Elliot's Resolve

Elliot coughed blood from the impact. He crashed into a tower, destroying it the moment his body made contact with the brick walls.

"What was that power?!" Elliot growled, standing back up to see Malice grinning at him. She knew that the boy could not overpower her with brute strength alone. She was ten times bigger than he was.

"Are you okay?" Lance asked when he arrived beside Elliot. The latter fixed his composure before gripping his sword again, this time he was more prepared to take on Malice.

"Let's do this a second time," Elliot said as he wielded his sword with both hands. His body gently lit up with a dark green aura, a color that Lance had never seen before. "This color is new to me too. I just learned this skill just a few hours ago. Now that I'm having trouble against her, I decided to use it."
