In the blink of an eye, Druvash vanished from where he stood, reappearing a breath later, right before Renny.
The air cracked. Then came the swing.
Renny moved just as fast, sidestepping the blow and countering with one of his own. Druvash twisted aside, his claw grazing Renny's side before he drove a strike that landed square on Renny's ribs. The hit was clean but lacked enough force to topple him.
Renny straightened instantly and retaliated, his fist connecting hard with Druvash's jaw. The beast reeled, not expecting that. Renny followed with another hook.
Druvash caught it midair, yanked Renny forward, and smashed his forehead into him. Renny's head snapped back, but he came right back with a brutal nod of his own — skull to skull — followed by a sharp blow to Druvash's chest. Then another. And another.
