Bang!
Loki exploded forward without warning, his body leaning into the attack as his spear shot toward Ka'z's chest with enough force to pierce straight through an ordinary warrior.
Ka'z reacted immediately, twisting his body while bringing Ashin Grim across his front. The axe blade slammed against the spearhead and easily knocked the weapon upward, forcing Loki's arm high above his head.
Ka'z did not waste the opening. He immediately rotated his wrists and skillfully spun the axe over his head, allowing the weapon to gather momentum before swinging it viciously toward Loki's face. Loki's eyes widened as the blue lightning covering Ashin Grim flashed across his vision, the blade passing only several inches from his face.
He leaned backward at the last possible moment, feeling the wind generated by the swing brush against his skin before the axe passed over him.
