The battle had already escalated beyond an ordinary first-year match, with Serena's contracts and Tobias' infernal creatures clashing in an overwhelming display of power for their age.

Every shadow in the arena seemed to bend toward the creature, drawn to it as if it were a gravitational force as it moved its hands forward towards Serena's Starweaver.
