Chapter 60: Powerhouse Clash!

Valara's onslaught was relentless, her fists and legs blurring in a series of rapid punches and powerful kicks. Despite his best efforts to block and dodge, a few well-aimed kicks broke through Caden's defenses, each one sending him skidding backward. The impact was a force of nature, the strikes resonating through his body with the force of a thunderstorm.

Caden could feel the rush of adrenaline pumping through his veins, the blood pounding in his ears. Despite the pain, a chuckle escaped his lips. His eyes met Valara's. He saw the spark in them, the thrill of the fight. It was infectious. "Okay, Master. No more holding back," he declared, his voice echoing in the vast expanse around them.
