The Extinction Slashes cut through the projection of the past, and immediately, the damage was mirrored on the dragon's present, several cuts tearing through his skin and spilling blood.
The dragon, however, simply raised his upper body, the glow of light enveloping him healing the wounds in an instant as he stepped forward with a frown.
"I said, use your power of destruction!" the dragon demanded as he closed the distance to Arthur in an instant.
He tilted his upper body to avoid the upward arcing slash from Celestia, then used his left hand to strike the inner part of Arthur's wrist, cracking it and loosening his grip on the sword.
The dragon then grabbed Arthur's wrist and pulled him closer, delivering a straight punch with his right fist toward Arthur's head, and though Arthur raised Lostvayne's blade to block, the impact forced the blade into his face and cracked his nose.
