A Challenge In The Dust

THUD!

Anya twisted just in time, deflecting his fist with her elbow and retaliating with a sharp kick aimed at his knee. Alister hopped back, the tip of her boot barely grazing him. Before she could press her advantage, he surged forward with a burst of mana, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.

VOOM!

"You're slow," he said, ducking under her wild hook and delivering a punishing knee to her abdomen.

WHUMP!

Anya gasped as the impact sent her airborne, but she flipped midair, her heels slamming into the side of a rusted bus. She used the vehicle as a springboard, launching herself back at him.

BANG!

Her boot connected with his shoulder, forcing him back. She landed gracefully, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she pursued him. Alister, unshaken, twisted his body mid-stumble, driving an elbow toward her face.

THWACK!
