My opponent Thalor and I charged forward, striking simultaneously. The reinforced floor of the arena cracked under the force of our blows as we competed in strength.
He vanished from my sight and struck from behind, but I quickly defended as he repeated the attack, disappearing and reappearing at different points while I blocked them all.
Clearly, I'm at a slight disadvantage for being a bit weaker, so to compensate, I close my eyes and open two smaller eyes beneath my normal ones. This allows me to distribute the workload.
With my eyes closed, I can focus more on sensing mana and detecting general movements, while the two smaller eyes visually track his attacks if he appears in my field of vision.
I use the [Indes] technique to maintain balanced distance as he follows up with a powerful downward strike. I use my tail to propel myself, leaping over him and slicing at his neck.
