The Great Escape

"Uh, boys… do you really think I'm just going to let you leave?" Lara snorted, rushing over to me in an instant. 

A quick use of [Propulsion] on my arms was the only thing that allowed me to get my sword up in time, just narrowly managing to block an energy blast that she had thrown out. The quick movement of my sword caused her to dart back once again. It was the only option I had that could actually deal damage to her in this situation, It'd bite right through any manna based attacks or protections she had. 

While in terms of pure strength and speed Lara had us both beat, it would only take one mistake from the girl for the fight to end in our favour. That was my power play. 

"Get out of here Akash, I'll keep her tied up," I said, launching myself forward in another strike as I said it.
