Rhys's aura detonated outward like a shockwave.
BOOOOM!!
Dust blasted across the arena.
Balron stopped mid-step, eyes widening in PURE JOY.
"YES!! THAT'S IT!!!"
Rhys's entire body glowed with unstable, flickering mana—
fire crackling across his arms,
water swirling around his legs,
light and darkness fighting across his shoulders,
and raw wind slicing the air.
Even his sword trembled violently, humming with mixed elemental energy.
Puddle screamed,
"MASTER IS HAVING A MULTI-ELEMENT MELTDOWN!!"
Sophia cupped her mouth.
"That's— that's not a normal aura!!"
Lyra's expression tightened.
"…He's not in control. Not at all."
Caria's quill shook.
"I've never seen someone cast six elements at once—!!"
Rhys steadied his stance.
Barely.
His breath came out in shaky bursts, each exhale releasing sparks of mana.
Balron slammed his axe against his shoulder armor.
"COME THEN, BOY!! SHOW ME EVERYTHING!!"
Rhys moved.
FAST.
Faster than before.
Faster than he had EVER moved.
