As Michael and Alex stood at the edges of the battle stage, the cheers dulled down. The crowd was too excited to cheer. Michael calmly remained with his hands folded.
He didn't unsheath his dual swords. On the other side, Alex stood with his long golden spear in his hand. The spear was nothing that would scream craftsmanship, rather it was plain-looking. The entire spear looked like it was made of gold, the long point looked extremely sharp and pointy.
Despite its normal-looking, Michael could sense the overwhelming power the spear was radiating. Since the participants were not allowed to use Arch energy Michael wouldn't be able to use Responsive shield to protect himself from the spear. Luckily, Michael trained his sword mastery to 96% and Serpent maga to 93%. Both these skills enabled him to move nimbly and at an extreme speed even without using Arch energy.
"Can we get this over with? I have a championship to win" Michael sounded bored to everyone.
