Crimson Hell Domains

Che!

Alix's sword pierced right by John's neck, who had managed to move it to the side at the very last moment. A thin red line appeared on John's neck as he dashed backwards, as a small amount of blood began to drip down his neck.

John pressed his hand against his neck and inspected the blood for a moment, before his focused eyes turned back to Alix.

"Not bad," John replied, as if the move that had nearly just taken his life was nothing worth panicking over.

Alix smiled as he saw John act like this. "Even now you're putting on this fake display of confidence? Let's see how long that smile of yours can last as absolute power cuts you down."

Che!

Alix's figure blurred once again, and he appeared at John's side in an instant. His sword slashed out with incredible speed, as it aimed to cleave him in half. 

Peng!
