CLANG!
The deafening clangor of metal striking against metal resounded in the fiery arena. Within the plumes of smoke rising to the sky, 2 valiant Avatars with a shield and a long sword clashed in a battle to the death.
Their movement was so fast that it left a blur behind.
Unlike his usual slow and methodical approach that Jonathan employed to deceive Gabriel in the individual battle, leading to his eventual victory.
This time, in their rematch, Jonathan employed another approach, the opposite strategy.
This time, it was the duel of Paladins that all neutral fans hoped for.
Crimson Saint clashed against Dain Ironvalor, no strings attached, no pretty or dubious elements added.
It was a raw clash of steel and will. And boy was it explosive.
Jonathan could decide to employ the same approach like he did in the individual battle, but he knew that his approach only worked because Gabriel never realized what his true intentions were due to his misdirection.
