บท 129: Vanquish, Manjushri

Sparks danced in the air as steel embraced each other, swing after swing, the collected minotaur managed to match each strike brought down towards him. It brought no frustration upon Ren, who felt nothing resembling negative emotion--in fact, he felt elated, as if floating about those gilded clouds. He moved so fluidly with a natural elegance as if dancing, using the beast's size as part of his own arsenal, stepping up his massive arms before swinging down upon him with his shining steel.

The impact collided against the hammer, a chunk of steel that acted as an impenetrable steel.

As the exchange persisted, Asterius' assault grew more aggressive, using his overwhelming brute strength to whip the colossal steel he wielded through the air with such ease. However, simply increasing one's dexterity wasn't enough to land a blow upon Ren in this state, maneuvering in such ways that looked as if he were performing acrobatic feats instead of dodging.
