The use of a Spirit inside an attack didn't just increase its power, but also made it directly connected to the person with a much stronger connection than what Alex had fought against until now.
Wangju's sword burst with a brighter green flame than it had before, and when he was ready, he swung.
Even before the attack left the sword, Alex was already preparing to counter it. The distance made things hard, so he didn't immediately do it, but he was already in that mindset. So, when the attack was halfway through, he pushed the strength of his Intent into the incoming attack.
Alex used his Intent to fight Wangju's Intent, but that Intent was constantly rejuvenating, making it difficult for Alex to completely stop it. His mental pain reached a threshold that he hadn't reached in a long time and crossed it.
Alex nearly saw black for a second before catching hold of himself.
He knew it would be difficult.
He didn't know it would be this difficult.
