Sulyvhan struck his sword which slid over the demon's curved weapon to deflect the force, then struck immediately after. The impact of the blow forced the demon to retreat a few steps.
He delivered a straight thrust toward the demon's torso. The opponent parried at the last moment, but the shock made his entire arm vibrate. Sulyvhan followed up with an ascending slash that forced the demon to jump backward to avoid the blade.
The demon counterattacked with a powerful horizontal backhand. Sulyvhan simply ducked, the blade passing above his head. He rose immediately and delivered a descending strike that hit the demon's shoulder. The armor plate cracked and black blood flowed along the ebony arm.
