The room was filled with an ice-cold tension. Both myself and my father stared at the other, waiting for our opponent to make the first move.
In a duel of magical abilities, one must strike fast and precisely if they wish to win. Mana is a limited resource, and even though I have an utterly absurd amount of it within me at the moment, that does not mean that I am capable of using all of it frivolously.
My father is incredibly experienced when it comes to magical duels as well. I have already faced him once before, but that was practice. This is a real battle with real stakes.
The first to move and land the first blow will be the victor, thus both of us cannot act without thought.
"Tael-san, you need to move quickly! Derimus Imun-san's Demon Style allows him to absorb all of the energy in the area! All of the mana within you will be drained away if you wait!"
THE BOY IS BACK!
Also a bit of a reference to Invincible.
Catch you on the flip side!
