Clang!
The ringing of blade against blade resounded without end!
"Keh-heh, Moon-Worshiping Flow Sword Dance!"
Swish, swish, swish, swish! Sana crossed her twin blades, her swordplay impossible to trace. There were only slashes of utmost speed and utmost ferocity... and from the outset, she dictated the pace of the attack!
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
Under this overwhelming barrage of slashes, Ryushiki could only defend, unable to find a single opening to counterattack!
Clang!
On the one thousand and first slash, the Truth-Seeking Orb All-Killing Ash Bones Blade Ryushiki had raised to block snapped in two!
"!" Stunned, Ryushiki activated Fudouni Fate... and evaded the blade descending toward his head!
Fudouni Fate bypassed the five senses, allowing the body to dodge before the brain could react-and seize every opening to attack while evading!
Fudouni Fate was flawless in principle, but its actual effectiveness still depended on the user's physical capabilities. If the body could not keep up, it could not perform the necessary evasive or offensive movements!
Compared with over a hundred years ago, Ryushiki's physical capabilities had undergone a qualitative leap, greatly improving Fudouni Fate's effectiveness in combat!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Sana's whirling twin blades seemed to leave no gaps, yet not one struck Ryushiki... instead, his sudden counterattacks, slipping into every opening, disrupted her rhythm!
The tide turned, but Sana only grew more excited. "Keh-heh... that's more like it! This is what I've been waiting for! Now you're worth showing my real skills!"
Bzzzt!
Sana's eyes shone.
-Strong-Willed Mad God!!
"Keh-ha! Keh-ha! Keh-ha!"
Madness filled Sana's expression, and her laughter grew even more bloodthirsty.
With that madness, her assault intensified like wave upon raging wave!
Crack! Crack!
The longer Ryushiki fought, the more alarmed he became, for... spasms of stabbing pain coursed through his joints and muscles. This
