269 Begining of the duel (part 2)

"Where do you think you are going?"

Banking on the fact that with the speed at which he was flying away, it was nigh impossible for Veriel to react to my actions, I once again danced around, pointing my stick quite a bit behind my cousin.

The second his momentum slowed down enough to allow him for any sort of retaliation or defensive measures, another rift opened behind his back, only to send him flying back towards me!

This time, I wasn't going to let him off soo easy by just bouncing him around.

While he could enjoy his airborne time, I made sure to scan the entire arena once again. 

For some reason, the beast that Katenaris or Dracons bought at my auction and somehow brought to such a level that made it impossible for me to gauge its strength… was just lying on all fours and lazily observing the events!

This beast was the only reason why I started the fight in a defensive manner.
