Bab 214: One Move, 2000 Words

The battle started as Julian, desperate to cling to any hope, summoned his fire lizard.

The beast materialized, embers sparking from its scales.

"Go! Now!" Julian screamed, his voice breaking with panic.

The creature obeyed, lunging toward Kenny with flames bursting from its jaws.

Kenny didn't move. He didn't flinch. His grotesque smile only grew as he raised a single hand.

A sudden gust of wind formed, extinguishing the flames with chilling ease.

The fire lizard yelped as the wind hurled it across the arena, crashing into the ground before vanishing in the shadow.

Julian's heart sank. His trump card was gone, and Kenny hadn't even broken a sweat.

"That's it?" Kenny sneered, his tone dripping with mockery. "That's all you've got? Pathetic."

Kenny took a step forward, his eyes glinting with malice. Julian stumbled back, his legs trembling.
