Record of Ragnar?k Redirected

Prometheus flew towards Vlad's attack. The point of the blade aimed right at his left eye. Prometheus flung his right chain back. It found a target and wrapped around one of the columns behind him. He felt the chain go taut and pulled. His body stopped, suspended in mid-air between the wall and Vlad. He smiled, his gaze going wild. The chain links wrapped around his left arm began to glow, and steam began to rise from the burning metal. The glow travelled down the chain and flew from Prometheus towards Vlad. He could feel the heat well before it got near him and released the chain. The spot he just let go of ignited. Heat and concussive force expelled from the metal and slammed into Vlad. Prometheus pulled away just as the blast released and sailed back towards the column. Vlad skidded to a halt and threw the blade. Prometheus flicked his free chain and knocked it away. Vlad reached behind his back with both hands and pulled out several blades held between his fingers. He tossed them all. "Vlad's not letting up! Even after Prometheus broke away from his attack, he refuses to give him any space to breathe!" Heimdall shouted.

Prometheus' eyes dilated. He took his left chain in hand and twirled it. Faster, faster, faster... the chain spun until it turned bright orange. Each time it swung near the ground, it scraped out rock, and sparks flew. "Flegómeni Díni!" Flames burst from the chain. The swirling blaze intercepted each blade, knocking each one out of the air as they tried to fly by. Vlad continued to throw more at the vortex, but each one failed to pass through. "Want to see what else this trick can do, Human!?" Prometheus brought the chain to his side, continuing to spin it. "Enjoy it!" Prometheus threw the chain towards Vlad, the vortex flattening out into a single long white-hot stream of metal and heat. It whistled through the air as it soared. Vlad let his knees buckle and dropped. The chain flew overhead. The heat scorched the top and back of his head as he dropped into a crouch. He glared at the Titan and dashed. He pulled more blades out from behind his back and tossed them from under the chain. Prometheus leaned and lurched to avoid them; a few of them flew past him. Some found home. One stabbed into his left quadricep and another into his left side. He felt the pain erupt from his wounds. He quickly reached for them and pulled them out as Vlad rushed towards him. Prometheus pulled his left chain back, the metal having cooled. His right chain went slack around the column, and he pulled it back to him. Vlad reached behind his back and pulled out a straight-edged, silver, guardless sword as he closed in, the chain flying back overhead. He kept low to the ground; straightening back up would put him right in the path of the heavy chain and potentially take his head off. Prometheus wrapped the chains around his arms. Vlad swung the sword from the right. The blow collided with Prometheus' chain-covered arms. The force of the strike tilted him to the right. How is this human so damn strong!?

Vlad swiped back to the right. Prometheus ducked under the slash. Using that momentary blind spot, Vlad reached his left hand behind his back and pulled out another blade, and slashed. Prometheus rolled back, barely avoiding the second slash. He rolled onto his feet and lunged forward. Twisting his upper body right, he pulled his right arm back. His left foot slammed into the ground just in front of Vlad, and his body twisted back to the left. His right fist struck just under Vlad's left arm as he tried to swing his sword back. The slack chain wrapped around his arm slid forward, pushing his fist deeper into Vlad's chest. It began to glow. Vlad could only stare down at the blow as his chest began to burn. "Émvolo Pou Kaíei!" An explosion erupted from his chain-covered fist, and Vlad flew back. He landed with a hard, metallic thud. Prometheus fell to the ground.

"W-what happened!?" Heimdall shouted. "Prometheus smashed and blasted Vlad away, but both collapsed!?" He pulled out his tablet to go over the replay. The screen lit up and began the replay. Heimdall pinched it and expanded the screen. He then saw it. The moment that made what looked like a one-sided clash into a near-death trade-off. At the moment Prometheus' punch made contact with Vlad, several blades jutted out from the cloak straight towards Prometheus. They stabbed him as Vlad flew away from the blow. "It was a dual exchange!" Heimdall displayed his tablet's screen on the floating monitors outside the dome. "Vlad tried to skewer Prometheus as he took the hit! What a madman!"
