Crack!
The room started shaking as more of the ground started vanishing.
It was already clear that there were more lava pits on the ground than solid footing!
Clang, clang, clang!
Sounds of weapons clashing reverberated throughout the room as Julian and Ambrose fought fiercely near one of the lava pits.
There wasn't a lot of room left for them, as the lava was surrounding them on all sides.
Ambrose breathed heavily as he smashed his shortsword at Julian's block, trying to break through his defense and gain the upper hand. It was unsuccessful.
The sweat continued rolling down his face as his exhaustion was getting near.
He also couldn't use Muscle Defense as when he did, Julian would instantly attack him and try to push him to one of the lava pits.
Julian had realized his greatest weakness with Muscle Defense—the inability to move!
