He ran forward at full speed, weaving between the wind blades with minimal wasted movement.
One came too close to dodge, so he slashed his sword through it with perfect timing, disrupting the mana construct and causing it to dissipate harmlessly.
His boots pounded against the rocky ground as he closed the distance between them.
Just before Klaus reached him, Neo attempted one more desperate attack. He channeled mana through his entire body and performed a rising slash enhanced with both wind and fire elements with the blade trailing flames and cutting wind but Klaus saw it coming.
He twisted his body at the last second, letting the flaming sword pass harmlessly by his side close enough to singe his clothes then he reversed his grip on his own weapon and drove the hilt… the solid metal pommel directly into Neo's chest with tremendous force.
CRACK!
