my frost wyvern's head, only for the weapon to grind uselessly against the ice barrier that he managed to conjure between them.
The frost wyvern retaliated with a slash with his other claws, and Sha Chen had to parry this time, crossing his whip-wrapped arms in front of him. Even though the iron whips absorbed most of the damage, he was still thrown back several meters, his legs kicking restlessly as they sought to dig into the ground.
"Hah!"
