System vs Rebirth

"There doesn't seem to be any other trace… is this a tr—!" Before she completed her sentence, a few presences suddenly charged straight at them. "Watch out!"

Even though she tried to warn them, their movement was swift and precise.

Gargan, who had a muscular body and trained instinct, became the first one to react to the sudden situation. He immediately turned around while raising his hammer, trying to stop whoever dared to approach them.

But before he realized it, ice emerged from the ground and circled around his arms and legs, stopping his movement.

"!!!" Gargan widened his eyes in surprise. He could easily crush this ice with brute force, but when he applied some pressure on the ice, a black phoenix dove down from the sky.

"Kh." Gargan gritted his teeth, realizing that this phoenix would surely hit him.

Still, they were Spirit Grandmasters. Fil might have reacted a bit slower, but the phoenix came a little later than the ice. So, he managed to react to this one.

Suddenly, the phoenix was distorted and twisted until it became a single black dot and eventually vanished.

While he did manage to save Gargan, the world seemed to be breaking apart as a muscular man emerged, swinging his hammer.

"Fil!" Gargan turned around. He used the time Fil bought for him to break the ice and rotate his body, planning to use this momentum to strike the guy with a hammer.
