Northern held his sword tightly, getting himself ready to face the oncoming onslaught yet again.
But in a blistering moment, a massive force pierced through them from behind. It happened so fast that any other onlooker aside from Northern would have caught nothing but a massive streak of yellow lightning that caused a shattered shockwave, one so powerful that the ground was upheaved.
Having seen it all happen, and how it happened, Northern frowned.
'He finally decides to draw his sword, huh.'
Northern watched as Cal swung downward, splashing off the gore on his blade. Then the guy returned his katana to its sheath behind his back and approached Northern.
"Did you feel that just now?" he asked as he reached Northern's front.
Northern looked at him suspiciously for a second and answered:
"Yes, I did." He glanced towards the mountain.
"Then I suppose that is your partner?"
Northern nodded, "Yes."
