383. A conclusion

Bang!

Both the reflection and Orion collided, sending a shockwave through the entire arena, causing winds to rage in all directions and dust to fly out.

Orion swung his sword again and again, relentlessly, without stopping.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

But the reflection matched him, swinging its sword just as relentlessly, blocking all of Orion's attacks without breaking a sweat.

Orion didn't give up and continued his barrage of attacks as they clashed across the arena. With their insane speed, they battled everywhere, causing chaos among the other participants.

It felt like the others hadn't come to fight but to watch, as everyone stopped fighting altogether, their focus entirely on the duel between Orion and Zeref—or rather, Orion and the reflection.

The more Orion fought, the more he realized he couldn't defeat it. It copied and reflected every attack he used, making it nearly impossible for him to damage it.

Bang!
