For a few moments, there was silence, then a disturbance in the shadows. Zaya's eyes snapped to the movement, and she lashed out with a tendril of darkness. The shadow connected, revealing Thuram for a brief moment before he vanished again.
The crowd gasped, watching the intense battle unfold. Zaya's precision and control over her shadows were impressive, but Thuram's ability to remain unseen made him a challenging adversary.
As the fight continued, Thuram began using his invisibility to his advantage, setting traps and launching surprise attacks. Zaya managed to evade most of them, her shadows providing a shield. But Thuram was relentless, and it was clear he was biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Then, in a brilliant maneuver, Thuram manipulated the air around Zaya, creating a vacuum that pulled her off balance.
