"W-What… dammit… I'm so weak now," my daughter winced, slicing the blade from my hand, drawing just a bit of blood before my palm closed right back up. "O-Okay, maybe let me get an attack of first."
"Then don't use a skill that will sacrifice so much mana or stamina. Try everything out on me, but make sure to actually have the energy and mana to do everything… if that makes sense."
Ada almost seemed to growl as I backed away, allowing her to openly slash at me with her blade. So, I immediately retaliated by redirecting the momentum of the blade and then slashing right back at her.
She just barely managed to get the blade between her chin and my blade, blocking it but sending a forceful shockwave down the blade and handle. Her hands visibly shook, and I grimaced at the thought of such a shockwave numbing my hands.
