I swiftly swung my sword, cleaving through the flames. I shaped my Aura into several dragon heads, their eyes scanning every direction as Zephyrus concealed himself within the inferno and surged toward me from the left.
"I see."
I closed my eyes and focused, extending my Aura outward. In an instant I intercepted his attack, thrusting my blade forward repeatedly while Zephyrus moved with equal speed, parrying and countering my strikes.
And it worked...?
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Wow!"
I was forced back as my sword lost its momentum. My brother's slender rapier—so much smaller than my massive blade—unleashed a shockingly powerful force with every strike.
No... this was his own strength.
"Golden Phoenix!"
"CRYAAAA!"
In that moment, he caught me completely off guard!
His Aura erupted in a blazing inferno of golden flames that engulfed me and hurled me backward with overwhelming force, sending me flying over a kilometer through the air.
BOOOM!
