This wasn't the first time Dusk had infused mana into his weapon and turned it into a lightsaber. But unlike what he did 5 years ago, this time his mana infusion was flawless.
He could only infuse his weapon for a short duration before. But after a lot of time and training, he could consistently fight with his mana-infused sword.
Riley seemed a bit apprehensive to confront Dusk when he saw his mana control. But that hesitation only lasted an instant before the mercenary took out his battle axe. But he didn't move from his spot and stayed there observing Dusk.
But Dusk wanted to end this quickly and leave the area as soon as possible.
"Forgive me but I do not have an abundance of time. So I shall be making the first move."
He leaped toward Riley and swung his sword with all his weight behind it. The sword seemed like it would cut through the air itself but Riley's battle axe intercepted it, nonetheless.
