A massive silver needle hovered above Adam, like his faithful protector ready to deal with any opponent.
The needle trembled slightly. It was semi-transparent and somewhat blurred, like a shadow of the true power of Adam's The Will.
Whooooooooooooosh.
Trana and Krana's ghosts were torn apart, but they recovered quickly, taking some energy from their masters.
"Agh... Agh... Agh... It's hard... It's really hard..." Adam whispered with a dark look. With each passing moment, he felt rivers of energy drain out of him, for one purpose only - to keep The Will active.
Adam's eyes darkened, but... He was experienced enough to realize that it was unacceptable to shut down at a moment like this. He would either win or lose, he simply had no other option.
Slash.
Adam swung the needle, leaving a long and deep cut on his left arm - from shoulder to elbow. It didn't damage his arm in any way in terms of functionality, as the muscles and tendons were intact, but, it gave Adam what he so desperately needed - clarity.
A bright flash of pain cleared his field of vision, removing the blurriness and giving Adam some time to sort out the threats.
'Alright, I'm not sure I know how to use this The Will... but, all I need is to get rid of those pesky ghosts!' Adam frowned as he swung his hand.
This time, the ghosts acted more cautiously and defended themselves with their scythes, blocking the ghost needle. Moreover, gradually, the needle diverged into transparent threads, showing that Krana and Trana's auras still surpassed his own.
However, Adam had solved the main problem, and now he didn't have to worry about enemy auras tearing him from the inside since he had a loyal protector as well!
"Sister!" Trana exclaimed anxiously, "What should we do?!"
Krana quickly glanced at the ghosts, at the ghostly needle, and then at Adam, who was running straight at them, not planning to stop.
"Tsk. We have no choice but to keep fighting him. From the looks of it, he has very little energy left. Creating an Aura Seal and using The Will for the first time takes a terrifying amount of power. The fact that he's still conscious and on his feet is a miracle!" Krana said before rushing into battle, loosening the control of her aura.
Trana immediately followed her.
They had mastered The Will and created the Aura Seal at the exact moment during their long training. Back then, they couldn't even summon their aura since they had blacked out for more than ten hours, and when they woke up, they felt weak and exhausted.
Soon, their auras would exhaust each other, however, it no longer mattered as much as before. The two aura users didn't fight using only their auras, it was only a part of their power, and thanks to the difference in might the fight could be over quickly.
For example, Prago only needed to use his The Will to defeat Adam, he didn't even need to move or attack. Roughly speaking, The Will allowed Phantom to defeat weaker opponents with little to no energy and abilities.
At the same moment, five silver threads came out, finding themselves against each other so tightly that it was practically a shield.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Without resistance, the silver threads shattered the wind blades, but only the center part, the rest were aimed at Adam.
Adam's pupils narrowed as he abruptly turned his body, allowing the blades to sweep behind his back and in front of his chest, only a few centimeters from his body.
Powerful wind currents fluttered his hair, while the tips rippled before his azure eyes.
Bam.
Krana and Trana jumped away from the silver blades before they slammed into the wall, cutting it several meters deep.
If Fall Hill Prison was not underground but amid the city streets, this attack would have caused severe destruction and even civilian casualties.
"No... it can't be..." Trana muttered in disbelief, looking at the destruction.
Whooooooooooosh.
A tall silhouette appeared in front of her, electric shocks whizzing around its feet.
Trana's eyes went wide as Adam grabbed her and threw her to the other side of the arena - right into her sister, causing the twins to collide with each other at high speed.
Adam made several leaps, finding himself right before Trana and Krana.
He raised his needle high, about to unleash the deadly weapon on his opponents.
"Bastard...!" Trana muttered with her last strength, pulling her arm forward.
Before the irreversible had a chance to happen, Krana carefully hugged Trana, lowering her arm and moving forward - putting her back up to the strike, but protecting her little sister.
Bam.
Adam fell back on the floor like a statue, since his hand was still raised, but no longer clutching anything as the needle dissipated.
Smiling bitterly, Adam closed his eyes - sinking into darkness.
