Aric's lips curled into a confident smirk as he replied to Kaelen's taunt, "We'll see who truly dominates, Dragonyx." Without unsheathing his sword, he manipulated the light around him with precision, bombarding Kaelen with rapid flashes, beams, and concentrated bursts. Each attack carried immense force, but Kaelen, with his keen instincts and battle-hardened experience, held his ground effortlessly, countering each strike with calculated moves of his disguised Blade of Eternity.
Despite the intensity of the battle, Kaelen's patience began to wane. His emerald eyes narrowed as he muttered under his breath, "Enough playing around." A golden glow radiated from his body as the Armor of the Eternal Guardian manifested on him. The ancient, ornate armor seemed to hum with power, its intricate designs pulsing faintly with celestial energy. The crowd erupted in awe as Kaelen's strength, speed, and reflexes surged dramatically.
