A woman was formed of interwoven characters, head bowed, arms wrapped around herself, exuding an ancient and holy aura. She acted as a barrier, protecting Semar.
A cool breath spread through the Arena. A melodious chant filled the ears of all present, unconsciously dispelling the murderous intent brought by the appearance of the Shadowbringer.
Eyla and the others were shocked, surprised by the mysterious woman's apparition. They felt a sense of holiness and sanctity emanating from it, along with the vast, tranquil expanse of a silent ocean.
Was this the spell extracted from those ancient, broken magical treasures? Truly, a magical treasure that had survived millennia could unleash such power!
Alavin watched the holy figure as if seeing a white mist, pure and soul-cleansing, like glimpsing a divine garden untouched by the world's filth, quieting minds and spirits. But in his palm, the dark mist spun faster, and the Shadowbringer took shape in the depths of the vortex, its killing intent surging in an instant.
Semar, immersed in her spell, looked up the moment the complete figure of the woman formed. Her eyes blazed, blood spurted from her mouth, which she directed to the brow of the woman's image. The figure expanded rapidly, towering five meters high, enveloping Semar in the aura of a holy spirit.
"Shadowbringer, to battle!"
No more words were needed. The Shadowlord struck!
Clang! The pitch-black Shadowbringer burst forth, leaving his palm to strike through the air.
A wailing filled the world, ancient and distant, like an illusion, yet echoing like reality. Many Protégés instinctively looked up, searching for the source of the sudden sound.
"Icebound, barrier against all illusions. Alavin, your lethal move shall..." Semar bellowed, charging head-on toward Alavin. The holy effigy stood firm around her, like a mystical armor protecting her soul. She brandished her sword, its energy soaring to the heavens, stirring the entire arena, showcasing the full might of an Advanced Mage. With the absolute protection of Icebound, she could focus solely on the battle with Alavin.
But then...
Thwack!!
