The two went back to hand-to-hand combat.
But this time, the pace was completely different.
It was insanely faster.
Neither Ezra nor Desmond wasted much movement with their legs. There were only a few steps backward before the other fighter immediately stepped forward again, keeping the distance between them almost unchanged as their hands and bodies continued moving at a speed that made the earlier exchange seem slow.
The audience could hear the impacts, but following every movement was becoming difficult.
Desmond's Fang Arts were built around aggressive combinations.
His attacks flowed from jabs into crosses, low kicks, elbows, and knees, with each strike meant to create an opening for the next one. He didn't throw a single attack and waited to see what would happen. His entire body was moving as one chain, and whenever Ezra blocked one strike, another was already following from a different angle.
Ezra blocked them.
A heavy elbow came toward his head.
