Intermission: The Leviathan City (1)

The cavern walls, adorned with the traces of their struggle, bore witness to the evolving choreography. Cyrus, determined to reclaim his dominion over the fight, unleashed a series of calculated strikes. The merman, undeterred, countered with acrobatic spins and thrusts that defied the constraints of the aquatic battleground.

The underwater dance intensified, the clash of sword and spear echoing through the stone cavern. The merman, leveraging the water's buoyancy, executed unpredictable maneuvers. Cyrus, rooted in his terrestrial training, adapted with a versatility that bridged the gap between the realms.

As the battle reached its zenith, Cyrus, fueled by a surge of determination, unleashed a final, devastating strike. The sword cleaved through the water with a resounding force, intercepting the merman's spear in a clash that reverberated through the cavern. The merman, momentarily incapacitated, drifted backward in the aquatic currents.
