Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A deafening series of explosions echoed through the battlefield as blinding lights illuminated the shattered ground.
Swords infused with spiritual power streaked across the air like falling stars, each one carrying enough force to rip mountains apart.
Yet Riley stood firm in the middle of that storm, his body trembling but his eyes unwavering.
He caught a glowing blade with his bare hand, his skin splitting open as blood sprayed out in a crimson arc.
But before the weapon could pierce deeper, he twisted his wrist and hurled it aside, the sound of steel clashing echoing like thunder.
Another strike came from behind, and he spun, his palm striking the attack in midair.
The explosion that followed nearly threw him off balance, but he gritted his teeth and stood tall once again.
Selena's voice cracked through the chaos.
"You stupid fool! Why don't you just run away and leave me here?!" she cried, her voice trembling between rage and despair.
