The rider's reaction was instinctive, only a bit too late. Reign's sword plunged into his chest, piercing between the plates of his armor and sending a surge of white lightning crackling through his body. The rider growled in pain as the sword stabbed his flesh, but it wasn't able to stab deep inside thanks to the plates since although Reign had stabbed between them, the plates were placed quite close, so only the thinnest part of Reign's sword could pass through easily, the rest was caught by the plates, stopping the sword from stabbing too deep and causing Reign to push forward with full force.
The white lightning did some damage, causing the darkness that was coiling around the rider to dissipate, but even then, it was not enough. The rider snarled at Reign and twisted away, wrenching himself free from the blade. Reign charged forward, refusing to let his advantage slip away, following forward with a rapid, brutal barrage of slashes.
