Garrick's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took advantage of the opening.He stepped forward and swung his sword with greater force.
BANG!
The blade collided with Ethan's sword and pushed him backward several meters.
Ethan steadied himself in the air, but Garrick had already followed him.
Another strike came toward him.
Ethan raised his sword and blocked it.
CLANG!
The impact shook his arm.
Garrick did not stop. He continued pressing forward, sending one sword strike after another toward Ethan. Ethan blocked, dodged and redirected the attacks, but his movements were clearly more restrained than before.
Garrick suddenly pushed him back again.
"You are holding back."
Ethan did not answer.
Garrick's sword came down heavily.
Ethan blocked it above his head, and the force of the attack sent another shockwave toward the city.
Ethan immediately redirected the force upward.
Garrick's eyes narrowed when he saw it.
He snorted as he pressed forward.
