Kaidros and the old man stood within the forest, having distanced themselves far from the others' battle so as not to cause any disturbance or interference. Their cultivations were the strongest among both teams, meaning the shockwaves from their clash would spread wide—too wide.
Unlike the others, they weren't standing on the ground but floating above the forest, gazing intently at one another.
"I still wonder what gives you the confidence to go against the Ignis Clan," the old man asked. Kaidros, meanwhile, maintained his silence.

WHOOSH!
The atmosphere shifted as an enormous wind surged. Both opponents had released their auras, creating this violent scene. Their clash alone stirred the very air.
Kaidros's aura was sharp like a sword, while the old man's was that of a raging fire. As the two energies collided, the world around them seemed to change.
