Sirius's claw strike connected with a thunderous impact, shattering the ice before him into a million pieces. The cracks didn't just stop there—they spread across the entire frozen trail, extending all the way to Nathan's feet. In a moment, the ice crumbled to the ground.
Nathan's eyes widened in shock as he took in the shards scattered across the floor. He had never seen his ice shattered so easily, not unless he was fighting someone far above his rank. Not even Soul Elite could do so that easily. Before he could recover, he noticed Sirius already charging toward him.
Scowling, Nathan ground his teeth. 'I refuse to be outdone. My ice will freeze the hearts of dragons and extinguish the flames of phoenixes. A mere mongrel like you can't defeat me!' With a stomp, Nathan summoned a fresh trail of ravenous ice spikes, tearing up from the ground in an attempt to stop Sirius in his tracks.
