Chapter 13: Epic Battle

Isaiah wielded his mace as a formidable barrier against Lennox's relentless speed, determined to prove his worth. Taunts filled the air as Lennox proclaimed his supremacy in agility, met with Isaiah's unwavering resolve.

With renewed determination, Isaiah charged his mace once more, preparing for Lennox's next move. Lennox wasted no time and darted towards Isaiah, fists poised for an attack. Isaiah braced himself, knowing that Lennox's attack would be swift.

The tension peaked as Isaiah swung his mace with precision, forcing Lennox to make a split-second course correction. The ground quaked upon impact, causing an explosion that added chaos to the already fierce battle. Lennox adapted, changing his direction mid-air with remarkable finesse.

In the midst of the scuffle, Charles took action, transforming All-Black into an impervious shield to block Lennox's punch. Simultaneously, Jackie's Kitsune entered the fray, enhancing the intensity of the battle. Isaiah, grateful for Charles's support, shifted his focus to face Jackie.

Acknowledging the need to eliminate Jackie from the equation, Isaiah summoned his formidable Stand, Dark Inferno. This time, he used the Stand's fiery might to form a colossal hand, seizing Jackie and slamming her forcefully into the ground. With unwavering determination, he accelerated their movement, dragging her across the battleground.

Charles, still facing Lennox, decided to intervene further. He elevated himself into the air, reshaping his shield into a piercing spear and thrusting it at Lennox, extending the handle to maintain a strategic advantage. However, Lennox's agility shone through as he nimbly dodged Charles's precise strikes.

Meanwhile, Benjamin and Cory engaged in a duel that showcased their mastery of weapons. Benjamin's quick reflexes allowed him to dodge Cory's scythe, narrowly escaping its lethal edge. Their exchange continued to intensify, with Cory employing mirror shards and portals in his unpredictable tactics.

Cory's portal-based attack persisted, adding an element of unpredictability to the contest. The combatants shifted through these portals, with Cory displaying his ability to attack from unexpected angles. The battle was a breathtaking spectacle of strategy and skill.

On the other side of the arena, Evan faced off against Velena in a display of extraordinary power and cunning. Time manipulation played a pivotal role as Evan temporarily halted time to unleash a devastating five-strike cross slash against Velena. The audience watched in awe as Evan's swordsmanship and tactics dominated the moment.

Velena, resourceful and prepared, summoned a Light Soldier beneath Evan, propelling him upward with its shield. This allowed Velena to access her Summon, "Sad," and a mystical book fell into his grasp. The confrontation escalated as Velena chanted "Gho-!!!" and Evan countered with "Excalibur."

The ground beneath Velena erupted in a majestic display of swords, Excalibur's power unleashed. Velena took to the skies, leaving her ax behind, while Evan responded with blade beams of Excalibur. Velena's "Phantom Rush" was countered by a large, invulnerable Light Soldier that charged at Evan.

Evan blocked the Light Soldier's strike, initiating a rapid series of events in this breathtaking clash. Time manipulation allowed Evan to reposition himself, all while realizing that his time was limited. The standoff culminated in an intricate display of swordplay.

As the battle raged on, Isaiah, Charles, and their allies switched opponents, and a multitude of confrontations took place around the arena. Isaiah took on Jackie, skillfully controlling the fiery pillars of his mace to create a dynamic battlefield. Jackie, agile and resourceful, fought back.

Charles decided to take a break from the front lines and withdrew to the stands, exclaiming his intention to rest. Isaiah, however, refocused on his mission to defeat Lennox, delivering a powerful strike that sent Lennox crashing across the court.

Amid the relentless battles, Xavier pursued Miles, who desperately tried to evade his relentless pursuit. Xavier wielded his keyboard, deploying a command that slowed Miles down and allowed him to strike a flurry of blows.

Xavier's final keystroke triggered a remarkable attack, showering Miles with delayed sword strikes, splattering the court with blood. The fight took an unexpected twist as Miles revealed his power by incapacitating Xavier, who was teleported to the stands, looking defeated and frustrated.

Isaiah's attention turned to Miles, who desperately tried to regain control by summoning a pink keyboard, only to experience its failure. As Isaiah approached Miles, he unleashed a barrage of antimatter bullets, forcing Miles to retreat. Jackie intervened to protect Miles.

With unwavering determination, Isaiah wielded his mace and declared, "It's time".
