*BANG!
With a sharp bang, Jinn vanished from his spot, blinking forward in a flash of movement.
Crimson arcs of eidra cracked and danced across the ground behind him, searing faint scorch marks into the earth as he closed the distance between him and Hector in an instant.
In a blur, his blade swept outward in a powerful arc, aimed not at Hector's body—but directly at his sword.
Hector barely had time to see the attack.
He's too fast!
*CLANG!
The impact rang out like a thunderclap.
Jinn's strike smashed against Hector's blade with tremendous force, sending a pulse of pressure bursting out from the clash.
Dirt kicked up around them in a quick gust, and Hector staggered a step back.
But to Jinn's surprise, that was all.
Despite the strength and speed behind his attack, Hector's sword had absorbed most of the blow, its surface shimmering as it absorbed the force.
It hadn't shattered.
It hadn't even cracked.
