The entire stadium locked its attention onto the massive screen as the countdown hit zero.
Finally—the long-awaited battle between Frostedge and Akiko had begun!
Since both were close-combat fighters, neither hesitated. The mont the match started, they dashed toward each other, closing the gap in an instant. And what followed was nothing short of breathtaking.
It was simply amazing—the sheer precision of their movents, the flawless swordplay, the way they clashed with perfect timing. Every strike was t with a parry, every opening was exploited and countered, and every step was executed with an almost inhuman level of finesse.
The exchange was so fluid and intense that it felt like watching a choreographed masterpiece—except this was a real battle, where both fighters were constantly seeking that one decisive hit to deal massive damage.
Leon, watching with wide eyes, couldn't help but be in awe.
Even before they had unleashed any powerful spells or abilities, their sheer technical skill was already on full display.
"Both of them are insanely skilled with the sword," Euna was the first to comnt beside Leon.
"Yeah, too many people are good with swords," Leon muttered.
"You're not bad yourself, huh?" she smirked. "You've been making solid progress with your spear these past few months."
Leon didn't respond, his focus still locked onto the battle.
One thing was clear—at this stage of the fight, neither of them had landed a clean hit.
A glance at their Health Points confird it.
Akiko had taken zero damage—as expected. Her Blessing ensured that she was untouched so far.
Frostedge, on the other hand, had also parried every attack flawlessly—his health remained completely intact.
But that was exactly why this wasn't looking good for him.
"If Frostedge keeps holding back, this fight won't end in his favor," Maylon comnted.
"I think he needs to drop the act and start using his skills," Euna added, turning toward Maylon.
"That's exactly what needs to happen," Maylon agreed.
Akiko fully utilized her mobility with her wings, soaring, dashing, and striking with her twin swords at incredible speed. anwhile, Frostedge glided across the ice beneath his feet, delivering attacks that were not only precise and powerful but also breathtakingly graceful.
From a distance, it almost didn't look like a fight—it looked like a beautifully choreographed dance.
Like, seriously.
Akiko swept through the air elegantly, her wings carrying her as she spun mid-flight, slicing, diving, evading, and striking again in a flawless rhythm.
anwhile, Frostedge skated effortlessly across the ice, his movents fluid and untouchable. Each ti Akiko attacked, he slid backward just enough to avoid the hit—but instead of losing montum, he would twist his body and launch himself forward again, like he had built-in boosters on his feet.
Then, in a dramatic mont, Frostedge leaped into the air—his sword clashing against Akiko's in a mid-air battle that sent both of them flying backward.
Yet, even after all that—neither had taken a single hit.
The entire audience was stunned. The sheer elegance and precision of their fight made it feel less like a battle and more like a live martial arts performance, showcasing just how vast the gap was between normal players and those at the absolute top.
They weren't just strong—they were untouchable.
And of course, the audience couldn't hold back their reactions:
"Bro, I can't even dodge a fireball properly, and these two are out here playing aerial chess with swords."
"If I tried to fight like this, I'd trip over my own feet and die instantly."
"They're not even hitting each other, and sohow this is still the most insane fight I've ever seen."
"Plot twist: The real battle is who can look cooler while dodging."
"At this point, just give them a soundtrack and a slow-motion cara, and we got ourselves an Oscar-winning action movie."
As the fight continued, even though it had only been a minute, it was clear that neither side would win at this rate.
Akiko remained untouched, while Frostedge expertly wielded his sword, matching her movents perfectly.
They needed a decisive strike—sothing that could actually end this battle.
Euna spoke up. "Frostedge wouldn't step into this match without so kind of plan, right?"
Maylon imdiately responded. "I have to admit, he's a genius, so yeah, I'm sure he has sothing up his sleeve."
"Damn, now I'm curious… Why is he still engaging in close combat like this? It's obvious that Akiko dominates in speed, while Frostedge's true strength lies in his magic sword fighting. He needs to cast his spells."
Leon nodded slightly, following their conversation, and at that exact mont—on the massive screen in the stadium—things finally started to change.
Frostedge stopped playing Akiko's ga.
Finally, he cast his spells.
A massive ice shard materialized in midair and ca crashing down onto the battlefield.
But with her insane speed, Akiko easily dodged it—the shard slamd into the ground, standing tall like a frozen monunt at the center of the arena.
Frostedge didn't stop. He kept evading her attacks, all while summoning more ice shards, each one embedding itself deep into the battlefield like enormous icy pillars.
Euna frowned. "What is Frostedge doing? With shards that huge, there's no way he can hit Akiko."
Maylon smirked slightly. "I think he's finally showing his ability. He's not casting them to hit her."
Euna replied again, "But still, if Frostedge wants to win, he has to land a hit on Akiko from a distance. And yeah, speaking as soone who's fought her before, that's easier said than done—even with my ability to fly. It's going to be even harder for Frostedge, who relies on his sword to stay airborne."
anwhile, over at the caster's desk, Brando and Paul were deep in discussion, their voices charged with excitent as they analyzed the battle.
Brando spoke first, his tone filled with energy. "Alright, everyone, we're seeing sothing interesting happening here! Frostedge is finally using his magic, but—hold on—he's not even trying to hit Akiko?! Those massive ice shards keep slamming into the ground instead of their target! What is he thinking?!"
Paul responded imdiately. "At a glance, it looks like Frostedge is just wasting his spells, because we all know Akiko's mobility is off the charts—she can dodge anything thrown at her. But here's the problem—Frostedge can't afford to play her ga forever. If he doesn't take control of the battlefield, he's going to lose."
Brando let out a breath, shaking his head. "Man, what is Frostedge planning?! He's got to make a move soon, or this fight is slipping through his fingers!"
On the massive screen, it was clear—Akiko, with her blinding speed, kept weaving through the falling ice shards with ease. Not a single one touched her as she danced through the air, effortlessly avoiding every attack.
And then, for the first ti in the match, she managed to land a clean hit.
Spinning at high velocity, she struck Frostedge with a powerful mid-air slash, sending him flying backward. He barely managed to block with his sword, but the sheer force of her attack sent him crashing hard across the battlefield.

His health bar visibly dropped, and the crowd erupted in shock and excitent.
Akiko was closing in on victory. Seeing her opponent finally weakened, she didn't hesitate—she kept pressing forward, determined to end the match.
The entire stadium was on fire. Fans from both sides, representing the two dominant nations, were on their feet, cheering wildly, their voices rging into a deafening roar of support for their respective champions.
