Joval grinned at the boy and lunged forward, making a downward slash with his battleaxe. The boy dodged to the right, making the attack miss and send up a plume of dirt. He was not going to end there however, instead he used the fact that his weapon was stuck in the earth to yank himself forward into a kick at his opponent's chest.
The boy parried the kick with his free hand and attempted to grapple around Joval's leg and trap him, but he overpowered the grip and yanked himself free from the boy and his axe free from the ground.
"You are pretty good, boy. Too bad I don't think you are going to win this one." He taunted, before making three swings in rapid succession.
