Adela PoV
I gulped as a wave of energy struck the barrier around the ring.
Koukyuu quickly reinforced the barrier while also allowing some energy to escape to avoid hurting the boys inside.
"Lei!" Yen said, standing up. She winced and quickly sat back down.
Lei must've been in a lot of pain...
Kun gulped as smoke encircled the battlefield. He was panting like Yen. "Lei..."
The smoke was dense and choking, blurring the vision of everyone present. The battlefield looked like an ancient ruin, scarred by the ferocity of Lei's wind and lightning magic clashing with Burai's flames. Every nerve in my body was on edge, anxiety gnawing at my insides.
"Lei," I murmured, my hands clasped tightly together in prayer. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, the rhythm irregular and heavy.
The smoke began to clear, revealing Lei on one knee. Apart from his tattered clothes, Burai was injured.
"No," I whispered, shaking my head.
Burai smirked and put his hands into the pockets of his shorts. "Looks like I win."
Lei smiled and looked up at his, his gaze still defiant.
Burai laughed and kicked him, but Lei sidestepped it. The two became a blur as they zipped throughout the battered ring.
Hal gasped. "His movements are similar to mine and Xue's there."
Xue nodded.
"And mine," Yen muttered. "I wonder if It's his knives' new ability or if it's his battle genius at work."
Kun chuckled. "Could be both."
