     The blasts struggled for a moment. Alvios held both hands out towards Jenso, growling with the concentration it took. When he noticed Jenso's dragon overtaking the attack though, his eyes widened, and he flew up into the center of his created sphere itself, focusing the energy directly. It was enough...only to match Jenso's attack. The dragon and the empowered blast struggled for a moment before collapsing on each other, with the beam of light shattering and the dragon exploding, filling the room with light and smoke, the shock wave powerful enough to shatter a good portion of the crystal walls.

     It took a moment to see again before Jenso saw Alvios fall down on the ground beneath where his attack had been, small sparks of light still clinging to his body, but ultimately back in his normal body. He lay on his back, covered in his own blood while looking wistfully at the ceiling above. His normal sword lay in pieces on the ground next to him. He was beaten.
