"Clang— Clang clang—"
That was the grating sound of the black blade's edge fiercely scraping against sharp claws.
Above the skies of Norwich, Reiger hovered there, raising the black blade in his hand, blocking a terrifying attack that generated a piercing sonic boom.
The claws swung by Woodworth, wolf-like, landed on the blade of the black sword, creating an intense friction with it.
Sparks burst continuously between the two, as Reiger and Woodworth, separated by the sparks, the black blade, and the claws, looked at each other—one with icy indifference, the other filled with murderous intent.
"Boom!"
In the next second, an impact wave forced both contenders back, one retreating rapidly backward, while the other fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the roof of a building, crushing it to pieces.
"Gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh—!"
