*Bang!
Jinn dashed toward the beast, hand already resting on the hilt at his side.
As he closed the distance, time seemed to slow.
The camp, the dust, the roars—all of it muted beneath the burning focus in his focused eyes.
Then, in a single blur of motion, he drew.
*Shing!
His blade flashed forward, slicing through the air in a wide crimson arc. The radiant trail screamed toward the beast with explosive speed.
But the creature was fast too.
It brought its massive black greatsword up just in time.
The two blades collided in a thunderous crash, crimson and black eidra erupting on impact. The force rattled the ground beneath their feet, a shockwave rippling out across the camp.
"Now!" Jinn shouted, his body tensed, teeth clenched as he held his sword against the massive weight bearing down on him. His arms trembled—not from fear, but from the monstrous force of the beast's power.
