Enaricus flinched, arms sweeping up in a desperate cross-guard.
Boom.
Impact thundered through the square, hurling him backward once more—armor denting, bones rattling—while dust spiraled skyward like applause for the young man who refused to stop advancing.
Enaricus skidded backward across the ravaged air, more than three hundred yards before frictionless void finally surrendered its grip and let him stop. He was uninjured, yet both arms throbbed. Tremors rippled down to his fingertips, protesting Jared's last strike.
"Those feeble tricks? You dare call yourself the Third Hall overlord?" Jared's voice rolled out, cold and certain, each syllable a verdict. "As of today, you are stripped of that title."
"You are nothing—nothing!" Enaricus roared, forcing power through shaking limbs. Aura ballooned around him in ragged, furious waves, too wild to disguise the panic beating behind his eyes.
Jared offered a thin, almost pitying smile. Then, he vanished. A heartbeat later, the sky screamed—swordsong chiming from nowhere—its invisible edge twisting space, carving silver fissures through the firmament.
Enaricus bit down on fear, vaulted upward, and met the emptiness with a hammering fist aimed at Jared's new location.
I cannot lose—Prince Percival and Grand Elder Esorin are watching. If I fall to an Earthly Immortal upstart, the Third Hall's alliances will unravel, and my own men will never heed me again.
Boom!
Sword intent collided with raw fist-wind. The heavens burst open, shockwaves rippling like tidal rings through shattered sky. Spectators fumbled for hastily raised shields of spiritual energy while, at the epicenter, Jared and Enaricus were already trading the next savage volley. Flames licked along the sundered void, turning air itself into burning canvas.
Disciples of the Third Hall blanched. If even their overlord could not restrain Jared, what hope did they hold? The young man was supposed to sit at a mere Earthly Immortal rank—nothing about that realm explained such cataclysmic force.
Boom!
