Ears twitched at the sound, the saw discs striking the central pillar. Perhaps his opponent's vision was equally just as obscured? Even with his special eyes, Dias could only make out the congregation of alien matter creating a forty foot radius sphere around his opponent. At least they made no attempt to hide the strange individual's presence beyond that. His projected Aura was easily able to detect his foe standing over on the opposite side of the arena. Despite what the Narrian was building up to, the man continued to stay where he was. The force barrier served two purposes here, the first being to stave off the encroaching Dread Energy particles as a much more imminent threat. The second was to potentially blind his adversary with the radiant light being generated around the enclosed space.

Of course, Dias found himself in a similar situation the instant that those very same particles seemingly came together to form a sort of wall surrounding his field. At that point, it became impossible for his eyes to make out anything beyond the shield, leaving him to rely upon his other senses. He noticed the slight resistance against the barrier immediately, having only taken that one step to test the waters. It seemed as though his movement wasn't all that restricted with how easily it proved to push the Dread Energy aside, though that alone felt rather suspicious considering the circumstances.

When he was first dropped into the fight after being forcibly teleported from the battlefield, there had been plenty of time to get a good layout of the arena which he had committed to memory. The various obstacles between himself and Xavier left no real line of sight. Direct ranged attacks from their starting positions would end up like the man's first attempt. Before the second try was launched, Dias raised the SoulLink and inserted the sword into the open space presented by the spinning weapons. The five Greatswords acted as a host for the Prime Elements; [color=red]Fire[/color], [color=blue]Water[/color], [color=green]Earth[/color], [color=yellow]Air[/color] and [color=white]Light[/color]. Resonating in tandem with one another, the SoulLink drew upon each, creating cohesion as a mass of turbulent energy manifested within the chamber.

At the instant Xavier's second try with the saw blades made contact, they were promptly met with the same outcome had they managed to hit last time. But the strike itself created an opportunity as Dias immediately reacted by jumping up and further to the right just enough, setting himself up with a direct line of sight to where his opponent had continued standing wide open. Instead of moving with him, the field of Ether remained stationary along with his barrier, being tactfully used as cover to mask his intentions.

Taking aim with the sword as the five weapons were still circling around it, the charged mass of unrelenting energy was suddenly released. A literal beam of purely destructive power, five feet in diameter and moving at [s]the speed of light[/s] [color=blue]one third the speed of light[/color], punched clean through Dias' barrier like it was nothing. The blast capable of instantly disintegrating any physical matter caught in its path, it would hopefully decimate the Dread Energy along with Xavier in a single blow.  (ala Gohan vs. Cell, only not as drawn out or dramatic.)

It was the perfect way to test his previous hypothesis on whether or not these mysterious particles were actually indestructible. At the exact moment the beam would finish, the opening it created in his shield would instantly restore itself on the off chance the attack didn't somehow miraculously work... The five Greatswords that were used would also likewise shatter to pieces and dissolve into dust, only good for the one shot.
