Two heads slammed onto the cold, hard arena as Nolan made sure both he and the young man crashed headfirst into the ground.
He managed to mitigate the damage by placing his hand on the floor at the last second, while the young man, caught off guard, slammed his head first into the ground, becoming stuck with his head buried deep in the battlestage.
Nolan simply rolled on the ground a couple of times before rising back up to his feet.
He turned to look at the young man, who was upside down with his head buried deep in the ground, and he shrugged helplessly before deciding to get off the battle stage where they had crashed.
But he had not moved much when he felt a blast of air from behind.
He turned back to the figure, only to find that the young man was no longer in the pit. Instead, what stood ten meters away from Nolan was a strange purple demon.
