Darian and Atlas only stood across from each other with their blades drawn for a moment before they engaged in combat.
Darian used a large sword made for blunt impact, while Atlas used his much smaller and more graceful chain sickles. The dichotomy created an interesting scene for onlookers, as they knew that the result wouldn't be decided by the size of the blade.
Their first contact was already larger than anything that the rest of the group was able to produce. Evidently, Darian was much stronger than those who followed him.
BANG!
A sword and two sickles clashed against each other, their metal scraping and screeching. Two different powerful signatures of qi clashed against each other in the air between the two combatants, as if their auras were trying to determine a victor before they could.
