Amiya attacked low, her scythe flashing as Reaper fully manifested. Janus came high, crimson claws extending from his right gauntlet as Cú Chulainn manifested. They struck simultaneously from different angles.
Honor's banner became blurred.

The entire exchange took three seconds.
Honor stood at the center, completely unfazed. The torn banner settled back into its ready position as if nothing had occurred.
Eight thousand souls versus one thousand. The gap manifested in speed, strength, and durability all multiplied eight times over.

Blue ripples swept from beneath Reinhard's feet, and time didn't stop, but it crawled. Everything around has slowed down as if it were frozen.
