[Huh...I guess this is actually the time something different will occur for once,] Snatcher noted with a smile on their face. [It feels weird to be hopeful for our chances for once.]

"Neither. This is just...what a battle between high-tiered warriors looks like."

A slugfest accompanied by explosive flashes of light, concussive sounds that echoed throughout the cavern, and vicious blows that would've killed the average aether warrior three to four times over.
