Dahlia didn't hesitate.
"[Dragon Rush]."
Storm energy exploded around her body as her wings snapped forward.
Her horns glowed faintly as her body shot forward like a living projectile.
She charged straight toward Sindral.
Below, Sindral lifted his sword.
The sunlight twisted violently.
"[Sunfall Verdict]."
A blazing judgment formed in the sky.
But instead of falling toward Dahlia, it dropped straight down onto Sindral himself.
The arena shook.
Dahlia's eyes widened mid-charge.
"…Are you crazy?" she shouted.
Sindral stood at the center of the falling light, his body wrapped in execution-grade solar mana.
The light didn't burn him. It fused around him, forming a blazing shell.
He smirked.
"Of course not," Sindral said. "[Sunfall Verdict] is meant to execute demons… or punish targets."
He tightened his grip on the sword.
"But for me?" he continued. "It's enhancement."
The solar light hardened, flowing across his body like armor.
"And a shield."
