The atmosphere around the main stronghold turned deathly silent for a single second, but just as fast, the silence shattered.
"Attack him all at once!" Adrian roared, his multi-colored aura exploding outward like a storm.
"Don't give him any room to breathe!"
The combined forces of Gloria Academy's remaining core students and the newly arrived 4th-years charged forward in a chaotic but coordinated wave of power.
Vaelor was the first to recover fully.
He slammed his greatsword into the ground, cracked stone exploding beneath his feet as he launched himself upward with a burst of pure physical strength.
"Heaven Breaker!"
His greatsword came down in a vertical arc, crimson-red draconic energy forming a massive blade of pure force that aimed to split Gray in half from head to toe.
The air screamed under the pressure.
WHOOOOOOSH!
BOOM!
Gray didn't even take a full step.
