Kay nodded, and his bow ignited in flames. Unlike the others, he didn't have the physical endurance to match Klaus, but he made up for it with speed. Before anyone could blink, a flaming arrow shot from his bow, streaking through the air and arriving in front of Klaus in an instant. Stay updated through empire Klaus calmly raised his sword, slicing the arrow in half with a swift motion. He took a single step forward, closing the gap. The distance between them was 200 meters, and for Kay to win, he had to find a way to push Klaus back. Another arrow left Kay's bow, fierce and blazing. Klaus cut it down effortlessly and stepped forward again. Kay's eyes narrowed, his focus sharpening. Without hesitation, he locked multiple arrows onto his bow and let them loose in rapid succession. A storm of flaming arrows filled the air, each one aimed precisely at Klaus. "That was quite the speed there, Kay, but you will have to be faster," Klaus said, cutting the arrows as they came. "Flame Barrage unleashed," Kay responded, unleashing another barrage of attacks. But Klaus kept cutting them as they came. It took just 20 minutes for him to move 50 meters, closing in on the 200-meter gap he had set. Kay knew he was running out of time, but he also didn't want to use his strongest move just yet. The skill Klaus had given him, the Lion's Roar Pierce, was his strongest move, and in order to have a chance, he wanted to use it when the gap between them was not that wide. With an attack that could turn his flaming arrow into a lion's head with a long Pointed flaming horn, he was certainly counting on it. Klaus's eyes narrowed. He could feel Kay's hesitation. The real fight was just beginning. Kay steadied his breath. He aimed another arrow, flames swirling around the tip. He released it, but this time with a twist. The arrow split into five, each one racing toward Klaus with fiery trails. Klaus grinned, his sword flashing as he deflected each one with precision. Sparks flew around him, lighting up the ground. "Is that all you've got?" Klaus taunted, taking a step closer. Kay's heart pounded. He couldn't hold back any longer. He drew a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. When they snapped open, they were burning with fiery determination. "Lion's Roar Pierce!" he shouted. "Oh, I thought Lily would go first, considering she wanted to show off her sword qi to Klaus," Miriam said, raising an eyebrow. "Wait, she has also unlocked sword qi?" Klaus's mother asked. "Yes, she was the first to unlock it. Her sword qi is even stronger than her brother's," Miriam replied, a smile playing on her lips. She had been giving Lily some pointers over the past few days and was eager to see how much she had grown. "But I want to witness Anna. This young lady seems to have a rather strong affinity for the Ice element," another voice suddenly spoke. "You two do know it's creepy to lurk in the shadows like that?" Miriam turned to a particular shadow where Nuna's voice had come from. The shadow flickered, and Nuna appeared, followed by her twin sister, Luna. "Sorry about that, Sister Miriam," Luna said with a guilty smile. The twins had always preferred staying in the shadows since they had spent much of their lives alone. Now, even though they were surrounded by people they considered friends, old habits seem to die hard. "Tsk," Miriam chuckled, turning her attention back to the arena. "Don't worry, girls. She's just having a hard time coming to terms with her emotions," Klaus's mother said with a smile, watching Miriam's antics. The twins nodded. They had been staying with Klaus's family now. However, while that might seem unusual, they hadn't stopped their work—taking out the assassins sent after Klaus. This had helped them remain unsuspected, as their mother, who was also their former slave master, was concerned. They simply told her that someone powerful was protecting Klaus and that they would need more time. Klaus looked at Anna, now gripping her staff as she looked back at him with her icy green eyes. She also seemed to be radiating a green, icy energy that was immediately freezing the space around her. [Interesting, this young lady is on the verge of awakening her Ice element] the senior suddenly said from Klaus's soul sea. "Senior, do you know the type of ice element she will be awakening?" Klaus asked, curious. [From the aura, only one ice element comes to mind: Infinity Freezing Ice] the senior replied. [It's number 7 on the Absolute Heavenly Ice Chart.]
