Silence had fallen over the stage, but not in the stands of the Arena.
The crowd was still filled with noise.
People were talking excitedly about the battle, while others were watching the Holographic Screens that displayed the fight from different angles. Even those watching the Combat Festival live on Skynet had begun to notice something strange.
Both Tristin and Cyrus had stopped fighting.
At least, only for a brief moment.
Whoosh!
A violent gust of wind swept across the fighting platform, clearing away the remaining cloud of smoke around Tristin.
His figure slowly became visible.
A yellow Light Barrier covered his entire body, protecting him from the explosion Cyrus had just created.
But now…
Tristin was also holding a heavy Light Blade.
The weapon looked much larger than the small Light Daggers he had used earlier.
His Cognis also surged out of his body.
Faint yellow Cognis, mixed with the shape of lightning, flowed across his body and flickered around his arms.
