Red could finish the fight by pulling another spear from his back, but he chose not to. There was this urge telling him to fight the Elite Kobold Fighter with his sword. He followed that urge and raised his sword.
The Elite Kobold Fighter was no longer rushing toward him, taking the fight carefully and more seriously. That gave Red the chance to coat his sword with mana.
They were facing each other, circling around. Red waited for the elite kobold coming for him, and his enemy seemed to have the same idea.
The Elite Kobold Fighter lost the battle of patience. It took two big steps forward and swung its sword down. The move was sudden and fast.
Red saw the move, and once more his instinct kicked in. There was a feeling that told him to respond on his own. That was weird, not the best decision, yet he followed his instinct. He swung his sword upward to meet the incoming sword.
Clank!
