Sigma's next teleport flickered.
His movement stopped for a fraction.
Mingyue didn't miss it.
She dashed in.
Her swords crossed.
SWOSH! SWOSH!
Two slashes aimed for Sigma's chest and throat.
Sigma blocked with his forearm.
CLANG!
Ice shards exploded.
His metal skin was carved, leaving a thin line.
Ice then started spreading from the wound, crawling across his arm and shoulder.
Sigma's eyes flashed red.
His fingers moved.
A space blade formed.
It sliced toward Mingyue's waist.
Mingyue bent backward, avoiding it by a hair.
She stepped in and stabbed straight at his heart.
BAM!
Her sword stopped midair.
Space compressed.
The distance between her blade and Sigma's chest became distorted, like the last inch turned into a wall.
Sigma punched.
BAM!
Mingyue crossed her arms and blades to block.
The force still threw her back.
Sigma vanished again.
He appeared above her.
His fist came down.
Alex appeared at Sigma's side.
