The arena seemed like a field of living energy, where lightning streaked across the sky and currents of electricity ran along the metal walls. Nilla took a stance, her figure emanating an intense blue glow, while sparks ran across her skin like untamed serpents. On the other side, Koeus remained motionless, his staff slowly rotating in his hands, as if controlling the very breath of the world around him.
Before any words could be exchanged, Nilla advanced. A deafening boom echoed through the arena as she transformed into a bolt of lightning, her speed doubling that of sound. The attack went straight for Koeus's heart.
But he was the master of time. With an almost imperceptible movement of his staff, the world around him slowed down. The lightning bolt that was Nilla seemed frozen in space, as Koeus stepped aside, calmly watching his opponent reappear, frustrated.
