Both in this together

Enduring the flames that still surrounded him, the angel moved forward and struck toward Hyra.

Bam!

With his strike landing squarely on Hyra's face, Hyra was pushed back and fell to the ground.

Whoooo!

A wave of sound rang through the crowd as they witnessed Hyra fall to the ground for the first time.

"You're actually putting up a good battle against me," Hyra praised his opponent as he got up, acknowledging his skill. But in the next moment, he extended his hand forward, and a huge amount of fiery energy swirled around it and gathered, forming a giant fireball floating above his hand.

"This will be over now," Hyra said confidently.

"Huh! We'll see about that," the opponent answered, moving past Hyra's proud declaration.

The mana circling around his hand glowed again as he prepared himself to dash toward Hyra once more.
