Chapter 2642: Spectacles
The crowd roared with uncontainable excitement.
It was a spectacular sight—after all, it’s rare to watch a grand magus-level battle. The air rippled with energy, and the battlefield crackled as two overwhelming forces clashed with power far beyond that of ordinary grand magus. Explosions of light and waves of temporal distortion flared in all directions, drawing awestruck gasps from even the most seasoned spectators.
Julian gave it everything he had.
His four golden wings flared bright like twin suns. With every beat, he launched into a blitz of holy slashes, his blade a comet trailing sacred flame. He poured every ounce of his strength into each strike, every ounce of faith burning through his veins.
And still—Kronos parried.
Massive scythes danced in his hands, their curved edges trailing temporal afterimages. He met Julian’s assault head-on, parrying each strike. Sparks flew from every collision, and time seemed to slow with each parry—then snap forward with each counter. The two titans danced through the sky, exchanging blow after blow.
The protective array encasing the arena trembled under the force of their clashing powers. Magical glyphs flickered, struggling to contain the shockwaves.
To the average spectator, the battle seemed evenly matched. Cuts began to form on both their bodies, crimson trails staining armor—proof that neither combatant was emerging unscathed.
But those who truly understood-those sitting in the highest tiers of the arena—could see the deeper truth.
Julian was struggling.
On the VIP platform, the Grand Overseer nodded solemnly. "This Julian... he’s truly remarkable. To hold the Guardian’s Blessing this long... but alas, he is only a full moon. He can’t last much longer."
Jinkan, seated beside him, nodded quietly.
