Amiya lifted the blade, a replica of Chi Xiao forged from the memories' of Ch'en. Whether it be the strain and heat melting her muscles everytime she practiced the sword's arts, or the joy of finding a breakthrough in finally understanding it; it embedded itself deep within her psyche.
FrostNova and Ch'en turned around.
The latter looked upon the replica in shock, "what..? Is that?" She couldn't begin to describe the surprise in herself.
FrostNova confirmed it for her, "it's just like your sword," before turning back to the deadpan expression of Kashchey.
"Ah, so it is as true as a replica gets of that blasted blade," the snake spoke out, patting off the dust on their shoulder. "So you truly are the Lord of Fiends, no fallacy plagues your identity."
"What kind of magic..?" Ch'en wanted to question the girl, but turned back to Kashchey, keeping a mental note to ask her what it was later.
Amiya turned to Kashchey, stepping up forward beside FrostNova and Ch'en, "I'm nothing more than a person." A resolute voice came up within her as she gripped the replica, Ying Xiao.
Ch'en wanted to ask how Amiya knew all of the abilities in which she had trained so many years for, how she was able to create the sword itself in her hands, but more pressing matters came.
To handle Chi Xiao was more so a state of mind rather than sword mastery, the blue haired Lung was starting to believe that now.
"...It seems we're on even footing now, aren't we, Kashchey?" FrostNova glared at the standing form of Talulah.
"Such pride over a simple weapon?" It was actually far more than that, but Kashchey would never admit it, "I've battled it far more times than you have breathed in your lifetime, I know this song and dance anywhere."
With a lift of their blade, Kashchey shot a spiraling flame into the sky, parting the black clouds of ash; but not revealing the clear blue sky.
FrostNova glanced at Amiya, the latter reciprocating it as they nodded.
The blade slammed down vertically, a great mountain descending upon their form as Ch'en and Amiya rushed forward, both placing their swords in a sheath.
The Cautus girl did not have a sheath, but she could replicate it as diligently as possible even without it.
As they faced down the descent of hatred, their focus combined together, their eyes shrinking in the greatest focus both could muster.
"Chi Xiao - Unsheathe!"
"Ying Xiao - Unsheathe!"
A cascading radiance of black and red of the two combined into one strike, clashing against the primordial flames of the Draco.
A flash of black and white occurred, echoing across the scenery as the two strained to push it back. The arts canceling capabilities of the dragon-slaying sword bore against the fire, dousing it in a power that fanned it out.
FrostNova spread her arms, the coldness that would put any tundra to shame traveled around the two, forming black hands that approached the staggered form of Kashchey.
It clapped together, a thunderous crack resonating as the force of Chi Xiao and Ying Xiao combined with FrostNova's arts to completely overwhelm their target.
BOOM!
A coalesced beam of might ravaged the Draco, blowing far past her as the ash drenched air had cleared from the blast.
Kashchey had to shield themselves, outputting their arts to a greater degree, fighting against the tidal force of nature that had bore its fang against them.
