Max smiled faintly.
'Now we're getting somewhere.'
The Tenth Shadow attacked, moving so fast that his body vanished completely.
Max's Vein of Instinct reacted, and he turned as Dragonheart rose.
Clang!
Their attacks met, and the impact split the ground beneath them.
The Tenth Shadow kicked, and Max blocked with his arm before countering with his sword. The shadow twisted away.
Seven-colored lightning exploded beneath Max's feet, and he followed instantly.
Another clash came, and then another.
The beautiful plain began vanishing under the force of their battle. Grasslands turned into craters, hills collapsed, and the earth was carved open by sword force and shockwaves.
