Julia watched as Winslow closed the short distance to attack. Without much thought, she got into a defensive stance and channelled her mana, allowing it to blaze around her entire body.
She had no intention of using her sword on someone like that. 'My fists will be more than enough.' She thought inwardly and jumped out of the way when Winslow unleashed the power of his abilities as soon as he reached five metres, and pointed his right arm out.
A cluster of vines collided with the ground where Julia once stood. "Not so tough now, are we?" Winslow mocked and pressed on with his attack with Julia evading the vines. Her agility and reflexes made her actions surreal to watch.
Not a single vine was able to get a hold of her, frustrating the boy to no end. Understanding that he wouldn't be able to catch her like that, he forfeited the use of his abilities and closed in to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
