With the backdrop of pouring rain, the two combatants shifted into combat mode, their eyes fixed on each other.
"Boom!"
Out of nowhere, a deafening thunderclap echoed through the sky, prompting Arthur to raise his voice.
"Begin!" he shouted, his voice resonating with determination.
The mana rapidly coalesced, flowing through Arthur's hands, feet, and entire body.
"Boom!"
The fractured ground propelled Arthur forward with exceptional speed, closing the distance between him and Rian in an instant.
With a swift motion, Arthur swung his sword towards Rian, aiming to strike his opponent with precision and force.
Reacting swiftly to Arthur's sword swing, Rian refused to remain idle.
In a split second, he unleashed his mana, allowing it to surge through his entire being at an astonishing speed.
