A humming, distorted field wrapped around the pitch-black blade of Night Singer. Hide violently swung the short sword upward, meeting the descending dark bone spear head-on.
CLANG!
The impact was catastrophic. But this time, Hide didn't go flying.
The moment the beast's immense physical force hit the sword, the mana field swallowed it entirely.
The kinetic energy was violently redirected, completely bypassing Hide's body and entered the ground beneath him. A shockwave moved outwards from his body and suddenly the ground beneath him shattered.
Hide suddenly had an idea... what if he could redirect the force back at the beast. He retreated his weapon back, but the beast pressed on and swung the spear again.
The spear arced from Hide's left side, Hide intercepted it and thought really hard about sending the force back to the spear, and it did. His hand did feel a bit weird as a lot of energy entered it and then left.
