The Water Blade King's surprise was evident as he witnessed Elena's nimble evasion.
His eyes widened slightly, reflecting a mix of disbelief and grudging admiration for her agility and skill.
"You are quite good to dodge it," he conceded, his voice laced with begrudging respect.
However, he remained determined to test the limits of Elena's abilities. His pride would not allow him to back down so easily.
"But can you handle this one?" he challenged, a smug undertone creeping into his words.
The Water Blade King's confidence swelled as he prepared to unleash a more formidable attack.
With a thunderous voice, he shouted, "Great Water Slash, Second Slash!"
A surge of power emanated from the Water Blade King, resonating through the chamber. His blade cleaved through the air once again, this time with even greater force and precision.
