My heart pounded in my chest, adrenaline coursing through my veins.
With a deep breath, I gathered my energy, focusing it on my body. I needed to be faster and stronger.
I needed to take the fight to him.
'Martial Arts is my best choice in this current situation. It's direct, precise, and less complicated.'
In a fight that hinged on my raw power and close-range combat, I could always count on it.
'I have to get this right. Let's go…'
~WHOOOOOOSSSHHHHH!~
As I dashed towards the madman, the world around me seemed to slow down.
I watched as his lips moved, and heard the crackle of magic building in the air.
Spells.
He was bombarding me with them, trying to keep me at a distance, trying to escape.
But I was too fast.
~VWOOOOOMMMMM!~
The ground blurred beneath me, the wind whistling in my ears.
An incandescent bolt of energy sped towards me, waves of heat rolling off it.
