Catching his breath, Lucas gazed at the woman and calmly observed the injuries she had on her body. There were signs of claws and scratches, with this Lucas inferred that she was wounded by a wild beast. The woman also didn't move at all.
It was the same time, both of them moved causing a crack in a stalemate. Lucas and the woman's feet kicked the ground at the same time.
The sound of compressed air exploding in the air echoed.
It was the woman, who seemed to be at an advantage in the movement. The acceleration she received was terrifying, just kicking off the ground, she was already standing in front of Lucas.
CLANG!
Swords clashed against one another. With a bang, Lucas's sword bounced off his hand forming an arch. A terrifying numbness coursed through his arms.
If possible, Lucas did not want to tread blows with her directly but the woman was on high alert so his cheap trick might be useless if he uses them now.
