Anfey observed Kamlin carefully . The Dragonborn's eyes changed to a dark red color as the shape changed as well .

Kamlin suddenly lunged at Anfey, swinging his fist . He was too far away to do any physical harm, but as he swung his fist, a ring on his hand suddenly burst into light . The light caught Anfey off guard, forcing him to turn his head away so he wouldn't be blinded by it .

As Anfey turned his head away, Kamlin moved closer . In order to reduce any noise, he slowed his speed and movement . He only picked up his speed when he was very close to Anfey .

Anfey jumped back, shielding his eyes from the light of the ring . He was slower than Kamlin, but he summoned his ax in time to block his punch .

Kamlin's fist slammed into the ax, sending both Kamlin and Anfey flying backward . Anfey stumbled and landed, gripping the ax in his hand . As Kamlin landed, he immediately pushed himself off of the ground and dashed towards Anfey again .

Anfey gripped the ax in his hands . He knew that Kamlin must have had a backup plan and was ready for it, but he still fell for the Dragonborn's trap .

Kamlin walked around Anfey and was very careful with his movement . He knew how powerful his ring was and knew its effects . He had time and he knew there was no need to rush into a decision .

Normally, a blinded man would start attacking randomly . Mages tended to resort to levitation spells . Without his sight, Anfey couldn't use his mind magic and couldn't attack Kamlin's daughters anymore .

Anfey stood firmly with his head down .

Kamlin frowned then moved towards Anfey slowly . When he was close enough, he swung his fist at him . Last time, Anfey was able to detect his movement . This time, any wind current his attack caused would have been blocked by Anfey's clothes .

Anfey did not move until Kamlin was very close to him . He suddenly leaned forward, letting go of his ax . A burst of flames appeared in his hands and flew towards Kamlin . As soon as the flame left his hand, Anfey reached over grabbed the falling ax again .

The flame flew towards Kamlin and struck his face, exploding into a burst of blinding red light .

Kamlin took a step backward instinctively, caught off guard by this unanticipated change . He suddenly saw the ax through the red light and it was flying towards him .

Not only was his skin immune to most magic, it was also able to protect him from physical attacks . That was why he was able to become very powerful without being able to use magic or combat power . However, Anfey's attack was too sudden and too close . He couldn't risk taking a hit that could have injured him . He took a few steps back to block the hit .

As Kamlin was retreating, a wall of fire appeared under his feet, enveloping him . A few moments later, Anfey appeared through the fire and swung the ax at him .

Anfey was taking a risk by fighting Kamlin while blinded, but Kamlin did not want to take the risk too . He kept retreating, putting as much as distance as possible between himself and the ax . With a rumble, a wall of earth appeared behind him, blocking his path .

Both Kamlin and Anfey were very fast . In a fight like this, a moment of hesitation could have meant life and death . The wall of earth made Kamlin hesitate . By the time he recovered, Anfey's ax was already too close for him to duck .

With a loud thud, Kamlin bursted into golden light . The ax clashed with the light, sending him crashing through the wall of earth .

Anfey walked towards Kamlin slowly, his eyes still closed . He wasn't planning on using magic in the fight, but he remembered Saul's words about how magic wasn't all about hurting and attacking .

Kamlin stood up, staring at Anfey with a frown . He raised his ax and took a deep breath .

Before Anfey could attack again, the image of a creature appeared behind Kamlin . The creature expanded and did not stop until it was towering over both men . Then, it suddenly disappeared and Kamlin's skin deepened to a dark blue . He took a deep breath slumped to the ground .

Anfey was very sensitive to magic surges and he could detect a strange surge around Kamlin . He guessed about the creature that appeared behind Kamlin . He must have summoned a dragon .

Anfey disappeared from where he stood as the strange surge reached him . Then, he reappeared above Kamlin and slammed down his ax .

Kamlin jumped back to distance himself away from the ax . Anfey did not chase after him . He knew he was faster than Kamlin, but not by much . Until the strange surge disappeared, he did not want to return to the ground .

Kamlin inched closer to the cliff . He knew how difficult it was to fight someone who used teleportation . He still needed to go save his daughters .

Kamlin glanced at Anfey, then turned and jumped off of the cliff . A pair of dark blue wings appeared on his back .

Anfey frowned . He chased after Kamlin, summoning firebirds and lightning . However, he was too slow compared to Kamlin and his magic could not do him any harm .

Kamlin dove down from the sky, grabbing the rope that bound his daughters . He broke them and gathered the two girls into his arms . He flew towards the ground, holding his daughters . Suddenly, he felt something dragging him the ground .

He was strong, but it was still hard for him to carry two people as he flew . The gravity spell just made it even harder . Kamlin was stubborn and never would have abandoned his daughters for his own safety .

Suddenly, Anfey appeared above Kamlin and his ax caught him in the back . Kamlin grunted and his daughters, upon seeing blood, fainted .

Kamlin fell from the sky to the ground, blooding trailing in the air . Anfey chased after him, determined to make sure that his opponent did not get back up again .
