The powerful vertical current descended like a giant dragon from the heavens and attacked Locke, only to be slashed in two by the claw formed from the Red Gold Sacred Peach. At the same time, however, Locke's defense field began producing sparks as spells scraped against one another under the tremendous pressure, and cracks even began to appear.
Countless streams of Cold Sky River water poured into his nostrils, mouth, and ears. Even a layer of frost formed over the cheekbones on his face.
