As the sound of the bell echoes, the battle begins.
I immediately get into a defensive stance, Sapphire ready to react to any potential attack.
However, we both stand there, staring down at each other for a moment.
The reason for my defensive approach is simple. Charging at an opponent with unknown abilities is a foolish act, especially when I know they are way stronger than me.
But why isn't Seraphiel attacking?
He just stands there, menacingly, looking at me with his glowing eyes.
The pressure is immense. My heartbeat echoes inside my chest, pounding like a machine, and my anxiety shoots through the roof.
Should I attack?
Or should I maintain my defense a bit longer?
Huh?
As if waiting for that moment of hesitation, he moved.
My indecisiveness caused my response to be delayed by 0.0001 second. The man vanishes and then reappears right in front of me, launching a powerful kick.
BAM!
KEUK!
