The millisecond our boots bit into the snow, we launched ourselves forward again, trading a relentless, blinding barrage of strikes at lightning speed.
Ten strikes a second. Every single pass of our blades ripped through the air, sending severe disturbances echoing through the natural flow of the local Force.
As the metallic screams of our swords filled the empty plain, a wide, genuine smile spread across her face. "Magnificent! Such striking power... it is like trading blows with a mountain!" she whispered, her voice laced with pure amusement.
Is she enjoying this? My muscles were screaming, every single impact feeling like I was slamming my blade against the bedrock of the planet itself. There was no denying it now—this was the power of the second strongest entity in the entire world.
