Field testing (3)

Looking at the elder's vaguely humanoid form, Dax got a really bad premonition and not just because of the sword it had pulled out. Before he could voice that warning however, the elder disappeared, reappearing only a split second later right in front of Lux.

(!!!!)

As the elder swung down its sword Lux had no time to think, thus she reacted completely on instinct. Bringing up her sword to meet the downwards swing while holding it in a reverse grip, Lux didn't even have time to be surprised when she didn't cut through the elder's sword, instead, she was forced to take a step back as the elder stepped in and struck with its cursed sword for the second time within a second, stopping the downward strike before it hit the ground, bringing it upwards for a second strike. Sidestepping the second strike with only a hair's breadth, Lux continued her retreat away from the elder as it slowly lost steam before eventually disappearing once more.
