The arena was enveloped in tense silence as Mavi, the Runemaster, faced off against Kaelen. He was clad in armor made of dense, dark wood that was almost indistinguishable from metal. His every move exuded power and control, with giant roots emerging from the ground at his command, transforming the ring into his domain.
Mavi clenched her fists, feeling the weight of the atmosphere around her. Kaelen smiled slightly, extending a hand as black roots began to emerge from the ground, snaking toward her.
Kaelen began the fight without hesitation. In one fluid motion, he summoned sharp spikes that erupted from the ground and advanced quickly toward Mavi. She activated her defensive runes, creating a glowing shield that blocked the initial attack.
"You won't last long, Mavi," Kaelen taunted, his deep voice echoing in the arena. "The black wood consumes everything it touches."
