Blades clashed as the Sword God and the God of Discipline began their long-awaited rematch. Neither surrendered initiative, dashing into each other with full-force.
Their first few strikes were plain and simple. No energy or special tricks were showed. Both swordsmen wielded their swordsmanship in the purest form as they traded blows. It wasn't common by any means among battles between gods but it was the common beginning to each of their duels.
"You're too slow!" Tyres shouted, boasting his superior level while quickening his step.
The Sword God's movements hastened yet remained perfectly balanced. He weaved through Jin's attack and prepared a harsh slash against the samurai's torso. But he never made contact.
For a moment, Tyres thought Jin broke the custom, something that Jin had always maintained till Tyres grew tired of the prolonged fight. But Tyres realized that Jin had effectively dodged the attack and was already preparing his own in response.
