BOOOOM!
An earth shattering explosion shook the cavern as Nero and Umaga clashed. A wave of violent, red mana rushed outwards, washing over both friend and foe, and causing damage to them.
When the dust cleared, Leon saw Umaga's head still pressed against Nero's sturdy shield. A trail of blood ran down the front of the shield, evidence of Umaga's injury.
"Grrrr... Scum! I will end you!" From his evident anger, Umaga was clearly enraged at being injured by Nero. He reared back his head and swung a clawed arm at Nero.
"You spoke with disrespect towards my master. You must die!" Nero angrily replied as he repositioned his shield to block off Umaga's arm. When the collision came, his sword was already swinging in an upwards arc to slice off the offending arm, but Umaga was quite fast, easily withdrawing his arm form harm.
