Chapitre 226: Chapter 226

The moment the count hit one, I burst forward, my aether surging through my body, and my first step cracking the stone beneath my feet. My eyes were locked onto Pate as he moved to meet me in the center of the ring, his own aether ready and waiting.

It seemed we both had the same idea, and our fists met as we clashed in the center. Fists flew as we began to send strike after strike at one another. I blocked a kick to my side while dodging a right hook and then returning with a strike to his right side

He let out a grunt but then raised a knee to try and strike my stomach as I had moved forward when I struck.

I was fast enough to move out of the way, but that was a mistake as his right hand shot out in an uppercut which just caught me on the chin. I winced slightly and jumped back before rubbing the spot. It stung a bit, but not even to be a problem or hurt my ability to fight.

Pate didn't follow me and instead just stood there, his eyes locked on me. "You fight well."
