The next thing they knew, Marco's Demon sword emanated a brilliant crimson glow. An eerie blood-red sword light whistled through the air, slashing toward Dustin at the speed of light.

Along its path, the very air seemed to distort, and the ground was left with a deep, scorched gash as if it had been seared by flames.
