The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

• The Hard Lesson

Blows rained down upon Spheris like a deluge, unrelenting, each one sapping his strength and resolve. After every strike, Pa Tsuna's muscles would pulse with a magical energy, a reddish incandescence would pump through his veins as though they were the fuel to his raw intense power.

Despite Spheris's best efforts, he found himself unable to gain any kind of ground against the Attuned Bearer. Whenever he managed to dodge one of Pa Tsuna's heavy strike, he would immediately be struck by another.

Every single move he made, every single strike he attempted was countered by a ruthless neutralizer from the Gallied Mogul.

It was just like Spheris however, to never give up. Rather than [Whispering], he opted to use [Leaping Shadow], as the numerous silhouettes casted down by the onlookers above aided him to teleport to any part of the battle square he wished.
