"If that\'s what you want then we can try it now." Remey clasped her hands together and was ready to bring her hammer fist skill down. She was going to oblige Shay with the attack but had made sure to add a little extra heat. 

The one knuckle was the fire affinity one that was pulling the fire from where Walker had started it. With the help of the alchemy fire spirit the flames reached Remey\'s clasped fists easily. The other knuckle was not the same. Remey had equipped the wind affinity knuckle on to that one causing the air to be pulled in and the flames to double in an instant. 

The surprise on Shay\'s face was enough to cause her to pause for a split second while Remey\'s hammer fist came down on her shoulder. The hit would have done major damage to a normal opponent and left a decent burn. Yet, Shay was fine. She stood strong and took the attack without any apparent damage. 

"I think you scorched my scales on that one. I should show you the speed that surprised the lord." Shay jumped back and then stepped forward using the scale step. The speed was enough to cause Remey to blink more than once to try and process if she was actually seeing the change in Shay\'s location. 

Naturally, Shay didn\'t stay at the fastest speed. Se wanted to see what else Remey would surprise her with. Instead, she lifted her leg and kicked out from a very tight and close range angle. Most people would lack the flexibility to attack like this but Shay had the draconic martial artist system and her high kick was one she had used for years and years. 

The kick was coming down on Remey too fast for her to be able to dodge so she did the next best thing. She blocked the kick. Her arms came together in the same cross armed block that Walker and Su had seen Shay use the day before. This was one of the many overlapping skills that the two had. 

When the kick landed Remey didn\'t just let it push her to her knees. If she had she would have been down for the count and unable to keep up the b battle. Instead, she released her arms and let the kick fall to the side after she had slowed it down. This gave her enough time to step back and release a combo of attacks. 

The fists that came at Shay while she tried to regain her stance were not the same as before. The speed at which Remey could swap the elemental knuckles was greater than any of them had expected. The dark knuckle had taken the wind knuckles place and was jabbing forward. 

Shadows pulled around towards Remey and Shay knew that she couldn\'t let it hit her. The darkness elemental mana would have the possibility of decaying effect and that was much too dangerous to let hit her even with her higher level than Remey. 

Shay dodged to the side and watched Remye\'s jab miss her easily. However, Remey had expected this to happen and had her other fist moving toward Shay already. The water elemental knuckle replaced the fire elemental knuckle and the ice that formed over it was completely missed by those watching. 

As her fist hit Shay the warriors and party watched were not sure what had happened. "She swapped to the water affinity knuckle. That was smart. Especially since the snow fell end increased the water elemental mana in the area last night." Walker had to [raise Remey. The swap had been smart and unexpected since she had started with the fire elemental knuckle as the opposite. 

"The environment seems to greatly affect the strength of Remey\'s elemental fist attacks." Su was just stating the obvious here. They were all looking at Shay who now had an entire arm covered in heavy frost. 

In a swift moment, Shay flexed and straightened her arm causing the frost and forming ice to fall from her. This was the exact surprise she was looking for in a fight. She had only ever faced warriors that could predict and force her actions in the royal water dragon\'s village. "Still thinking about using those fancy high kicks? I could due to learn another if you want to show it off a few more times."

"I could be convinced if you have the gall to show me another hammer fist. It seems like one of those skills that could benefit my style when I need a little extra force." Shay and Remey continued their exchange while Walker and Su realized that they were no longer watching two opponents spar. Instead, it was two fighters bonding over new moves. 

"I don\'t think we can learn anything from watching this. We should start training as well, leader." After watching for another minute, Walker followed Su and the other dragonkin warriors joined them. The entire sparring field had become noisy yet again while the soft flapping of Illias\' wings came from above as she watched over the matches. No one had noticed her arrival some time ago.
