A Strong Sword

Alex hadn't fought a battle this close in a long time, so he was quite excited. He was equal in strength with the woman in front of him, probably even stronger currently, but couldn't use his strongest attacks because he knew it was going to be blocked.

He needed it to be blocked, in fact, so that she could not stop it the next time. But if she dodged it, it was an attack wasted. So, he continued attacking until he found the right moment.

Alex had disrupted her attacks with his Ice spears and caused her to momentarily be blinded from everything. Then, he teleported right beside her, his technique already prepared and slashed.

A bangle that the woman wore shined brightly all of a sudden, creating a large, golden barrier around the woman that stopped Alex's Endless Severing Sword.
