Xeranthemum- Deleting Strand Avatar

The strand delivered a mighty slash, cutting through Lamont, only to cut through an
afterimage.
The slash however cut through the entirety of the Heir to the Stars cosmic hierarchy, and
everything within its contents and the paratext that followed.
Before the moment could happen, Lamont flung out his arm, completely negating the event
that had just happened.
Just as he countered the Strand, she was able to finally hit him with a vicious downward
slash from above.
In that unchanging moment, Lamont caught the blade, enduring the attack.
Xeranthemum appeared, erasing the Strand with no effort, beyond the necessity of her will.
“Hello Lamont. We need to talk about your brother.” Xeranthemum said.
