*thoom*
Lira and Kalia exploded forward in perfect coordination.
Lira dashed to his left, and her rapier was a silver blur as she lunged with a precise thrust aimed at Brandon's ribs.
The ether condensed along the blade into a needle-sharp point.
Kalia attacked high on the right, her gauntlets crackling with blue-white lightning.
She threw a straight punch as the air around her fist hummed and distorted from the raw power.
Brandon shifted his weight to the left that Lira's thrust sliced past his side, missing by inches.
In the same fluid motion, he dodged Kalia's punch effortlessly.
The crowd roared.
Lira recovered first, pivoting on her heel into a spinning slash that carved a wide arc across his midsection.
Kalia followed up immediately, stomping the ground to launch herself into a spinning backfist.
Brandon stepped inside the arc.
He slipped between them and his shoulder brushed Lira's as he passed, disrupting her balance for a second.
