I abandoned the momentum of Tempest Dance Technique the moment I felt the shift in Lucifer's stance. If I pushed forward now, I'd be walking straight into his counter. The moment he executed a Grade 6 movement, all the energy I had built up would collapse like a house of cards.
So I switched to God Flash.
The world blurred. A sonic boom echoed behind me as I vanished, reappearing in front of Lucifer at hypersonic speed. The sheer force of my acceleration warped the air, the ground beneath me fracturing from the pressure.
Lucifer's response was instantaneous. He shifted into the second movement of Myth of the Northern Peak: Northern Gale.
A violent storm of ice and wind erupted around him, laced with raw destruction. A better choice than his first movement, but still not the right one.
