The fight started before either of them moved, Vex's annihilation sphere expanding from five meters to eight meters in an instant, testing if Luthra would panic and retreat, Luthra held his ground and let his Corruption Field push back against the destructive energy, the boundary between annihilation and negative mana creating visible distortion in the air.
"Interesting," Vex said, circling slowly, "your field actually resists mine, most B-Ranks would be consumed already."
"I specialize in not dying to things that should kill me," Luthra responded, mirroring Vex's movement, keeping distance while looking for openings that probably didn't exist.
