Kassie came at me harder than she had before, and that forced me to brace my defensive wall even stronger than the last. It wasn't just about actually defending anymore. It was about the force behind the defense itself. Or else, I would get thrown across the air like a ragdoll.
But at the same time, it was slightly funny, trying to contend with Kassie's strength. Not that she was using everything she had on me to begin with.
I staggered back and Kassie followed through with a brutal overhead arc strike. She treated the wooden stick like it was a greatsword, and honestly, I had no idea how she was doing it. The thing certainly wasn't one. Frostfang was supposed to be far stronger than a mere stick, and yet in Kassie's hands, for some reason, that stick carried almost equal force as her actual blade.
