As Klaus executed the devastating downward slash, the air seemed to yield under the imagined weight of a falling mountain. The ground fractured beneath the force, mirroring the impact of a celestial mass. In the suspended moment before their swords were destined to converge, time itself froze, leaving the Lion Arena in eerie silence.
In the surreal stillness, Klaus found himself immobilized, unable to move a muscle. The frozen moment, like a captured heartbeat, unveiled an extraordinary scene where time itself bowed to the clash of arcane energies.
Amidst this temporal standstill, Alex emerged as an anomaly, untouched by the suspended reality. With unsettling grace, he released his grip on his sword, allowing it to stand in the air in silence. His steps, spectral and haunting, painted afterimages in the air as he approached Klaus with an otherworldly smile.
The arena, now a canvas of suspended existence, bore witness to the paradoxical spectacle of a moving figure in a world paralyzed by arcane forces. As Alex drew close, he leaned in with an air of mystery, whispering words into Klaus’s ear.
Within the timeless embrace of the Lion Arena, Alex’s whispered enigma cut through the silence.
"It’s not because we are both Apostles that we are equal, the Arkdieu that I represent in our realm is very understanding, unlike yours, I suppose," Alex uttered with a dark smile that danced with shadows.
As the cryptic revelation lingered, Alex defied reality. With the almost supernatural distortion of space, he conjured a translucent box seemingly from the void. Materializing as if his hand reached into the very essence of existence, the ethereal container held untold secrets within its confines.
In the ethereal tableau of the Lion Arena, the boundaries between the arcane and the tangible blurred as Alex inserted the translucent box into Klaus’s stomach, defying the nature of solid form. The ethereal container cascaded seamlessly into Klaus’s being, a convergence of energies transcending the limits of the physical realm.
"Now we will see how you will keep acting high and mighty," Alex’s murmured words, delivered with cryptic certainty, lingered in Klaus’s ear like an arcane incantation. With otherworldly grace, Alex backtracked his steps to his initial position, holding his sword that was fixed in the air in the same identical stance he had before the time froze.
And then suddenly, time started to flow normally, and their two swords clashed.
BOOM!
The shockwave echoed through the Lion Arena, a seismic expression of the unleashed power between the two Apostles. The clash sent ripples of energy through the air, resonating with the collective gasp of the audience.
The impact was tremendous, causing a burst of radiant light that temporarily blinded the spectators. As the light subsided, the arena revealed the aftermath of their collision. Klaus and Alex stood locked in a struggle, their swords pressed against each other with unyielding force.
The sheer energy radiating from their clash created an aura that pulsed through the arena, leaving an electrifying tension in the air. The audience, captivated by the spectacle, held their breaths as they awaited the next unfolding chapter of this extraordinary duel.
In the midst of their deadlock, Klaus’s once-blue eyes now glowed with a renewed intensity, fueled by the convergence of energies. The ethereal darkness seemed to merge with the fiery brilliance of Alex’s arcane energy, creating a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors.
’What is happening?’ Klaus asked himself, his body was moving by itself.
The Lion Arena, once a silent witness to the clash of these prodigies, now resonated with the harmonious hum of intertwined energies. It was a symphony of power, a dance of elements that defied the conventional understanding of the martial arts displayed in this sacred space.
’what did he do to me? Why can I control my body’ Klaus asked himself struggling to regain control of his body.
’F*ck’ Klaus murmured to himself.
