BOOOOOOM!
Leira's clawed heel descended with the weight of a crushing avalanche, and Ash barely had time to brace himself.
His sword collided with her strike, the force of the blow sending a shockwave through the dungeon floor, shaking the very foundation beneath him.
The ground cracked as if it were breaking apart at the seams.
Ash felt his arms screeching in protest, the raw impact jolting his bones, and the force threatened to send him skidding across the rubble.
His boots dug into the floor, but the stone beneath him began to crumble. He could feel the pressure building in his legs as the impact pushed him back.
"Tch—!"
His teeth clenched, but Ash didn't have time to think. His instincts kicked in as his body slid across the ground, barely keeping his balance.
Leira twisted in mid-air, her other foot slicing downward in a deadly arc toward his head.
The speed was unnatural—Ash barely had time to react.
[Lightning Step!]
A crackle of energy shot through his veins.
