E;ina entered the ring with visible confidence, golden essence already flickering around her fists.
Thomas Grey took position looking determined despite the deficit.
"BEGIN!"
Thomas immediately raised stone walls, trying to control space and limit Elina's mobility—
Elina's golden-coated fist punched straight through the first wall. Stone shattered like glass.
Thomas's eyes widened.
Elina charged through the debris. Her golden coating was brighter, more refined than standard blue essence enhancement. Each movement cracked the arena floor beneath her feet.
Thomas tried to trap her with earth bindings rising from the ground.
She tore through them. Simply overpowered the constructs with raw physical strength.
Thomas switched tactics, creating distance, launching earth spikes—
Elina dodged the first few, then started punching them apart mid-flight. Each spike shattered against her golden-coated fists.
