A sharp whistle tore from above, closing in on Sylvester in less than a breath.
Clang.
The katana connected with the shield, sending a metallic chime that travelled through the air till it covered the entire battlefield.
Sylvester's knees buckled under the weight the person was applying, but he held on.
The person jumped back, rotating mid-air as they landed on the floor a few meters away.
She stared at Sylvester with scorn, one that made it feel like both of them had past grudges.
Sylvester rose from his knee, straightening his back as he stared at the lady.
Boom.
The earth blew into rubble, caving in as both sides flooded their bodies with aether.
Without saying any other words, they lunged.
The strength behind the push was enough to push nearby fighters back.
The gap between them was erased like it had never existed or altered in the first place.
Sylvester swung his sword in a wide horizontal arc towards her neck.
