Aries summoned power from his system and activated his living armament: his silver hair skill. His short, curly hair began to extend rapidly as he stood in place, growing long and wrapping around his hands, stretching taut in his grasp like living whips.
The spectators' eyes widened with surprise at the display. Even Aldric's usually composed expression flickered in shock.
As the hair finished extending, Aries flung it forward with no particular technique, aiming straight for Aldric's leg. The strands coiled around it instantly, and he yanked sharply, dragging Aldric forward.
Caught off guard, Aldric staggered, barely managing to regain his footing.
A small, triumphant smile crept across Aries' lips as he realized he had actually caused an effect. Gasps echoed through the arena as everyone watched Aldric struggle against the hair's grip.
Annoyed but determined, Aldric channeled strength into his sword and lunged at Aries.
