From behind, the two remaining Heirs attacked Caine with everything they had left.
Dorothy Celestis, Heiress of the Celestis Clan, with her long golden hair and pulsating blue eyes, and Elijah Stormborne, Heir of the Stormborne Clan, with his slicked-back white hair and radiant emerald pupils, burst forward, their blades gleaming with fiendish momentum as they tore through the air toward Caine, their restraint abandoned.
Suddenly, time itself slowed—not metaphorically, but literally. Caine's time affinity roared to life, and a shimmering domain of time spread around him. Within this domain, the world froze, each moment stretched like a single frame in a painting.
'What a terrifying affinity,' Caine thought idly, his eyes reflecting the crystalline stillness.
He lifted his hand and tapped the air in front of him. Though his fingers barely brushed empty space, a ripple of Qi surged behind him toward the two Heirs.
The time domain dissolved.
