The battle was so intense that the VIP audience completely forgot that they could change the maze's environment at any moment.
The clash between the warrior and the swordsman was just that intense.
Both Mares and Esmina carried serious injuries through their bodies. Mares were covered in slashes; the older ones had finally regenerated but new ones just substituted them.
Having changed his weapon back to sword form Mares attempted to test Blade Rain against the swordsman.
From Esmina's point of view, he could see the silver-eyed blade slowing down, each of his movements clear was clear as day for him.
For most people battle art would not be an easy one to counter but for someone who lived and died for the sword, Esmina already knew what to do.
He pushed the tip of his sword forward at the same moment the silver-eyed brought him down, sliding through the sharp sides of Mares' weapon, going all the way to hit him on his chest.
