The weight of my sword pressed him down until the ground beneath him cracked and dented.
"Ughhh…" he groaned, his teeth rattling as he clenched them too hard.
But the crimson flare wrapping around my blade didn't fade. It only burned brighter.

A smile stretched across my face, wide and dark. "You and I may have the same aura output… but my control is way higher than yours."
"Brughhh…" He coughed blood, the warm splash hitting my legs, painting them in red.
His lips quivered as he bit down on his lower one, and then, I saw it in his eyes, the moment he made his choice.
