The Dragonslayer infused more magic power into his arms to prevent them from trembling each time his longsword met Arthur's blade.

'Pure Swordsmanship isn't enough to gain the upper hand…'

Coming to this realisation, Rael began to infuse his attacks with energy. He engulfed his blade in flames and swung it in a wide arc, sending a crescent-shaped wave of fiery energy towards Arthur.

On reflex, Arthur almost stopped it in time, but he switched motions at the last moment and used the Stellar guard to deflect it instead.

The clash of Rael's flames with Arthur's imperceptible Cosmic Energy shield created a shockwave that rippled through the battlefield, causing nearby soldiers to stagger.

"Oh, you're tired of a pure sword battle, huh? In that case."
