A wind slowly blew across the forest, rustling the leaves and branches of the enormous trees.
All was quiet, with only the chirping of birds breaking the silence.
Even the duo, locked in each other's gaze, remained silent.
A single yellow leaf tumbled and danced toward the ground, landing exactly in the middle between the two.
The moment the leaf touched the ground, both exploded into action.
"Die!"
Alwyn roared as he lunged at Kaisen.
"Gonna make you suffer."
Kaisen muttered, cracking his knuckles and jumping forward, meeting Alwyn halfway.
Time seemed to slow down as Alwyn extended his hand, wind swirling around it.
"Die, Kaisen! Die!"
He shouted, the wind swirling faster and faster, forming a razor-sharp arc.
Kaisen was unfazed, staring at Alwyn's hand with narrowed eyes.
He ducked under the arc, which flew harmlessly overhead, and grabbed Alwyn's arm.
