An intense fight [2]

A powerful ripple of energy swept past as an axe clashed against a wooden staff. A shocking scene ensued after the two weapons collided. Instead of the staff breaking apart upon making contact with the axe, the axe bounced off the body of the staff and a small opening appeared. 

"You think your mediocre weapon can go against my staff? An <SS > ranked artifact?"

Durara mocked.

She obviously did not miss the opening.  Pushing her palm forward, her hand touched Ultruk's bare body. 

BANG—

A powerful blast sounded and Ultruk was pushed backward, only halting when his back crashed against the wall behind him.

Durara had come on top at their first true exchange.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Not so far from them, the situation with Waylan looked a lot more controlled. He skillfully blocked the attacks coming from the duergars standing behind Durara.
