255 Exchanging some moves with Guildmates

Manu soon saw an opening and launched his deadly one-hit attack, 'Dark Thrust.' He released a dark presence; His spear got covered in liquid, like black energy. He jumped into the air before moving toward Rishi and attacking his chest through the opening.

Rishi looked at him, and his lips curled up. His eyes shone golden; Different from what others thought, he used 'shadow steps' and sidestepped. A blur appeared in his original place; He used his left hand and caught the spear from its tip, surprising Manu. He then swung his spear and hit Manu in the chest, throwing him back.

The others looked at him; they focused on his hand, which was releasing a chill presence. It was covered in ice, which melted, and his real hand could be seen. There was a faint scratch on his hand that recovered in the next second. They couldn't believe what they had seen—how could someone catch such a powerful attack with his bare hands?
