Boom!
A sound thundered through the forest, shock waves spreading. Shadow was knocked back through a row of trees. She broke through all of them, flipped, and then landed on the ground, skidding back and swinging her arm at the same time, unleashing a wind blade a few meters long that cut through the air.
Ken sidestepped and parried the attack, his hands numb from the impact, but a smile still on his face. "Hahahah, you're pretty relentless," he said before kicking the ground and lunging forward at top speed.
"Vortex Slash!" Ken roared, planting his feet into the ground, spinning, and slashing. Shadow moved back fast, planted her hands on the ground, and shouted, "Wind Wall!" A high wall of wind gathered and blocked the attack, the shockwave ripping through the trees.
"You call out your moves like a mage when you are not," she said as she got to her feet, turning her blade into a forward grip.
