The grind never stops

Ashton, and Adam faced off in the ring much like the earlier matches. Learning from his mistakes, Ashton changed right at the start. Familiar earthen armor surrounded Adam’s body, and the clash began.

The irritating sound of rock being dug into by Ash’s claws prevailed through the training ground. Claw after claw was directed at the stalwart boy. Ashton left nothing to chance, being as hard and aggressive as physically possible. The large sword Adam wielded couldn't be swung against his monstrous foe.

Ashton had not slown down, small cuts could be seen all throughout the earth armor as Adam did his best to just maintain, and defend. Issue being time, Adam had no time to use his earth magic to his advantage, or reform his armor.

Disregarding his weapon Adam Swung his fist and with a resounding crack contact was made with Ashton’s lower jaw. Staggering backwards Ash made ready to pounce once again.
