The center of the dueling ground had been cleaned up. This left the Dark Apostle and the Fiery Axe with nothing to look at aside from each other.
As both of them stepped onto the center plaza of the frozen planet, they both created a very different impression.
If the challenger had entered this duel with his previous gear, then he would have resembled the strategos of the Flesh Chopper Phalanx a lot more. His fire-aspected weapon and raiment would have blended in nicely with the Fiery Axe's own fire hyper gear.
Unfortunately, the Dark Apostle chose to approach this fight in a completely different fashion. His raiment may be light, but it cast him in a darker and more ominous light.
The Dark Wing Raiment even exaggerated its moody look with a large flight system that on the surface resembled the partially folded wings of a bat.
Paired together with the Dark Tooth and the Murder Knife, the Dark Apostle finally looked worthy of his moniker.
