Royce was partly amazed and partly scared out of his mind by the turn of events. He was sure he was going to die, but his body was fairing surprisingly well, blocking, evading, and dodging all of the Hollow's attacks. He was glad he at least had the advantage of having two swords. He heard the voice in his head again, like the knoll of some great bell that spurred his body into action.
His hand that had used the EBF again glowed orange, but this time the glow manifested itself in the form of a brilliant beam of pure, white-hot energy. Unimaginable heat radiated from the sword as he used the entrance of Chak to get the upper hand. Blocking a strike from the Hollow, he saw Chak grab the Hollow's sword arm. His body stabbed at the Hollow's abdomen, careful to avoid the hole, and screamed, "Now take this! SHINNING FINGER SWORD!"
