The arena was filled with roaring energy as Sofia and Eldric stepped onto the platform. The tension was palpable, and the spectators leaned forward in anticipation. Sofia, known for her mastery of light and the ice magic she displayed just recently, tightened her grip on her scepter, while Eldric, with his lightning-fast movements and crackling magic, gave her a confident nod.
The bell rang, and the battle began.
Eldric wasted no time. He dashed forward, lightning magic crackling around him as he swinged his sword towards Sofia. His speed was astonishing, his movements like a blur, and his sword seemed to vibrate with lethal energy. Sofia barely had time to react; she quickly raised a barrier of shimmering light to block the strike, but the force of Eldric's sword shattered it instantly, sending her skidding back across the platform.
