Aaron, Gwen, and Amber were fighting against Ethan, who could summon a mana staff. The battle had already lasted for several minutes but was far from over, as the guy was strong and used to kill.
The only silver lining was that they were three against one and held themselves well against the guy.
They kept dodging and blocking many of Ethan's attacks, but he was a skilled fighter and continued to enlarge, make longer, or make heavier his mana staff to strike them with powerful blows even from a distance.
However, despite constant shifts in size, weight, and length, Ethan's staff was fast and fluid, moving with an almost magical grace that made it hard for the trio to predict his next move.
That was also due to his physical superiority, but thanks to their training and their rare powers, they managed to survive against him until now.
