Crew members on both sides sprang into action.
Rayleigh used Geppo to appear before Reinhardt.
Without a word, the two launched into a fierce clash.
Terrifying air currents swirled around Reinhardt's body, allowing him to fly and move swiftly through the air.
Condensed air clung to Reinhardt's blade, adding a blast of air and a keen cutting force to every slash.
Throughout the battle, long dragons formed from air currents kept lunging at Rayleigh.
