Chronos paused momentarily, surprised by the swift disappearance of his smoke. However, a smirk quickly formed on his lips. He glanced at Chastine, who was already preparing for her attack.
In a flash, Chastine disappeared from her position, reappearing behind their two opponents.
Without giving them time to react, she unleashed a series of vines that sprouted from the ground and rapidly coiled around them, catching both by surprise.
With a quick glance at Chronos, she called out. "Chronos, now!"
Understanding her signal immediately, Chronos grinned and conjured another thick cloud of smoke. This time, it wasn't ordinary; emerging from the smoke were numerous swords that materialized and shot toward their entangled opponents with incredible speed.
The audience could only gasp in anticipation as they awaited the outcome of Chronos and Chastine's combined attack.
