Kyle wore a serious expression as he released the phoenix from his hands.
"It's because of Ceano. He triggered the strange artifact enveloped in dark energy in his hands the mont we arrived here."
Bia glanced at the destroyed planet, its shattered pieces drifting aimlessly in the dark expanse of space.
-"Wait, wouldn't such large-scale destruction also harm him? Why did he do it? And what about the planet's residents? Oh my gosh, they must have all died!"
Kyle extended his senses to locate Ceano. He was certain that the man would not be hard by the explosion he had caused.
"The planet's inhabitants? I don't think we need to worry about them because, based on the dark energy I sensed, I am sure it belongs to the dark side."
He had randomly selected the coordinates for the portal he created for Ceano, aiming to ensure the location was as far away as possible from the elven planet. Who would have thought that they would end up on a planet linked to the dark side?
"Still, it's hard to fathom that even after knowing we had arrived on a planet aligned with his side, Ceano chose to destroy it."
Kyle muttered under his breath and swiftly turned around when he sensed a presence behind him, only to discover Ceano floating there, completely unscathed.
"What a pity. I was genuinely hoping you would be hard in the explosion."
Ceano chuckled at his words, softly brushing off the dust from his clothes.
"The sentint is mutual, you know?"
He cast a regretful glance at the planet, eighty percent of which had been reduced to re fragnts.
No, he didn't feel any sorrow for the lives lost in the explosion he caused; his only regret was that he had wasted a valuable artifact, while the target he intended to eliminate with it remained unhard.
Ceano let out a sigh, and Kyle ford a portal just as the man suddenly attacked the area where he was with a beam of light. The portal shattered, and the beam of light obliterated everything in its path, but Kyle had already moved away with Bia before the beam could reach them.
Bia swiftly transford into her phoenix form. Imdiately, golden flas erupted around her, illuminating the surrounding space with a warm glow. Kyle glanced at her and communicated in her mind.
'Be careful. He is not weak.'
The phoenix's eyes narrowed at his words. She wanted to argue that she wasn't weak, but chose to hold off on that confrontation for later, considering currently they were up against a powerful enemy.
Ceano watched Bia's transformation, his golden eyes reflecting the srizing yet destructive flas.
"What a sight. I've been aning to ask... you both have unique flas, don't you?"
He shifted his gaze to Kyle.
"Your icy blue flas as well-they're far more powerful than ordinary."
Kyle simply sneered.
"So, are you jealous?"
Ceano's eyes glead as he examined Kyle's whole body to see if the human form held sothing unique within it. However, he clicked his tongue in disappointnt when he sensed nothing special.
"No, not really. I'm just curious if there's a reason behind it. Regardless, who do you think will win this ti?"
He waved his hand, and the dark space around him began to reshape into massive, sharp spear-like structures that pointed their tips toward the human and the phoenix flying opposite him.
Last ti, the array created by Kyle had reduced his strength, but now, even though his current body was a fake he had created, he could utilize nearly all his strength.
'Let's see how long you can last now that there's no array to assist you.'
Ceano disappeared from his spot, and all the sharp structures hovering around him surged toward Kyle and Bia.
Kyle glanced at the many attacks hurtling toward him and Bia with astonishing speed. His eyes turned white, and imdiately, everything around him slowed down.
"Of course, I will win."
He didn't stop the attacks; instead, he quickly turned around and blocked the kick aid at him from behind.
Ceano's eyes widened slightly as he observed his movents slow down in sync with the environnt. He scrunched up his nose in annoyance.
"I didn't believe it at first that you could manipulate the ti around you, but now I suppose I have to accept it."
Both he and Kyle were propelled backward in mid-air due to the collision.
Ceano had just managed to stop himself when a wave of golden flas attempted to engulf his body. With a cold expression, he vanished from his position.
"You stopped , but what about the attacks that are closing in?"
His voice resonated in the space. This was the second ti Kyle had used the natural law of ti against him. Therefore, it was futile for the human to affect him with the sa tactic again, since he could simply nullify its effects as the stronger one.
Kyle crafted portals before himself and Bia. They swiftly entered the portals just as the ti around them resud its normal pace, and the barrage of attacks hurtling toward them reached their position.
The dark space erupted with another thunderous explosion as the nurous spears aid at the duo converged at a single point. The sheer force of the impact unleashed shockwaves that rippled through the air, distorting the surroundings.
Kyle erged from the portal in the distance. He glanced at the phoenix that appeared behind
him.
'Bia, you can sense , right? You are slower than both and Ceano. However, through the connection we share, try to pinpoint my location and attack Ceano whenever you get the
chance.'
The phoenix nodded, and before Ceano could launch another attack at them, Kyle attacked him first this ti.
The silver spear materialized in his hand as he clashed with Ceano amidst the darkness surrounding them.
The air crackled with sparks, and Kyle was pushed backward from the impact.
However, thanks to his physique and strength, which had attained the supre rank, he was not significantly affected, even though Ceano rank was higher than him.
"This bastard has gotten faster. I guess this battle is going to drag on for a long ti..."
Kyle whispered as he charged at Ceano once more, who smirked and drew a curved blade shrouded in dark energy to face him.
