Chapter 261: Arc 4, Act II, - 106: Distraction and Attrition
"Kickbolt!" Jotou got low and swept the floor, lightning formed around her left leg, spinning her like a top across the dirt as Rain leapt over the blonde and landed on the other side.
In the same sweep, Jotou spun back up. Rain lunged. "SWIsh-SPArK!" Lightning jumped and arced across the steel onto the water-based blade.
"CHFF!" His fingers however were too quick, dissipating the blade in an instant before it evaporated only for another to form in its place within his grasp. "SWISH!"
Jotou dodged back- "FWOOSH!" But instead she was pushed forward by a jet of water that emerged from behind her, pushing her into his strike.
