The battle between Snow White and Double Blade continued, but ever since Double Blade's exoskeletal armor finished evolving, Snow White's High-Frequency Blade had become useless.
She had never expected anything to withstand high-frequency vibrations. There was only one possible explanation: the vibrations were not strong enough.
But the vibration frequency had already reached its limit. If she pushed it any higher, she would probably destroy herself before she could destroy Double Blade.
Snow White still held an advantage in speed for now, but if she could not break through Double Blade's defenses, that advantage would soon vanish too.

But it was already too late. Snow White's High-Frequency Longsword shattered, and she leaped clear of the battle, gritting her teeth against the pain.
Double Blade gave a bitter smile. "You hurt yourself almost as badly as you
