Back in the arena, as the battle's intensity continued to escalate, Art and Arale exchanged a meaningful glance, a silent understanding passing between them. They both nodded subtly, affirming their next move in unison before turning their focus back to Valerius. Their quick, silent exchange did not escape Valerius's notice, prompting him to address them with a confident, almost dismissive tone.
"What are you two planning? Actually, it's not like it matters. Whatever your plan, it will all come to be meaningless since you're up against me—a person you can never hope to defeat. I hope you recognize that soon and come under my wing," Valerius boasted, his voice filled with a mix of arrogance and challenge.
The twins merely rolled their eyes at Valerius's bravado, not taking his words seriously. "Let's bombard him, brother," Arale said with a determined look.
"After you, sister," Art replied, ready to follow her lead.
