"Black... Ice...?" Jean's voice reverberated through the air, a mixture of astonishment and resolve as he beheld his magic saber ensnared within a sheath of sinister darkness. Yet, his expertise, honed to Mythril-ranked precision, refused to succumb to the obstacle before him.
"As if... This will stop me!!!!" With unyielding determination, Jean channeled his mana into the saber, coaxing forth its latent fiery essence until the black ice relented, shattered by the sheer force of his flames.
Crack!
Whoosh!!
As the icy shackles splintered and dissipated, flames erupted from Jean's saber with renewed fervor, casting an eerie glow upon the surroundings. His defiance echoed through the chamber as he confronted the shadowy figure lurking amidst the flickering flames.
