SHINGGGGGG!
Aura flooded the blade and with all his technique Dominance combined with Rel's flow and poured into every molecule of the weapon with intent.
BAM!
The crescent slash erupted from the edge, a focused wave of energy that screamed across the void with black lightning crackling along its arc.
"It seems he still has that form..."
"...!"
The older Rel raised two fingers.
Aura coated them black, dense, fully mastered and he met the slash directly.
FWAKK!
The crescent of energy collided with his fingertips and stopped.
"WHAT?!"
The two forces pressed against each other for a single suspended moment, black lightning from both sides crackling and sparking against the void, before the older Rel pinched the blade of energy between his knuckles and held it in place like it was nothing more than a stiff breeze.
"You're too predictable," he said.
SWOSSH!
With a swing of his arm, he forced Rel to retreat once more.
