Clang~ As the two swords clashed, Shard instinctively raised his hand to parry and counter, executing a perfect riposte. But the Diviner seemed to have anticipated the trajectory of the longsword in Shard's hand, and after his own blade was deflected, he swiftly regained his balance. With his empty left hand, he grabbed the blade of the Night Watchman, while his right longsword directly thrust towards Shard's throat.
Shard quickly twisted his wrist, maneuvering the sharp Night Watchman blade to cut off half of the opponent's hand. At the same time, he dodged the path of the longsword thrust by the Diviner and then stabbed towards the opponent's heart.
Shard's thrust was precise and fierce, accurately hitting the target and penetrating the opponent's chest. However, he wasn't able to completely avoid the Diviner's sword, as it eventually grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
