The moment the announcer declared the start of the battle, Sia acted immediately. With a graceful sweep of her arm, she summoned two ice beasts,
The first was a hulking, four-legged beast, its icy armor covered in jagged spikes, the second was more ethereal an ice bird that slithered through the air, its transparent body shimmering like glass.
The crowd watched in awe as the beasts roared to life, a mist of frost following every breath they took. Sia stood in the center, calm and composed, her icy blue eyes fixed on Nyx.
Nyx, however, remained still, her crimson eyes locked on Sia with an unsettling calm. She didn't summon any beasts, her crimson eyes watching Sia's monsters with an amused smirk. The crowd began to murmur in confusion.
"Is she not using any monsters?"
Sia remained unbothered, raising her hand and commanding the ice beasts forward. The massive, armored creature lunged first, each step spreading ice on the grass.
