But she was agile and fast too. She quickly went after him, and using the longer length of her staff, she planted it straight in his back just before he could reach it, sending pain throughout his body as the metal staff came down on him.

Not only did she avoid him to grab his sword again, but also she counterattacked - the staff on his back really caused that stinking pain which spread all over his muscular body. Fortunately, her staff did not hurt his spine, since it met his muscles in the lower back. It was enough for Tulius to scream in pain for the first time. However, the Roman was not beaten at all. Her attempt to pin him back on the ground failed as his fist slapped her face strongly, preventing her from staying in a position of advantage. The man was not stupid, he knew the warrioress would soon recover. No time to think. Time to scape to somewhere else. A place where her long staff would not be useful - of course, he had to run into a thicker area of the forest, a bit away from this clear area. Tulius ran fast towards the bushes and soon disappeared... was Melina following him?
