Bloody Lesson (Part 3)

Garan drank another bottle of mana potion as he conjured razor-sharp blades of ice around him. 

Silas, with a charismatic smirk, manifested dancing flames that flickered with the intensity of his prowess.

Garan propelled a barrage of icy shards towards Silas. The redhead however weaved between projecties, electric sparks dancing along his skin. He then sent an electric shock directed to Garan, but it was once again attracted by the metal rod in the ground. 

It wasn't that Silas had never fought against metal users before. It was just that they never used it so skillfully to affect his attacks at all.
