A Dance of Blades

This dance of death, the duel between Razorstella and Rondo, had reached speeds and finesse that could only be described with the term "superhuman."
At this level, high-speed battles between high-tiered aether warriors were not uncommon, but the speed at which they were moving was unprecedented.
Sparks of flame and starlight spontaneously formed and broke as Razorstella and Rondo exchanged sword blows with one another, with Rondo's [Astra] bouncing off of Razorstella's hands and legs multiple times.
Every time Rondo attempted to strike at Razorstella's torso or head, the only parts of her body that weren't razor sharp and radiated an aura of pure deadliness, the sword-limbed dancer would perform an unexpected move that would redirect the blow to one of her sharp limbs.
