Whoosh!
A purple energy blade more than ten centimeters long extended from the dagger's tip. As it swept through the air, it plowed out a thin black line, as though slicing a crack through space.
The crack continued to extend, drawing closer and closer to Richard before finally descending with a howl.

Killed in one move... killed in one move again... Richard gazed at Red
