A second of silence passed between the roar of the bolt that spread at lightning speed through the arena and a loud bang that followed.
Unexpectedly, under the astonished gaze of Supreme Therion, who was perhaps used to witnessing exceptional events, the impossible had happened in the Sanctum of Infinity.
Urgerross' attack struck Yoichi full force, devouring every part of his body. Any living being without magical powers would have been pulverized by the energy emanating from the lightning, but that was not the case.
Just as the light beam dissolved, a dazzling red aura took its place at the center of attention. It came from the exact spot where Yoichi's helpless body had last been seen before being struck.
Taking a leap and leaving behind a flashing trail of flame from his arms, Yoichi emerged unscathed from his enemy's attack, flying in mid-air above its horned head.
