William dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding the greatsword. He was about to unleash a counter of his own when the greatsword slammed into the ground, triggering a miniature earthquake and knocking William off his feet.
He scrambled out of the way just in time as Goddard slammed down the greatsword again. Goddard wasn't giving William any time to breathe.
William dodged a third strike. His fingers fluttered as an Advanced Barrier Array was formed, temporarily blocking Goddard's strikes. William used the time to boost his speed and strength with Arrays then shifted to the offensive.
His right fist lashed out and knocked away Goddard's greatsword, followed by his left fist that delivered a harsh blow to Goddard's face and sent him flying into the barrier protecting the Arena.
