In the blink of an eye, a black red substance appeared from nothing and formed a sword in Aaron's hand.
*CLANG!*
He parried Barry's sword with his own weird sword. Then he grinned at Barry with his distorted face. Feeling triumphant in his heart.
"You're weaker than me! Accept it!" Aaron said disdainfully.
Barry didn't respond back. He drew his sword and started attacking again. He slashed and thrust his sword in a graceful movement.
He still uses his Martial Arts skills for now and refrains from using too much of his Gravity Manipulation because he wants to save as much Magic Power as possible.
In this battle, Barry is sure that he won't get the chance to drink Magic Potions too often. Even when Danny and Seraphina fought with him.
This battle is meant to be intense, with stakes escalating as it progresses. Therefore, conserving Magic Power seemed like a prudent decision, Barry reasoned.
