The very air within the coliseum shifted.
In the wake of Kent and Valir's sudden and gruesome demise, a pressure unlike any before surged outward—
A roaring explosion of mana erupted from Castaneda and Lockwood, shaking the very foundation of the arena beneath them.
The sheer fury in their auras sent violent ripples through the air—warping it, distorting the space around them with an overwhelming force.
"Everyone, stay close!!" Marel exclaimed in hurry as Lila and the others stayed together behind Marel and Castenada as they protected them from Lockwood's and Castenada's aura.
Lockwood's eyes burned with a chilling light, his magic manifesting in the form of ancient sigils that flickered ominously around his hands.
Castaneda, however—
His expression darkened.
His body trembled—not with fear—but with something far more dangerous.
His gaze locked onto King Alexandria, piercing straight through the eerie, unwavering smirk on the king's face.
