With a burst of speed, Rian closed in on the fleeing knight. As the knight turned to face him, Rian unleashed a barrage of attacks, his dual-wielded weapons a blur of fire and lightning.
Rian was relentless. His relentless assault left the knight with no respite, constantly pushing him further and further back. The knight's once confident stance wavered, as his fatigue began to take its toll. His reactions were slow, and his movements lacked the fluidity they once possessed.
