—Whoa! Look how close they are!
—Who do you all think is going to win?
—Obviously Ariella. Have you seen what she did to that weird tattooed kid? This one looks way too scrawny!
Neraxis rolled his eyes at the crowd and glanced toward Ariella.
The moment he did, he noticed her blue eye turn white and clock-like, just as it had before.
But since he was able to see it, that meant he was able to react.
Therefore, he summoned his sword and slashed down, deflecting some kind of invisible projectile.
Ariella clicked her tongue again, and in the next moment, he saw the surroundings freeze again, with him being greatly slowed down.
She still moved at the same pace, and frankly, she seemed quite menacing.
However, by infusing himself with {Aura of the Abyss}, Neraxis was soon able to release the constraints.
"It won't work," he stated and swung the dull sword in her direction.
Since it was covered in {Aura}, it should have delivered quite the punch.
