Blade [3]

"COME!"

Damien's roar exploded through the atmosphere and sparked Su Ren's fighting spirit into a burning blaze.

He slammed his foot into the ground and shot forward like a comet. His blades moved before he even reached Damien, twirling around each other like twin snakes in a mysterious dance.

And suddenly, they were in Damien's face.

His eyes widened. It was too late for him to react. The strange sword dance wasn't an illusion technique, but an ethereal misdirection that Damien couldn't see through with his base abilities.

'Shit!'

Damien twisted his body so the attack would hit a more manageable area, but before he could finish his motion…

Clash!

His arm rose, completely instinctually, and wielded Mirage to expertly parry Su Ren's blades.

'Huh…?'

Damien's mouth opened slightly in astonishment. Without warning, he had become a spectator in his own body.
