would move first.

My current problem was I didn't know the extent of Saint's powers. His energy was high up on what I'd call "holy" energy, magic that stemmed from the realms of light, but carried just as much lethality as any other elemental force.

I wasn't necessarily afraid of it, because I'd learned well into my teens with Aurelia as my best friend how to combat such magic, but the healing would be a big problem. Wolf shifters already healed fast. Adding how frequently he used his magic in that department only emphasized that he was a master at it.

Two minutes before he heals fully. I have to be fast, but if I let up even slightly, I'm bound to start over again.

My wolf opened her eyes once again, listening to my internal thought.

"Test his potential," she suggested. That would be smart, and it was exactly why I made the first move - running straight towards him.

He seemed surprised by my direct move, but his eyes of white with multiple hues of gold began to dance with gold and green. I pushed off the ground to conduct a high kick, only for him to move his hands upward as gusts of pure white rushed to his aid and lifted me up like my body weighed nothing.

I was shot upward into the air, but I wasn't taken aback in the slightest. I rotated my body so my legs were upward while my gaze was still on my enemy. My hands gripped the set of guns I conjured in a blink of a movement, and I was shooting downward a second later. Saint dodged my bullet spree as my body began to drop towards the ground.

Spears of gold shot out of the ground like standing icicles. Their sharp points would easily pierce through my body from the height and speed I was falling at.

With the slap of my guns they dispersed, but their energy only took a different shape. A shield was now in my grasp as I faced it towards the holy needles and changed my position so my feet and hands were pressed onto the shield’s surface like a snowboard ready to plummet through the intense hills.

The shattering sound made me smirk as my body weight and solid shield destroyed the trap, but I was already pushing off my protective creation, flipping backward and landing on the ground in time to see the white vines that shot out of the ground and wrapped around the shield to try and squeeze it into oblivion.

My landing was perfect, but I was already moving, avoiding the multiple blades being shot my way. I dodged and danced, spinning around and around before darting from side to side to avoid the flow of glowing white daggers that were being aimed at me all around.

Saint was definitely on the move, using his speed to his advantage while I wasn't even tapping into that aspect - not yet, anyway.

I needed one more minute to observe what he was going to do, leaving me no choice but to spin around and take his attack head-on as he crashed into me. I went flying back, and though I was able to flip myself so I landed on all fours, that landing was messy and left me scaping my knees.

Pain shot through me, but it was a mere scratch in comparison to what I'd dealt with. It wasn’t like I had time to deal with it, because Saint was suddenly in front of me with daggers in his grasp. I had the advantage now as I locked onto his wrists before they could go into an assaulting pattern, my scraped knee shooting out into his gut.

He gasped, but I showed no mercy as he was now up and being thrown right into the ground before I spun and lifted my leg to slam into his stomach. He rolled over at the last second - my attack crashing into the ground.

Just like I wanted.

The ground broke from my impact, but it created a quake that triggered jets of water from the ground. Saint cursed as he rolled at what could have been the speed of light to avoid the domino effect of bursting water that was chasing him down.

Furthering my distance, I took a moment to breathe until I knew two minutes were up.

"He's not good at close-range assaults. He thrives on magic at a distance. His conjuring of light weapons is faster than his elemental control. However, you can combat his
