Inwardly chuckling at Lourdes, I lunged forth and slashed downwards at her, causing her to spontaneously react as she barely managed to block Hokori, though I had managed to push her off balance, allowing me to more easily knock her sword away, yet instead of attacking her with my blade, I thrust my hand forward, causing a sizeable purple palm to manifest between the two of us as I commanded it forward, hitting her.
Smashing Lourdes into the wall, I disperse my purple palm before powerfully slashing downwards, launching a heavenly scar right toward her as it slices through the air; though at the last possible second, she dodged out of the way, yet she wasn't completely unscathed, her back had suffered a few minor injuries.
"That is quite cheap of you, my descendant." Said Lourdes lightly with a faint frown as she eyed Elif, who smirked in amusement before flying towards her, avoiding the slowly approaching rainbow orbs of Qi.
"Ho, don't blame me, Lourdes; my sheer beauty is a weapon in itself, an undodgeable one at that." Remarked Elif with a faint smirk as he winked at Lourdes, using his movement technique to create various afterimages while approaching her.
Lourdes didn't reply to me and merely rolled her eyes as she copied me, dashing towards me using the same movement technique. The clashing of our blades was heard throughout the large, white room, causing sparks to fly everywhere as we sought to defeat each other.
As time passed, we continued to grow more accustomed to our fighting style, causing even more injuries to lace our bodies; though while my mind was mostly filled with pain from my body, I couldn't help but faintly smile as Hokori clashed with Lourdes's sword for the umpteenth time. It's been so long since I've fought someone who could truly give me a challenge, and I wished to savor this moment since I knew no one would ever make me smile like this. Not Aurora, Tiamat, Lucifer, Cordelia, and definitely not Comet; without them teaming up or me purposefully limiting myself, I will never experience this again with someone from my generation, and I wished to dearly savor this fight.
Getting my blade knocked away, I used the butt of my hilt and slammed it against the rapidly approaching blade, pushing it downwards as it just narrowly missed piercing my heart; with Lourdes still extending her blade, I swiftly slashed forward, yet her skill with the blade was impressive in her own right even if not exactly on par with mine. With her barely blocking my attack, I quickly retracted my arm and lowered my stance as I began to rapidly attack Lourdes with the Fairy Sword Dance, forcing her onto the defense as I continuously pushed her backward; she was able to do nothing against my rapidly increasing attacks and my illusory blade.
However, my current situation was against me as the rainbow orb of Qi she had made long ago was creeping up on me from behind; within mere seconds, it would arrive and explode once it came close enough to me. The sheer Qi alone I could sense from them was something I was uncertain I could survive; thankfully, only one Orb was remaining as I managed to set off the other ones without getting injured, since despite how slow they moved, in a confined space like this along with Lourdes, they proved to be very dangerous.
However, right now, I decided to forgo leaving as I upped the intensity of my attacks, my blade losing its physical appearance as it turned into nothing but a streaking color of silver as I violently attacked Lourdes, capitalizing on her mistake when blocking my illusory sword to knick her body.
The fact that I pushed her back delayed the orb from reaching me, but Lourdes herself also took a slight gamble and stopped moving, entering an even worse position as I could now inflict even worse wounds on her body, though it didn't seem to affect her as she stared unflinchingly at the Orb behind me.
'There!' Thought Elif solemnly as he saw a brief opening within Lourdes's defense, and without a moment of hesitation, he took the chance.
Launching a powerful heavenly scar at the opening, I couldn't even witness my attack, as I was promptly enveloped with a powerful explosion of Qi, causing me to inwardly hiss as I felt my back sear in pain before it was felt all through my body.
