The sound of steel clashing rang out, sharp and unbearable, like the cry of tearing metal.
Sparks burst into the air where the tip of Vale's spear met Kael's sword. For a moment, the world seemed to freeze around that single clash and then.
BANGG!
The ground underneath quivered, forming a faint crack and shockwave spread across, stirring the wind.
Kael gritted his teeth as he felt the force of the impact shoot through his body. The vibration ran down his arms, striking his muscles and bones. His hands trembled as the numbing force spread, but he refused to let go. His eyes stayed locked on Vale, refusing to show weakness.
Vale roared and pressed harder, the spear trembling in his hands as he poured more mana into it. The air around them crackled, thunder rolling through the clash of weapons.
Then, with a burst of strength, the weapons split apart.
BANG!
