Ren's eyes widened as there was a rush of wind around them. Their cloaks flapped beside them as Lilith blurred in front of Valen and sparks flew, Lilith's energy coated hand impacting Valen's crossed swords.
The man had moved faster than Ren, but not fast enough to escape Ren's eyes. However, that only meant he was just slow enough for Lilith to land a hit.
Lilith's energy claws sheared through Valen's shoulder, his arm, still holding his sword falling to the floor, and the man ducked under Lilith's second and equally fast swing.
Valen's sword snapped forward, screeching against the breastplate of energy that had appeared over Lilith's torso and by the time he recovered, Lilith's hands were reaching for his face.
Snap!
Ren's hand closed around Lilith's wrist, diverting her arm upward, his foot sinking into Valen's stomach, sending the man flying.
"Lilith!" He yelled, seizing her around the waist, and lifting her, her feet dangling off the ground.
