Moments before...
Inside the Holy Hall of the Three Heroes, two lights moved at extraordinary speeds, chasing each other in a blur.
Their velocity was so great that the naked eye could barely detect them.
However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that the light being chased was significantly faster, gradually leaving the pursuing light behind.
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, the leading light emitted an intense flash, then swiftly turned and attacked the light trailing it.
Caught off guard by the sudden maneuver, the pursuing light was thrown 200 meters away, crashing into two sturdy golden pillars with a resounding 'Boom!' that echoed throughout the hall.
"Cough! Cough!" The sound of coughing emerged from the direction of the two shattered pillars, revealing a man with an extremely handsome yet pale and bloodied face.
