Take a swing, no, two
Ikeris tilted its head to the side, confused at the strange staff that Alex was swinging around. ' Are we Shepards now? Where are the sheep?' Were the thoughts on ikeris's mind. It did not lower its guard though, the previous lessons had left it with a deep impression not to underestimate any weapon, especially when that weapon was in Alex's hands.
So, although the staff looked strange and funny in a way, it was still wary towards it.
SWISH!!
Alex rushed at Ikeris with the staff in his right hand. His speed this time was not very fast, taking his time to study ikeris's reactions; since he did not buff himself with the wind element and was rather using a core mage's normal speed, but it was still faster than most cars though.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Ikeris flapped its wings while quickly shooting five steel feathers at Alex who had already crossed half the distance between them.
