Griseo vs. Pelois 4

"Starlight's Blessing!"

Eden's music flowed across the starry curtain, shifting into a gentler passage at that very moment.

Griseo let out a soft shout as well. The starry curtain above the domain began driving Ether Energy into a rapid surge. More and more starlight descended from the dome, all of it pouring into Griseo's body.

Griseo's presence rose steadily, just like Pelois's had earlier.

At the center of the battle, Pelois's gaze sharpened.

I can't let her finish charging up!

The thought had barely formed when Pelois dashed forward. Corona tore through the starlight in his hand as he slashed straight at Griseo.

Interrupting her technique might have been a little underhanded, but he was already at a disadvantage. If he let her successfully gather her strength, defeat would be certain.

Griseo neither dodged nor retreated. Gathering the power of the stars, she met his attack with a sword strike.

Boom—!

Corona collided with the light sword, and terrifying energy shockwaves exploded outward from the two of them.

The factory floor beneath their feet cracked in response, web-like fissures spreading in every direction. Fortunately, The Stars domain held it together. Otherwise, the entire factory would likely have collapsed on the spot.

"Fading Radiance!"

At such close range, Pelois used the force of the clash to twist aside. His sword turned with him as he forcefully swung out a second strike!

"Eternal Illumination's Beacon!"

Griseo swiftly swung her light sword twice, sending a cross-shaped slash straight at him!

The two techniques collided, and a violent rebounding force suddenly erupted.

The two figures were sent flying in opposite directions.

A wall stood directly behind Pelois, giving him the perfect point to brace himself against. He kicked off the wall with one foot, instantly changing direction as he lunged back at Griseo.

Griseo,
