("Something like this should never exist.")
Mai's thoughts came sharply as her body lowered in one smooth motion, the Abyssal Warden's enormous jagged blade screamed overhead.
The force behind the swing ruptured the storm. Snow exploded apart in violent spirals as the dark blade carved through the air where Mai's head had been moments prior, the pressure alone splitting the frozen ground behind her into deep fractures.
Mai's form slid across the snow as she ducked beneath the strike, one hand grazing the frozen surface for balance as she moved to counter.
A smooth leap carried her backward through the blizzard, violet hair whipping violently behind her while her eyes never once left the towering creature before her. Even with the distance she created, the pressure radiating from the Abyssal Warden remained suffocating.
It stood there in the storm like something made for hatred. Or perhaps something much more malevolent.
