                "We've saved enough cursed energy to use this for at least an hour," they thought, half growling at Igris. He stared at them, curiously. He flipped his sword facing down and shoved it into the ground. He reached to each shoulder, unbuckling his cloak. Throwing it back, landing on the ground. He reached back, and unhook his daggers, throwing them to the side. His hands balled up into an armored fist. "Are you being Chivalrous?" They asked half confused. "That was your first mistake!" They rushed towards Igris quickly. At a similar speed, Igris dashed towards them, meeting them in the middle. He threw a jab at Winter's throat, but they caught his hand and punched him in the stomach. Catching off guard, Igris reached for Winter's hoodie, but they grabbed onto his neck and yanked in the opposite direction. With their moment canceling each other out, they stood in place. Igris threw a punch into Winter's chest, they blocked with one hand and threw one at Igris's head. His skin rippled and bruised, while Igris's head spun. An explosion of dust and stones erupted from their clash. They dashed away, holding onto their left forearm. "I'm wearing two layers of armor, but it still feels like I lost about 500 hp!" They thought, growling as their rage grew. "How much more damage would it have done if I didn't block?" They ask themselves, glaring at the cloud of dust and dirt. Slowly Igris stepped out from the cloud of dirt and dust, its armor clanging on the stone ground. He had a hand on his head, "If he lands a direct hit on me, I won't be able to last very long," they thought, "You're just like me, huh?" It asks smirking through the mask.

                Dashing forward, they reached Igris in seconds, their fists pounding into Igris's chest plate, leaving a small dent, "HA!" They laughed, but it was quickly cut off with an elbow speeding down towards their head. Their left arm jerked up and blocked the attack. Gritting their teeth, they pushed the attack up, breaking Igris's stance. Both parties threw a multitude of punches at each other, with a storm of mana exploding from their colliding fists, With all of their might, they threw a punch at each other. Their fists collided creating an even larger explosion than before. But, before they could bring their arms back into their stance, Igris threw a strong punch. Landing a direct hit on Winter's head. They spun like a wooden spin top. They flipped upside down from the sheer force.
