"Of course. What I'm going to do is just start firing off magical attacks at you." he tells you, your eyes widening in surprise. "But when I do, all you have to do is channel your ki into the blade, yes just like that."
As he was talking, you'd focused your ki into the blade almost subconsciously.
"Do it and swing that dagger directly into each magical attack I fire." he continues. "And watch what happens."
"Alright. Let's do this." you say, crouching slightly and bracing yourself in a variation of your usual fighting stance with the dagger held out before you. “Whenever you're ready kiddo. Hit me with your best shot.”
“We'll start out a bit slow, not going for anything crazy first.” he says, holding his staff overhead. “Dark Magic: Darkness Slash!”
He swings the staff directly down, firing a vertical slashing blade of absolute darkness directly at you. So you focus your ki, channeling it into the blade like you do with the Wolf Knight sword, and it begins to glow in a similar manner.
“HAA!” you shout, swinging the short dagger horizontally into the Abyssal blade. Your dragon bone knife strikes the spell, the dagger flashing even brighter. As it does, the shadowy blade seemingly dissolves into thin air! You feel your eyes widen in surprise, Chilli's attack just disappearing. “Woah!”
“Yes, just like that!” he shouts, raising the staff overhead again. You return to your ready stance as well, feeling ready for the next one. “Light Magic: Lightwave Slash!”
Again he fires a cutting wave of magic, and again the dragon bone's inherent magic erases the much faster wave of magical mayhem. He then gets a bit more creative, tossing his staff aside as he crosses his arms you sensing that this will be something you haven't seen before.
“Chaos Magic: Dueling Blades!” he shouts, twinned swords of magical energy growing out of both hands. In his right he clutches a blade of Abyssal darkness, while in his left is a blade of radiant light. Each radiates their element, casting his face in both light and shadow. Then with a flourish he takes an unusual stance, you brace yourself once more. “Now time to REALLY put this to the test!”
