Yet the situation continued to escalate.
After the third Longsword strike, Clear Rain couldn't maintain the stiffness lock any longer.
With any weapon's Ordinary Attack, stiffness would gradually decrease with each strike; otherwise, it would result in numerous infinite combos and disrupt game balance.
Unable to sustain the stiffness after the third hit, Clear Rain directed Brand to slightly bend his knees and crouch before leaping high into the air.
Rising Dragon with the Longsword!
Brand twisted gracefully in midair, lifting Walnut into the air with the edge of his blade.
Being airborne, Walnut still couldn't retaliate!
Then, Clear Rain, with sharp eyes and quick hands, followed up with another Longsword Ordinary Attack in midair.
His blade traced a cross-shaped X, slashing Walnut with two consecutive attacks.
As both were about to land, Clear Rain took a small hop and executed another aerial Cut Down.
