Her nonchalant attitude only added fuel to the fire. The champion's face twisted with rage, but unlike before, he no longer charged in recklessly. Ashley's earlier throw had taught him to be more cautious.
Instead of attempting another tackle, he began shifting his footing, constantly changing angles as he circled around her. His movements were intended to confuse her while creating openings for his true weapon, his legs. After all, his reach far exceeded hers.
As long as he kept the fight at kicking distance, he was confident he could land a clean hit and put Ashley in her place.
Without warning, he launched a sharp sidekick toward her midsection. Before the kick could connect, he flowed into a roundhouse aimed at her head, followed by another sidekick and then a low kick to her thigh. The attacks came one after another in a relentless combination.
Yet every strike missed.
