Kaien's artificial irises contracted. Combaing, Elias twisted inside the choke and headbutted Kaien hard enough to make his sensors buzz.
Kaien was forced back. He rolled across the synthetic grass and recovered into a crouch.
Elias was catching his breath not noticeable but he was feeling exhausted a bit since Kaine refused to fight at full power then he himself would fight without primordial energy which made up more than ninety percent of his strength. So currently fighting at this level was bound to tire him, chest subtly rising and falling.
Kaien's next attack was sharper.
Twin blades extended from both wrists. One vibrated with sonic frequency, the other superheated to plasma. He dashed in again.
Clang. Sparks flew. Elias blocked the sonic blade with his forearm, grunting as he took a shallow cut to the side.
Blood trickled. Elias hissed softly.
