Thus, after breaking open the girl's sword, the elder's momentum did not cease; with a twist of his wrist, the lower half of his sword directly bullied its way through her defense.
An adequately simple and forceful slash and stab, a jingling sound rang. The old man was like a butcher elegantly severing the full force advance of the young lady, then his sword was already looming on her chest and abdomen.

It was only normal for the girl to have some burst of powerRemaining under these circumstances.
