Kael sidestepped as one blade scraped sparks off his vambrace, but the second whistled toward his neck.
He ducked, twisting into a low sweep. Emberstorm's edge hissed through air, clipping Darrox's thigh guard.
Sparks erupted as the molten coating absorbed most damage, yet Darrox still grunted. He retaliated with a shoulder charge. Kael hopped back, flipping once, landing on a delivery truck's hood.
Darrox raised both axes overhead. Runic tattoos along his forearms pulsed crimson as he used his [Seismic Sundering] skill—he slammed both blades into concrete. Shockwaves rippled outward, shredding the roadway and sending cars tumbling. Jagged spikes shot toward the truck.
Kael's Sense kicked in. He jumped high, spinning while using his [Inferno Splitting Slash] skill.
Emberstorm flared as a half-moon of blazing scarlet shot downward, colliding with the onrushing spikes. Explosion! Super-heated fragments rained.
