Progress and Another (End)

"[Great Impact]!"

Boom!

I block Millonia's sword with Rexorem. The ground beneath us immediately develops a crater as the shockwave of our clash sweeps the entire Arena.

Millonia is grinning madly as if she is possessed by the condemned soul of a Godfiend. The power she puts on her sword is getting stronger in each passing second; I find it harder and harder to hold her sword off.

Tapping the ground with my foot once, an earth spike swiftly emerged from the ground. It failed to skewer her, however it managed to make her take a step back.

I make a distance too, and glance briefly at my trembling hands. "That doesn't even count as an attack, huh? Was it a fluke or has she already figured out the way to make my Origin useless?" I am slightly disappointed that I don't get any power-up.
