Iggy moved first.
Of course he did.
Phantom Ember ignited instantly, heat bending the air as he rushed forward without hesitation.
"Let's see if you're actually worth all that buildup!"
His strike was fast. Clean. Direct.
It didn't land.
Not because Voss dodged—
Because the space in front of him shifted slightly.
Just enough.
Phantom Ember's strike passed through where he should have been.
"…What?" Iggy muttered.
Jovian reacted instantly.
"Pull back!"
Too late.
A sharp movement—
Not visible, but felt—
And Iggy was thrown backward, sliding across the ground hard.
He caught himself, but barely.
Lucien moved next.
Midnight Sontana slipped into motion, striking from an angle instead of head-on.
This time—
The hit almost connected.
Almost.
Again, the same thing.
A shift.
Not a dodge.
A correction in space.
"…He's not moving," Lucien said under his breath.
Alaric stepped in.
Golden Cavalier struck with precision, not speed.
A controlled attack aimed at where Voss would have to react.
For the first time—
There was contact.
A sharp impact echoed.
Voss's Stand moved.
Fast.
Too fast.
It intercepted cleanly, blocking Golden Cavalier without effort.
The clash sent a ripple through the ground.
Jovian watched closely.
"…So that's it."
Vital Mirage stepped forward.
Now it was his turn.
