Roy and Clair clashed swords fiercely, showing no signs of holding back. Their movements were fluid and precise, making them seem like perfectly matched opponents.
Watching the intense exchange between the black and white angthens, Ark felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him.
Amidst the noise of clanging metal, Clair suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Zach panicked, making a move to jump off the handrail and rush towards her, but before he could, Ark swiftly pulled him back. "You'd better stay put, or you'll end up flying right back here," Ark cautioned him.
Concern etched on Zach's face as he met Ark's gaze. "She needs help."
"No, she doesn't," Ark replied calmly, urging Zach to look back at the ongoing battle.
Meanwhile, Clair rose from the ground and soared back into the air, launching a relentless assault on Roy, who braced himself for her attack. Her strikes grew fiercer, gradually pushing him backwards.
Spotting an opening, Clair pivoted to generate more force, wielding her sword like a scythe. With a powerful strike, she managed to catch Roy off guard, causing him to lose his balance momentarily. She seized the opportunity, spinning in the air and delivering a hard kick to his side, sending him hurtling towards the ground. With him incapacitated, she descended rapidly, her movements resembling a raging tornado.
Zach remained frozen, his eyes fixed on the chaos unfolding before him.
A deafening crash reverberated through the air as the two combatants clashed, causing the ground to tremble and clouds of thick dust to engulf the area. The swirling debris obscured their vision, making it difficult to discern what was happening amidst the chaos.
As the dust settled, Roy emerged from the haze, but there was no sign of Clair.
A powerful gust of wind swept through, dispersing the remaining dust and revealing a gaping crater in the ground, leaving them all stunned by the sight.
Clair stood amidst the wreckage, her eyes fixed on Roy above.
Ark concluded that Roy had managed to evade Clair's attack; otherwise, it would have inflicted severe damage on him. He realized then that what he had initially encouraged them to do had spiraled beyond his expectations. What had started as a playful competition had escalated into a potentially life-threatening showdown.
"Ark, please tell me they're not actually trying to kill each other," Per pleaded for reassurance, but Ark remained silent.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, the battle raged on. Clair took to the air once more, while Roy awaited her with his sword at the ready. The clash of their weapons sent sparks flying as they collided once again.
Surprisingly, it was Clair's sword that broke first in the midst of their exchange. Seizing the opportunity, Roy wrapped his arm around her neck and positioned the blade of his sword near her face. "We're finished here. Now, do as I instructed," he commanded, taking a moment to catch his breath.
Despite the situation, there was no hint of surrender in Clair's expression. "Don't celebrate just yet." With the handle of her remaining sword, she blocked his blade, then rapidly folded her knees and used his legs as leverage to propel herself upwards, simultaneously pushing his sword away and loosening his grip around her neck. With a swift spin over his head, she delivered a powerful kick to his back.
