Third Person's POV
This time, however, the earth demon was ready.
Though he was driven back again and again while tearing apart the garden and cracking the square beneath their feet, he fought with grim resolve.
Despite the immense weight of his mace, he defended with surprising dexterity as he met each of the icy slashes of his saber with solid, well-timed blocks.
Since he had been forced on the back foot due to Ethan's first strike, he could only block for now, as Ethan didn't give him any opportunity to reverse the tide.
As they clashed repeatedly, Ethan noticed the demon's unusual technique as he held the mace unnervingly close to its spiked head, using one hand for fine control while the other anchored the weapon from below.
