You have certainly tried.\" Orion sighed with mock sympathy as he lifted his remaining claw high above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Rivock was twitching on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of agonizing struggles, he managed to claw his way to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood poured from the wound in his abdomen, but he clenched his jaws tightly, his focus locked on Grey’s fierce, unyielding gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kira, also bleeding heavily, let out a pained groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks of blue electricity crackled against the earth as she dug her wings into the soil, dragging herself back into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of dizziness threatened to overwhelm her senses, but she forced herself to remain focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caught sight of Grey on the ground, with Orion looming over him, claws raised for the final decapitating blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye,\" Orion muttered, swinging his talons down toward the mage’s neck with lethal, blurring speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NOW!\" Grey’s voice thundered, a sudden, powerful command that ripped through the heavy atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kira vanished from her position, reappearing directly beside Orion in a shimmering flash of blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beak snapped open instantly, clamping down on the descending claw with bone-crushing force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A searing, white-hot beam then erupted from her throat, a concentrated stream of solar-tier energy that disintegrated the hybrid’s limb as if it were nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s eyes widened, pupils shrinking in immense agony as he staggered backward, his mind reeling in total shock at the sudden reversal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even begin to regain his composure, Thalos was already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a brutal swing of his greatsword from below—as if he were a batter swinging for the fences—he sent Orion’s massive frame flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trail of black, viscous blood streaked through the air in a gruesome arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hybrid’s body ricocheted across the jagged ground for several seconds before he managed to drive his tail into the stone, halting his momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the very earth beneath him refused to remain still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bind,\" Grey uttered, his voice calm yet carrying the weight of a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground surged upward, liquid stone wrapping around Orion until his entire form from the torso downward was encased in reinforced earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sequence was moving with such frantic velocity that the warrior hadn’t found the time to process his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one reality remained evident: he needed to escape this subterranean trap immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of dark Ki began surging around his body, his remaining hand flooding with energy at a desperate speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have twenty seconds left,’ Grey calculated internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the raw Ki and mana building within his own limbs, merging and converging rapidly toward his wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dual energies moved at an astonishing rate toward his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attention never wavered as the wind began to howl around his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning gauntlets crackled with newfound intensity, and in response, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble with a rhythmic, terrifying thrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a deep rumbling, as if a prehistoric beast was about to burst through the crust of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around Grey thinned and vibrated, looking as though it were about to shatter like glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the strain, his grin widened as he finally glanced at his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands shook as a brilliant, blinding light consumed his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the atmosphere wasn’t just quaking; it was literally fracturing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as he hovered a few inches above the floor, the terrain beneath him began cracking and shattering into a spiderweb of deep fissures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrapped around his fist was not just a white energy, but a volatile aura laced with sparks of azure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way the power swathed his hand made it appear as though he had forged a new lightning gauntlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his core, his Ki and mana swirled, combining into a singular, unified force that boosted his physical might to an unprecedented level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, Orion blasted out of his earthen bindings, his face contorted in a mask of betrayal as he saw Grey rising to his feet as if the previous collapse had never occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—you lied to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Folding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the distance between the two combatants diminished to nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire sky was now crackling with a cacophony of thunderbolts crashing from the firmament to the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fissures erupted across the coliseum floor as Grey’s fists trembled with the exponential amounts of energy converging around his person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With space folded around them, Orion suddenly found himself within arm’s length of the mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey wasted no time, thrusting his hand forward with every ounce of strength he had gathered.
