Jax and Drevin moved like two storms colliding—shadow-arrows bursting in volleys, ricocheting bullets rebounding off shattered stone, the air flashing with blue, purple, and white streaks of mana. Every second, Drevin's bowstring snapped back, releasing another wave of splitting shadow arrows, each one chasing Jax like predator teeth. Jax ducked, rolled, fired back with ricocheting blasts that split against the collapsing pillars around them.
"Selene!!" Jax shouted, sliding across the ground to avoid a shadow arrow that drilled into the arena floor.
"On it…!!!"
Selene broke from her clash with Iselde just long enough to whip her wand in Jax's direction. Orange runes spun into existence—fast, clean strokes of magic flowing from her hands like ink across invisible parchment.

A small burst of orange light flew into Jax's back, sinking into his aura like a warm pulse.
Rune Magic – 2nd Circle: Fleet Rune.
