A sharp sword light, twinkling with an incomparably dazzling brilliance, traced a perfect arc in mid-air, splitting the gigantic hammer that came head-on into two halves.
"Chirp."
The giant eagle agilely flew sideways in the air, successfully avoiding the broken half of the hammer before proudly letting out a long cry.
"That was close!"
The astonished gasps from the audience in front of the martial arts arena, all of them looked up at the sky, exhaling a turbid breath, and patted their chests to calm their startled hearts.
The five young men riding their horses also wore elated expressions.
"Hmph! If you're so capable, try taking another hammer."
Alta's first attack had failed, and his anger surged. He gripped the remaining gigantic hammer with both hands and spun twice on the arena stage before furiously throwing it once more at the giant eagle.
The gigantic hammer whistled as it flew, even faster and stronger than before.
"Be careful!"
