It had been a close call. Even now, as Sonia jogged in place while fixing his party with a scrutinizing gaze, Rune could tell she was getting faster. Was there an upper limit to her speed? He did not know, but it would be a problem if she could reach levels of speed similar to his own. Rune was the fastest member of his party, and while the others were strong in their own rights, it would be a problem if they were targeted at a speed they could not react to.
It would definitely be in my best interest to finish this quickly. This woman, Sonia, is one of the individuals Carin had mentioned could put up a good fight against me. It should be alright to use more of my true strength...
Deciding it would be best to take the initiative, Rune increased his power and dashed at Sonia with newfound intensity. It was one of the main tactics Carin had drilled into him: blitz the enemy before they have a chance to know what hit them.
