Duskhand Day 3

'So that's the secret to his speed! Gravity magic!!'

Rachel thought this as she jumped back to escape from Arthur's melee range, and the gleaming silver sword was swung towards her neck with precision.

She flicked her fingers and generated a two-ringed magic circle in front of her, conjuring a powerful gust of wind that acted as a defensive shield to deflect Arthur's sword from its original trajectory.

Following up, she created a sturdy barrier with earth magic to absorb the force of Arthur's next attack.

The boy pulled his weapon back, tightening his grip on it before executing a series of rapid and unpredictable slashes with gravity magic wrapped around the divinity-constructed sword, increasing its speed and impact.

This forced Rachel to wrap her body with wind magic to increase her own speed so she could keep up with Arthur's strikes.
