The moment the bell rang, Dren rushed in like a bear. His technique depended solely on that form...
His claw strikes were wild but fast—slicing the air with feral precision. Kaelen danced around them, nunchaku flicking and snapping.
Clink-!
Whack-!!
Whack-!!!
One strike to the shoulder, another to the ribs.
"Too slow," Kaelen whispered in Dren's ear before striking him behind the knee.
Dren dropped with a grunt, only to receive a clean strike to the back of the neck.
While Dren's attacks were good, he was too slow. He only had great strength in each claw swipe, but that was all—he couldn't touch Kaelen, not even once.
He was unfortunate to be matched against Kaelen. The boost to Kaelen's speed after awakening was definitely not small.
