Raymond, backed by the Demon Race, and Mr. Thunder, supported by Andrey, started their standoff.
With Bigby's shout echoing throughout the arena, the duel began.
Even before Raymond made a move, a ferocious lightning serpent struck him, the aftermath of the explosion stirring up dust, obscuring the battlefield.
But that didn't affect Mr. Thunder's arrangements, as he floated up into the air, gripping the long needle that had been plunged into the ground in his hand.
It was his staff.
No one can easily defeat a well-prepared magician, and Thunder started casting his spell while keeping a close eye on the rising dust.
Before the dust could settle, his spell was complete.
A vast expanse of lightning-streaked clouds enveloped Mr. Thunder.
The audience could only hear his laughter, accompanied by the booming within the clouds, resembling the wrath of the heavens.
The dust settled, revealing an unscathed Raymond, gazing at the thunderclouds entirely engulfing him.
