The Battle Continues

Nicholas backed away for a second, creating a manageable distance between him and Nicholas before reversing time to heal his bleeding abdomen. His breathing was laboured, and his clothes were soaked with both sweat and blood. Unlike him, Hollister's breath had barely changed from it's normal state. Although he showed some sign of fatigue, it was nothing compared to what Nicholas was going through.

"You seem tired Nicholas, is this really all the leader of the Guild can do?" Hollister inquired without hiding the mockery in his tone.

Nicholas knew quite well his brother was only trying to rile him up, but he didn't yield to man's words. He was going to continue fighting only because he wishes to, not because of Hollister's words.
