Lightning Is the Only Way

BANG!

The arrow hit Arthur's chest and exploded. A fountain of blood and organ pieces exploded into the surroundings, and it was hard to tell if he was still alive or not.

SHING!

Liran charged out of the storm of destruction of their previous attacks as he pulled out a new arrow. In an instant, Liran pointed his bow at Arthur's remains again.

Everything below Arthur's chest was destroyed, but his upper chest, arms, and head were still in one piece.

Arthur was still alive, and Liran wanted to end it.

CRACK! BANG!

Arthur immediately summoned an emblem and broke it into pieces. As soon as he did that, a translucent barrier appeared around him, which blocked the new arrow from Liran.

Liran grimaced as Arthur summoned another emblem and broke it.

SHING!

A seemingly translucent sword cut through the frozen space around Arthur and left behind a deep cut.

"Tch," Liran spat, knowing that he wouldn't be able to kill Arthur today. This madman just spent more money than he was worth. Where did he even get all this money from to buy these two emblems?

Arthur threw one last, cold glance at Liran before he flew into the space cut. In an instant, the cut closed, and Arthur was gone.

"Great," Liran spat. "This will get ugly now."

Liran scanned the surroundings one last time to see if anyone was looking.

SHING!

And then, he vanished.
