Anthony Vs Raelith-1

Anthony and Raelith instantly vanished from their positions at the sound. They reappeared at each other's former locations, backs facing one another, their katanas sheathed. Neither flinched. Neither blinked. They simply stood there, like mirrored statues poised to act.

The very moment they reappeared, the hissing sound of two katanas being drawn followed. Then, a heavy clang of metals clashing exploded outward immediately after the hiss, as though both sounds struggled to keep up with their owners, as if even sound itself was slower than them.

Then suddenly, still standing with their backs to each other, they took a step back in perfect harmony. Their movement was fluid, flawless.

As if synchronized by a divine rhythm, the hissing sound of katanas being drawn repeated, almost like a haunting echo, as they vanished once more in the blink of an eye.
