Duel
Julian took a few deliberate steps forward and the movement instantly drew the attention of Athena and Marius, both on edge, but Julian's sharp command rang out "No one is to interrupt this fight," he declared with finality, his eyes never leaving Emery's.
With a deliberate motion, Julian retrieved a thick, heavy-looking golden shield, its weight evident as it hit the floor with a resounding thud. He drew a gleaming sword from behind it, the two weapons forming a formidable pair—the [Heaven's Edge], a high-grade tier 7 weapon.
Julian then cast two spells; the first was [Immortal Gate] Stage 8, and the second was [Aegis Body], a tier 7 spell tailored for a dual fire and metal user like Julian, significantly boosting his defensive and offensive capabilities. His body glowed with a metallic sheen, and flames licking at his skin elevated his power to the peak of the full moon magus realm.
