Jevan drew his sword and thrust it at Edmund, but as soon as the blade touched Edmund's skin, it shattered. Jevan's eyes widened in shock. Edmund took advantage of it and punched him hard in the chest. Jevan was hurled backward and slammed into the tavern wall, dust raining from the ceiling.
Edmund charged at Jevan with a powerful attack. This time Jevan leapt up, using the splinters of the broken table as support, dodging the attack and landing lightly behind his opponent.
Jevan leapt aside, dodging another blow from Edmund while clutching his chest. The first hit had made him feel as though his ribs had shattered. Without the mask he doubted he could even be standing.
