Their first clash should have been a warning, but Brody still failed to anticipate the speed of his opponent.
"Shi-"
Swiping his hand, he hastily formed a barrier in front of him, knowing it would instantly shatter. But the punch he prepared to block didn't arrive. The assailant pivoted at the last instant and changed target, lunging at Elias instead.
The rugged guard didn't allow himself to be taken off guard again, but the air missiles he launched never found their target, which appeared to vanish, appearing a short distance to the side before vanishing again.
Once again, the sound of his metallic soles was what alerted Elias to his presence. Having stepped behind him, the armored assailant pulled his fist back and he prepared to attack, but then he vanished again, appearing beside Brody once more. His fist shot out, hitting the spiky-haired guard in the arm, the force of the blow made all the more gruesome by a sudden intense flash.
