If Kayden had already had a number, he could have given up. But since he wasn't yet numbered, this battle had no retreat—it was a fight to the death, and Pedro was beginning to panic.
"Pathetic," Kayden muttered, watching as the mage prepared to flee. In a millisecond, Pedro covered an absurd distance, but... the universe responded to Kayden's will, bending space to place Pedro directly in front of him again.
**SWISH!**
The aura slash that the universe conjured split Pedro's head in two and continued down, dividing his entire body. It wasn't even a battle—Kayden suppressed him directly, down to his soul.
