With your body relying on your instincts, you charge at the Goddess, clashing with her blade as you do. You dismiss the Eye of Truth, no longer needing to rely on it, having already managed to use it to assess all that you currently can from her, and not wanting to waste any more magical energy keeping it active. You clash for a few seconds, her strength is overwhelming, but it's clear that she's not yet giving it her all. "Yes! Yes!" She grins down at you, being just slightly taller than you, and forces more power into the clash. The Sword of Truth and her own Sword of Holy Light clashing with one another rather than cleaving through one another. Hmm, you were half expecting the Sword of Truth to cleave through her own blade. Could it be a result of the conceptual similarities shared between the two manifested weapons?
