Bang.
Hex blocked Grint's flaming sword with his frost-covered sword, producing a muffled explosion. Both men were pushed back by two steps.
Grint squinted his eyes, realizing the young man before him was his equal in power. Despite finding it ridiculous, he glanced at his elderly uncles, knowing he wouldn't be able to finish Hex off on his own.
But Grey and Grim were being held off by Althea's agile spear. Althea wasn't strong as both of them combined. But she was agile and skilled with her spear. She kept both old men occupied.
Unlike Grint, Hex didn't glance toward Althea. He knew how capable she was. He jumped toward Grint. The momentary distraction of the middle-aged Knight forced him to put his sword up in haste.
Bam!
Hex attack pushed Grint back once again but Hex moved with him. When his attack connected with Grint's sword, he applied the frost power, causing his sword to stick to Grint's.
