Kalcis's blade only grazed the left side of Caldo who had leaned slightly evading critical damage. Now he had Kalci in a bad position, one he could not easily escape. Caldo pointed his left palm back slightly as Kalcis's momentum carried him past.
His eyes darted back to his rear as he saw the flicker in Caldo's palm. An orange flicker as a flame ignited...He had intended for that strike to kill but underestimated Caldo reaction time. Most wouldn't have been able to avoid that critical strike...He had acknowledged Caldo's strength as a soldier too late.
The rain pelted the ground. Rain water ran down their faces hiding the discussing the sweat. Kalci's red eyes widened while Caldo's orange eyes narrowed all while the flicker in his left hand grew in size...His mind was set on torching Kalci.
