An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Galactia!” Aurora advanced with her blade held firmly in both hands as she slashed horizontally.

Blinding flashes of blade light erupted and swept toward Crystal like a violent storm. The air whistled with the sheer power of her strikes, and the intensity was terrifying.

In contrast to her previous rapid and aggressive assaults, Aurora now revealed her ultimate technique-the Phoenix Dance.

A legendary female grandmaster created this superior blade technique a century ago. It melded powerful offense and defense with a touch of feminine elegance. It was beautiful and deadly.

“Vibro Slash!” Crystal stood firm and composed as the blade light surged toward her. She shook the longsword in her hand violently and thrust it out suddenly.

An expert observer would notice that her sword was vibrating intensely in a small, controlled manner. Though it appeared unremarkable, it concealed a profound mastery of swordsmanship.

With a series of metallic clashes, Crystal’s vibrating sword shattered Aurora’s blade light and struck her weapon directly.

Aurora’s assault momentarily faltered as her dual blades were pushed back. Undeterred, she swiftly retracted her blades and spun like a spinning top. She used her momentum to deliver a faster, stronger blow toward Crystal.

“Darkocto!” At that moment, Aurora’s blades turned black with faint water- like patterns rippling along their edges.
