BOOOOM—!!!
Flames and golden energy clashed violently, the sheer force shaking the entire arena.
TANGG—! TINGG—! SWISH—!
Raye and Elias' swords met again and again, neither side giving an inch. Sparks flew, the heat of Raye's flames colliding against the overwhelming power of Elias's golden aura.
FWOOSH—
Elias launched a thrust, holding his sword with both hands, aiming at Raye's heart.
TIINNK—!
Raye deflected it upward with [Nyx].
Fwish—
The blade of Elias' sword brushed past the left side of his face.
"..."
But Raye didn't flinch or even showed any fear.
His eyes remained focused on Elias.
And instead—
SLASH—
He swung [Celestria] diagonally upward, trying to cut off Elias' right arm!
"?!"
Elias realized what Raye was planning to do.
"Urgh...!"
He forcefully twisted his body to the left, and in doing so—
Fwoosh—
Raye hit nothing but the air.
