The moon god's right hand flicked upward, the spear's shaft spinning to deflect the blow with a resonant clang, guiding it just past his ribs. His left foot slid back slightly, stabilizing his stance, and his right arm snapped the spear's tip toward Harrow's throat in a sudden, precise jab—faster than before, as if anticipating the mortal's rhythm.
『Noting evasion pattern—head tilt, lateral dodge. Adjusting thrust speed by 15%, targeting neck vulnerability.』
Harrow's head jerked aside, the spear grazing his cheek as his right hand twisted the shadow sword upward, slashing at Lunareio's extended arm. The god's left hand released the spear's base, fingers curling as a burst of silvery light flared from his palm, meeting the sword's edge with a humming barrier.
The force shoved Harrow's arm back, his elbow bending under the unexpected resistance.
『Detecting counterattack—arm-targeted slash. Deploying light pulse 0.2 seconds earlier to disrupt timing.』
