A Single Attack

The dark-skinned man swung his sword, releasing a very strong attack that arrived in front of Pearl before he could prepare for it. 

Pearl teleported again, disappearing from where he stood, arriving some distance away with a haggard look. He was so close to getting hit that time that it wasn't even funny. Fighting something an entire major realm above you was not an easy feat for Pearl even after all the courage he had mustered.

'I will be seriously injured if I am hit by that,' Pearl thought. He was certain he would even die if the attack meant for it.

'There is no fighting here,' Pearl thought. 'I can teleport all around, but victory won't come from it. I must find it.'

Pearl realized that there was no exchange of attacks going to happen here. It was not a fight where he could chip down his enemy. He had to defeat him with one single attack.
