Gavin pushed himself out of the rubble and staggered back onto the street, gripping his sword with both hands. His eyes locked onto Eliath, filled with blazing rage. His breathing was heavy, his teeth grinding together as he glared at her.
"Face me, you rot!"
Eliath turned her head toward him, then her whole body followed, that same twisted smile still on her face. She spread out her wings, kicking up dust.
"You kids are really something," she said.
She gripped her sword, flapped her wings once, and shot forward like a bullet. Halfway to Gavin, he suddenly stabbed his sword into the ground, releasing a massive explosion of blue flames that rushed outward like a wave.
It caught Eliath completely off guard.
The explosion slammed into her, hurling her backward. She hit the ground and rolled for several meters.
