"And who said I need a weapon?" Barou said as he rushed forward and sent his fist flying towards Keith.
Keith's left hand was currently cut in two and was healing at a quick pace, but it wasn't fast enough to heal completely before Barou got close.
"Welp." Keith muttered as he grabbed his sword tightly and slashed diagonally, drawing a bright orange arc as an arc of fire flew forward, which was directly punched through by his opponent.
"It's a pity that we're not fighting to death." Keith said as he too dashed forward to meet Barou, but all of a sudden Barou jumped up into the air and sent a kick flying, "Why?"
Keith simply stopped in his tracks and the sweeping mid-air kick missed him entirely as it flew right in front of his face with just a few inches in between.
"Cuz if I take my flame output to another level, then you'll just become a dried piece of meat in seconds." Keith said as he took a look at his boosted awakened ability, which was flame control and manipulation.
