Velren's breath came in ragged bursts as he ducked under the wyvern's claws, its talons raking the air just inches from his head. The massive beast refused to let up, each of its movements sending shockwaves through the ground. The wind from its crippled wings howled around him, yet Velren's mind was still preoccupied with the strange, flickering rifts appearing whenever he swung his katana.
'Now, what to do..?'
He dodged another snap of the wyvern's jagged maw, rolling across the dirt before flipping back onto his feet. His gaze darted to the flickering scars in space, remnants of his previous slashes. They didn't seem to harm the wyvern directly—at least not yet.
"Alright," Velren muttered under his breath. "Let's figure this out."
With a swift motion, he swung his katana at one of the lingering rifts, aiming to see if it did anything—
SHING!
The moment his blade made contact, the rift simply… split intersect into one another.
Now there were two of them.
Velren blinked.
