Alex shot towards the woman, who struggled a bit when swinging the axe, solely because the weapon weighed an astronomical amount. However, when she adjusted to the weight, she calmly utilized the blade of the axe to swing in the boy's direction.
Alex weaved, avoiding the attack narrowly before swinging Durendal towards Sarah. The woman simply placed the axe in front of her, shielding herself from the impact. However, the collision caused a stinging pain to appear in her palm.
The amethyst-eyed boy backed off, sensing the negative emotions Durendal transmitted. Without mana to draw its power, the sword was simply a hunk of metal that would break if the axe collided with it at full strength.
This would, of course, change when it rose in rank. However, in a battle against someone who was allowed to use mana, Durendal couldn't be of any help.
