Titus had already exposed and established himself as a mage, a real magic user with enough power and versatility to his spells. Nevertheless with his increase in size and bulk, he brought a physical aspect to the equation that frankly speaking was now giving Cole an extremely tough time as he was finding it hard to keep with his strength.
Cole stepped back, holding his sword across his body as Titus's rapier smashed into it, pushing him backwards a few more steps, a he sidestepped the next swing, letting it fall past his body while he smashed the pommel in the direction of Titus's sternum. The goblin used a knee to defend that pushed Cole back once again, throwing him a few feet back as he rolled on the ground this time.
