mpbt15 michi clash

Michi then raised her naginata as quickly as she could. She caught the obsidian blade mid-flight but at a disadvantageous angle. Steel clashed against stone and Michi quickly felt the immense strength of Serafina's Witch. Even as she held onto her naginata with all her might, Michi was being pushed down by the Witch's sword-arm with such force that she felt her knees would buckle. The heat of the otherworldly flames that arose from the obsidian grew intense too, causing Michi to sweat profusely – it was almost as if she was being baked in the hellish heat.

The steel of Michi's naginata started to smoke and glow red then orange, melting and warping in the intense heat. Before long, the wood too caught flame and coursed down to burn Michi's bloodstained hands. Michi could hold on no longer and her naginata shattered before her very eyes. The fiery obsidian blade then fell down, swiping by Michi's side and grazing her shoulder. Her companions gasped in shock, horrified by how easily their strongest ally was defeated.
