The concentration of ambient magic power spiked, and without a moment's hesitation, all twelve disciples launched their attacks simultaneously, their unified battle cries echoing through the air.
"Courting death!"
"Accept my strike!"
"You dare defy us?!"
Universal Law Energy surged from the disciples as their techniques lit up the sky. Flames roared, gales howled, and blades of radiant light sliced through the air, all converging on the two laughing figures.
Arthur, still grinning like a fool, barely raised an eyebrow as the incoming attacks approached.
"Oh man, this just keeps getting better."
The flow of time slowed, giving the two enough space to rise to their feet.
"Alright, now's the fighting part," Evan said while summoning his sword, and with a single swing, he deflected several energy blasts at once.
Beside him, Arthur, hands still in his pockets, manipulated gravity, bending the space around him so the incoming attacks twisted off course and disintegrated mid-air.
