Song suggestion : AERO CORD - Drop it (slowed) with earphone on.

In a split second, I saw Abel's spear spiraling toward me, this aura taunting me from afar is making me lose my mind.

Memories of my mother's death flooded my mind, my brain scrambling to assess the situation. But deep down, I knew—this was a mockery, someone impersonating her to distract me. Rage surged through me, boiling my blood.

Without hesitation, I transformed my gem into a spear, grabbed Abel's, and instinctively hurled both with every ounce of my strength toward the figure tormenting me.

"Who dares impersonate my mother!" I roared, my voice ripping through the arena.

Boom! Boom! The spears struck the audience wall, sending shockwaves through the building. The mages seated there barely managed to shield themselves and those around them. The crowd fell silent, stunned by the aftershock that rattled the arena.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Abel's shout broke through my daze. "You almost kill our comrades!"

I turned to him, chest heaving, my pulse pounding in my ears as an overwhelming anxiety took hold. The sound around began to blur and fade as darkness swept over me, pulling me into unconsciousness.
