Turning his attention to Blata, he spread his hands open, signaling his for to throw the first blow.
"It won't be fun if it ends before you get the chance to showcase your strength..." Derik whispered but the words echoed repeatedly in Blata's ears!
BLASPHEMY!
"You dare look down on the strength of the beyond? You are courting death!" Blata roared as his body let out a bright glow and countless golden chains shot out from multiple magic arrays set up around Derik, binding him even before he could raise a finger.
