The sun had risen behind the mountains, casting a warm golden glow over the Ancient Beast Mountain Range. Inside an isolated valley surrounded by mountains, there was a clearing of nothing but grass. Due to the freezing temperatures of the mountains, the grass had frost growing on it despite the sun.
As the rays of sunlight descended onto this valley, two figures plopped onto the ground taking deep breaths. There were craters, crevasses, and destruction all around them, evident that they had just fought. However, when they looked at each other, they both had small smiles on their faces, indicating that it was a friendly bout.
"Haaa… Haaa… Haaa…"
"Haaa… Haaa… Haaa…"
As the two sat down, leaning on their weapons, Ryuu's golden Sword Threads dissipated, and Mira's black Scythe Intent vanished.
It took a few minutes to steady their breathing, and Ryuu looked at Mira after it did.
