Moon found himself on the defensive more than he'd anticipated.
The Lynx's combination of speed, intelligence, and elemental mastery in a small beast created a problem he couldn't solve with his usual straightforward approach.
Silver Skin activated reflexively as one wind blade slipped past his earth wall, scraping across his shoulder.
The damage was minimal, but it proved the beast could land hits when Moon's attention divided.
I need to change tactics. This isn't working, at all.
The Lynx circled again, preparing another attack.
Moon's eyes never left the ever moving Lynx. Although he had been on the defensive that didn't mean he wasn't working. He had been trying to study the tactics the Lynx was using.
After fighting it for close to ten minutes, he could finally see a pattern, the creature always launched its wind blades from a distance, then closed in during the moment Moon was defending, attempting to find an opening for a killing strike with its claws.
