After Seraphina and Sophia's match came Julius vs. Rowan.
Julius Regulus Vermont (Julie Anne Vermont)—heir of the Vermont family versus Rowan Drake—representative of the Adventurer's Guild.
Both participants went up the stage and fought, and their battle was the most exciting so far.
Julius showcased the signature style of his family—Golden Thread Arts. It's a dextrous and agile martial art that turns chakra into solid and durable golden threads that could either be sharpened enough to slice through metal or bind the targets and turn them into puppets.
It's not just limited to controlling the threads; it comes with lithe, agile, and dexterous movements that make the user almost untouchable.
Julius glided through the arena as if he were never there, as if he were just a mere figment of one's imagination, all smoke and mirrors. But his golden threads were very real.
They sliced through rocks and caused a lot of grief for Rowan.
