Kate's slash tore through the fog, a crescent wave of pure starlight screaming forward.
Bradford, locked in his high-speed duel with the goatman, saw it coming in his periphery. In a burst of lightning, he disengaged, leaping clear just as the brilliant arc slammed directly into the creature's chest.
"ROARRR!"
The goatman roared in surprise and pain, staggering sideways under the force of the impact. It was an opening Bradford did not let slip.
Swoosh!
He was a blur of motion. His sword cut a clean, vertical arc through the air.
Splurt!
The tip of his blade bit deep, carving a massive, sizzling gash across the goatman's torso.
Despite the grievous injury, the creature seemed unnervingly unperturbed. It immediately retaliated, its claw swinging down in a vengeful, earth-shattering blow.
BOOM!
