"Ahhhh!" Ash cried out, his mind racing as he evaded the Guildmaster's first attack.
But before he could catch his breath, Dolgrim was upon him, his blade slicing through the air in a deadly arc.
In that moment of crisis, Ash knew that there was no time for questions or hesitation.
Every muscle in his body tensed as he rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the Guildmaster's second blow, though the wind from the sword's arc ruffled his hair and sent a chill through his bones.
Gasping for air, Ash sprung back to his feet, his senses heightened and adrenaline coursing through his veins.
'What on earth is he doing!?' he thought, his mind a desperate mixture of bewilderment and anger.
Ash's thoughts raced as fast as his heart was beating.
'I could feel it in that last attack, he wasn't pulling any punches, he would've killed me,' he thought to himself, his mind still reeling from the realization.
