[quote=@Armed Forces] *Follows through with the motion as the flames travel up my arm, across my back, and up my other arm into my sword instead of igniting my own soul at all, and cleaves the sword straight through your abdomen just as the metal itself gleams and melds itself with the spiritual energy* [/quote] *Glances downward just as the fusion occurs, realizing in the only instant I have and leaping backwards, but still taking a massive gash across my torso as I fly backwards and land on my back*
