Ten seconds left, the final phase was about to begin. Jacob and Xenia stilled themselves and controlled their breathing so much so that it was almost in unison.
9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2…1…
The time was up, the room fell silent again, the air around them thickened, it was time for a new wave of attacks that were even deadlier than the first one.
Phase Two Begins.
A low driven slash lunged towards Jacob, by this time their aura had filled the room, so every attack was foreshadowed.
He immediately repositioned his hand, placing his palm on the ground.
A slab of earth emerged from the ground, instantly splitting in half but efficient enough to parry the slash attack.
Xenia on the other hand, honed her senses, and was very prepared for the next attack.
Then it came, a vertical slash; dashing towards her from behind her head.
