An Extra’s POV

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!~

The earth shattered apart, and everything around it was both a pile of molten rock, and a disorganized heap of debris.

Standing amidst this sight of destruction was a single being.

"Aww… you used Spatial Magic to teleport before we hit the ground. Yeah… forgot you had that." Ce'phas mumbled, slowly above the huge crater he created as a result of his crash.

His gaze was fixed in one direction alone, and that was where Adrien floated, his hand tightly gripping the same blade from earlier.

"I can't fight you like a normal opponent, it seems. You're smart and strong… an annoying opponent, which makes you worth fighting. Ohhh… I can't wait till I completely crush you and crush you, and—!"

"Ce'phas, you're getting carried away!" U'riah yelled out from the distance where he stood. R'azak was right beside him, and they both had unpleasant expressions to give him.

"We need to get this sorted out quickly so we know what to do about the Conquest. They could attack our Camp any minute now, so this isn't the time to be wasting any—"

"Time? Yeah, got it!" Ce'phas grinned, having a certain twinkle in his eyes.

"Haaa… whatever. Please just finish up quickly so we can prepare for our next course of action."

U'riah's hands covered his face as he sighed in exasperation, so he couldn't see Ce'phas' look of disappointment after being chastised.

This terrible mood of his didn't last long, though.

"Fine, fine…" He said with a brilliant grin, quickly returning to the optimistic vibe he had earlier.

".... I'll end it quickly."

He crouched once again, watching Adrien like a predator observes prey. The lad in the sky narrowed his eyes as he took his stance in the air, preparing himself for whatever attack that would be dished out.

"Here I come!"

~WHUUUUUUSH!~

Now much faster than before, Ce'phas caught up with Adrien within a fraction of a moment, his hand already tightly on his neck.
