"Clang—!"
The blade and spear shaft crossed, sparking a crisp ring.
The Godslayer wielding the holy spear and the former Heretic God gripping the divine blade both burned with unyielding fighting spirit in their eyes as they mercilessly swung the legendary weapons in their hands at each other.
"Clang—clang—clang—clang—!"
