Portro didn't waste any more breaths. Wind essence surrounded his twenty-krin body as he lashed out against the intruder. The great viper led with his fangs, rocketing toward Rhyner.
But Rhyner didn't struggle much with evading the strike. Lightning essence poured out of him as he sidestepped the attack.
"A dual cultivator…"
"I hope you're at least a challenge!" jokingly replying, Rhyner cloaked his body in dark essence as well. Surprisingly, the bright, white-yellow lightning essence and the black as night dark essence weren't clashing, but ebbing and flowing around Rhyner's body. "Now, don't waste my time!"
Rhyner threw himself into the snake's side. Despite being so large, Portro was agile and quick with his body of muscle. Slinking back just enough to miss the swing of Rhyner's sword was but a simple task.
"Good… Then you're worth the effort!"
