"Hahaha. You see it now?"
Vyon taunted, landing another heavy strike that made the shield visibly splinter. "Your little ideals, the hope you give those pathetic commoners… "
Clang!
Again, Riku's shield crashed with Vyon's sword, pushing Riku back each time.
"I'm going to crush it all! Starting with you, and then this girl here, and then everyone who stands in our way!"
Vyon raised his black sword. This time, the red energy around it flared even more violently.
"This ends now!"
"Careful, Riku." Clara's voice rang out inside Riku's mind. Even the little girl Anya, observing the fight, felt her heart stop for a while.
Vyon went for a final, overwhelming overhead strike, with the sword bursting forth with he aura of the creep. It came down violently, and the mana shield shattered.
But Riku was no longer there.
Blink [-10 Goodwill Points]
He reappeared behind Vyon, his expression slightly smiling.
