Reunion, Unable To Defy

Shiiiiing! Phhhtk!

Out of nowhere, a thin yet brilliant ray of light shone down right in between Astratis and Kyvernos.

Simultaneously, a stream of thick black liquid could be seen oozing out from Kyvernos' hand where his index finger had once been. As for the index finger itself, it had been cleanly severed by the ray of light!

In the following moment, the black and white world slowly began to vanish as movement returned to the frozen world.

Then, as if having never been interrupted, Astratis' and Tal'Nis' attacks carried forward with unbelievable momentum.

...BOOOOOOM!

Following the first blast, a series of cascading explosions occurred—each more powerful than the last.

Due to the water-like nature of Tal'Nis sword intent, it acted as a catalyst for Astratis' lightning. Therefore, when the two attacks made contact, they fed off one another in a constant loop of destruction.
