Before Artemis' and Hera's attacks collided with each other, the latter thought quickly, 'Sword of the North, fifth form: Crescent Slash!'
That Martial Arts skill paired with his Runic Art doubled her strength, to say the least. Also, the most impressive about that combination was the power and skill. The power and brutality of the spell together with the skill and special effects of that calculated move of the Martial Arts was surely the peak of what a true fighter could reach.
Hera needed a lot of concentration to unleash both techniques, but once she could do so...
'Even a weakling like me can fight on even grounds with a monster like you if I fight this way!' she thought as her blade collided against Artemis'.
The explosion of power was so intense and bright that Hera's body got numb and her vision, blurred for a while. She couldn't even open her eyes for some seconds due to the pain that she was feeling there. It was excruciating.
