The one who went against the second wolf brother on the 5th battleground was Maya.
"Wife, don't lose," Marcus shouted as Maya arrived on the battleground.
Maya didn't look back, only tightened her grip on her Grim Weapon: Nebulice Daggers, as the ground beneath her crystallized in a spreading bloom of amethyst frost.
The signal dropped.
Fuaro launched first — a blur of dark fur and claws.
Maya reacted instantly. She inhaled, and the temperature plunged.
Her daggers cut arcs through the air, releasing streams of Ice that didn't behave like normal frost at all. The slashes became ribbons of liquid crystal, twisting mid-flight, changing direction as if alive.
They struck Fuaro dead-on.
The impact froze the ground under him, coating the arena in a jagged explosion of violet-blue shards. For a moment, Fuaro's movement slowed, frost clinging to his limbs in branching crystal veins.
But then—
Crack.
