3 - A new, incredibile power

«Take... this!» Sasha's scythe rips through the air with the force and roar of thunder, descending from above in a powerful arc toward Kajetan. Despite the blue energy sword extending from his arm, Kajetan chooses to evade the attack with a swift lateral dash rather than blocking and countering.

Sasha's blade inevitably strikes the ground, triggering a devastating explosion—lightning and scarlet bolts erupt, carving a deep crater at the point of impact. A dense cloud of dust rises, spreading through the confined air of the energy field in which they are fighting—a barrier created by Daphne, identical in nature to the one used for familiar battles.

Daphne, Gerard, Dorje, and I stand outside the barrier, silently observing the clash—though keeping up with their movements requires considerable effort. Sasha and Kajetan move at a speed that pushes the limits of our perception, and I am certain they are not even fighting at full strength yet.
