As the first stike fell Merel saw the impact more than she felt it. The sparks flew of their weapons but due to the non conductive grip of her sword the charge didn't reach her own hands, the first strike Angela gave could barely be called such, just a probing contact letting the dust do the work. that combined with her own semblance absorbing some of that blow it barely moved Merel's sword Precipice.

While Angela jumped back with her somersault and readied her bow Merel matched her and with three quick steps she covered the same distance, wanting to stay close enough to threaten her with her sword and made first a diagonal one-handed slash from left to right for Angela's bow hand. Intending to either catch Angela's fingers or forcing her to move the weapon and messing up her aim on Merel. The second swing would come just as quick as Merel sent the tip of her long blade forward to stab Angela in her exposed left side mere moments after concluding the initial slash.

Meanwhile with her offhand held protectively before her chest Merel already prepared for Angela's retaliation by forming a construct from her Ice Dust, neatly shaping itself into a thick offhand gauntlet with three thick blades each three inches long jutting out from the gauntlet's side like a mantis' serated forearms, ready to lash out at Angela's face or to catch her blade.
