Nina didn't waste the opportunity she had created.
The very instant the explosion subsided, she exploded forward in a straight line, extending her flaming longsword directly before her as she aimed to drive through the damaged manifestation while it hadn't properly recover.
But even in its battered condition, the manifestation still reacted.
With remarkable desperation, it thrust out a hand and caught the blade between its palm and fingers just before it reached its chest.
The two were locked together for only a second until Nina let out a powerful roar, pouring her full strength behind the blade.
Right then, an explosion of flames erupted directly from the sword itself.
Nina seemed to have possessed an overwhelming advantage in her own battle.
-
Arael was having her own battle, high above the ground.
The Angel and her own Dark Nova manifestation streaked through the skies, constantly changing directions as they fought across the air.
