Clyde barely had time to react before the shining golden blade came streaking toward him. But with instinct honed by countless battles, he raised his arm, his Elderglass Sword intercepting the attack in a violent clash of energy.
CLANG!
The force behind the strike sent vibrations through his arm, but he held strong. His muscles tensing against the sheer power behind the blow.
The sword that had attacked him was massive — almost too large for a normal warrior to wield — yet it moved with unnatural speed. Clyde's sharp gaze followed its trajectory as he shoved it aside with a powerful push.
The golden weapon spun through the air, tumbling away. But before it could disappear into the battlefield's chaos, something happened.
FWOOOSH!
The sword reversed its path, streaking back toward its wielder like a shooting star.
