Clad unsheathed his blade as pink flowers and white energy burst out of it; he positioned himself for a slash as he swung his blade forward, and a wide arc of energy flew towards Theo with incredible speed.
[AURA SLASH]!
Theo effortlessly blocks the attack with his shield as he dashes towards Clad, going in for a thrust, which he parries with his own sword.
!!
"Whoa!" Clad lets out before preparing to swing again, just for Theo to block the attack with his shield again and kick him in the chest with his leg as Clad gets sent flying to a lower floor of the realm but luckily regains his footing and lands on his feet.
"This guy is way faster than he looks!" Clad quickly thought as Theo let himself fall to the lower floor, where he stood, letting a huge thud as he landed, showing how heavy his armor was.
"Quite disappointing," Theo said as he rapidly closed the distance between him and Clad, swinging his blade with immense strength, which the swordsman luckily parried using one of his sword techniques, creating an explosion of white and pink energy into the area.
[FLOWER SWORD ARTS: FLOWER GUARD]!
The two clashed blades multiple times as they rapidly moved around at unnatural speeds. Everyone in the arena watched as the two fought, exchanging blows and cuts as Theo started to block most of Clad's attacks with his shield.
"His shield is stopping me from having a lot of opportunities to counterattack!" Clad thought as Theo started to slowly overwhelm him in power.
Clad rapidly parried his attacks when, seeing the opportunity arise, Theo swung his shield at him with incredible strength as Clad was taking a defensive stance, sending him flying into a nearby wall. The man walked to him slowly as he came out of the destroyed wall and said:
"You cannot win against me."
"You might as well forfeit this match," Theo added as Clad's energy rose rapidly, surprising him as his eyes' pink irises and pupils became white.
"Hey, you, what's your name?" Clad asked.
"Theo Silvereign." He replied.
"Theo, I will come out of this as the winner," Clad said as he pointed his sword at him.
