The few seconds Vazgan had before impact were enough for him to realise that if Duke Charles hit him while in that state, it would not be good for both him and his mount.
He made the split-second decision to take a similar action to his opponent, getting off the horse and blitzing straight towards the incoming Duke of the North.
**DOOOON!!!
The two streaks of orange and blue auras clashed mid-way, and naturally, the ground beneath their feet gave up on withstanding the force of their clash, cracking open and cratering deeply as the two swordsmen swung their weapons against each other.
Bit by bit, they slightly bypassed their defences as small cuts began to accumulate on each other's bodies, however, the two grandmasters possessed powerful regenerative capabilities and these small wounds easily healed up in seconds.
Vazgan's eyes narrowed when he noticed that despite inflicting cuts with wisps of death energy infused into his sword, Duke Charles still healed from them.
