Kazaan's shrill voice rang out once again from Barn's mouth, his body already drenched in blood.
His eyes remained fixed on Shodai Kitetsu, which had unleashed a bolt of red lightning the instant it left its sheath. There was something familiar in his gaze.
Nidai Kitetsu kept pulsing in Kazaan's hand, sending an intense hunger for battle from its blade into his heart.

The feverish look on Kazaan's face seemed never to fade. Even now, he stared at the man with the same crazed expression.

Seeing Kazaan focus entirely on the other man, Capulias slowly walked over to stand beside him, looking distinctly put out.

The vertical slash directly canceled out the attack hurtling toward him!
Then a torrent
