The Desperation Of A God.

The mana entity grinned. If Soverick wanted to die, then so be it. He would gladly oblige. But he missed.

"Huh," He was confused.

He wasn't an amateur that he would miss such an easy attack. His spear had hit Soverick but it had passed through him. It was almost as if Soverick wasn't there. Had he misjudged the distance? He began to question himself.

Soverick punched again. He blocked again. He was hit again. It was the same mistake all over again. Soverick capitalized on his opponent's confusion and punched again. The mana entity deflected this time. He swung his spear in a wide horizontal arc to accommodate for discrepancies in the distance. He missed again and he suffered the consequences with a heavy counterattack.

"What is going on?" It asked out loud.

If it had only happened the first time, he would have overlooked it. It happened again and again. It was enough for the mana entity to know that something was very wrong.
