Zedhyrx parried the attack with his own sword, but the impact was so great that it sent him flying back. He landed on the ground, skidding across the dirt.
Because of his forcibly stopping his breakthrough, he got injured in return and can't use his full strength.
Dryden wasn't done yet, he charged towards Zedhyrx once again. This time, he used a different approach. He unleashed a barrage of fireballs towards Zedhyrx, and as he dodged them, Dryden lunged forward with his sword.
Zedhyrx managed to dodge the fireballs, but he wasn't quick enough to avoid Dryden's attack. The sword sliced through the air, aiming for his chest. Zedhyrx quickly raised his sword to defend himself, but Dryden's attack was too powerful. The force of the impact sent Zedhyrx flying backward once again.
As he landed on the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw blood dripping from his wound.
