"Got you…" He hissed.
Pride's eyes narrowed, "You fool—"
Before she could finish, a blur of gold-green light appeared at her side—a streak so fast it left afterimages in the world.
Essa moved faster than the eye could follow her rusted sword, slashing upward in a final, vicious arc.
SSSSHHH!
The blade cut through the air... through flesh!!
Chucck!
Fallen Pride's wrist burst open in a flare of red light. Leo fell back down due to the sudden force, landing hard.
Fallen Pride too staggered back, falling down on the ground.
THUD!
THUD!
Fallen Pride landed on the ground with a heavy force that almost cracked the earth. Leo managed to fall down without many major injuries, rolling to the side, panting heavily, as a single drop of blood dripped from his nose.
He ignored the pain and looked at Pride's sword, which was… far from her, just lying on the ground.
He spat blood and pushed himself up.
"Essa—now!"
