Chapter 230 - You Thought The Meteor Was On The Chain, But It Was Me! Elua!

The meteor hammer's weighted end spun with the same smooth control that had scored against Qat twice in their first match. She watched the chain's movement with different eyes than earlier. The swordswoman understood its patterns and saw the tells in how Aleck shifted his grip before each ingrained sequence.

Changes that could send it flying like a cannon shot.

The first three points came in quick succession. Each time the chain slung toward her, she was already moving to exploit the brief window before her opponent could recover control. His expression shifted from determination to something more calculating as she continually dismantled his preferred attacks.

He adapted as much as he could. The young man tried new combinations. His chain moved in tighter arcs and lighter feints as its wielder attempted to limit her counter-opportunities. It finally earned him a point when she misjudged the timing.
