A strong clang was heard and a few ice shards blew up near Alaric's spear. He charged forward, his legs leaving a trace of lighting as he thrust his spear to attack Tiara.
The young woman did not falter. A layer of ice covered the whole area nearby, and she began skating in a graceful dance with her saber. Alaric, doing his best to keep his balance, had to slow down and support himself with Lightning Qi to remain standing, and he barely held back the deadly saber with his spear while being pushed backward.
Thumping the butt of his spear against the ground, a strong vibration passed through the ice, making it shatter. Tiara tried to recast her ice layer, but the sound had echoes that continued breaking the new layers even after the first sound was over.
"It had been a good spar as always," Alaric said while bringing water out of his storage ring when they finished their match.
