"Hahaha! What's the matter, Alexander the Great? While I've spent years pushing myself to the limit, you've probably been taking it easy, coasting on your talent! Now, I'll show you the power of hard work by handing you your first defeat!"
Axelle Vespertine's triumphant voice rang through the grand halls of Chateau Manor as she leveled her elemental staff at her immobilized opponent.
She began chanting, preparing to unleash one of her signature moves—a spell Shye knew all too well—aiming to finish the battle in under a minute.
If Axelle succeeded, her reputation would soar to new heights.
After chanting for about eight seconds, a terrifying tri-colored beam of concentrated light, no thicker than a pole, shot from the young heroine's staff, streaking straight toward Alexander.
"Ninth Devastation Ray!"
Strangely, none of the Yon Augennians showed any signs of panic.
