"Clang!"
In the crisp clashing of blades, a sword and an unsheathed knife collided heavily, creating a spray of sparks that burst forth like fireworks.
One of the Lees brothers had swung his sword at Reiger, who was engulfed in flashes of lightning, but it struck Reiger's steady knife scabbard instead, missing him.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Just then, the other two Lees brothers attacked from the left and right sides, moving swiftly to Reiger's flanks. With a faint whooshing of air, they slashed their swords—one aiming for Reiger's left side and the other for his right side, each angle almost perfectly mirroring the other and casting symmetrical lines of cold light.
Reiger didn't hesitate. His figure flashed, darting backward like a true bolt of lightning, evading the two symmetrical strikes that came at him.
Yet the Lees brother who had initially swung at Reiger also moved. He leapt into the air and once again aimed a downward slash at Reiger.
