“I hope I can continue to count on you during the tournament. However, there has been a development.

Roc was narrowly holding his own, but he realized the battle couldn’t be decided on the ground. He pulled away from Ingram and flapped his wings, taking to the sky with his nemesis chasing after him. They flew laps around the arena, colliding and exchanging blows in midair. The audience raised their eyes and fingers to the sky, watching the airborne battle in shock and awe. Both feathers and blood were shed with each collision, with talons ripping through flesh and punches landing with devastating force. Over and over, it seemed like they would crash into the stands, but by some miracle, they stayed in the air. Higher, they rose, taking their battle above the arena. The tournament no longer mattered, only the battle, and there were no edges in the sky.

That's it, Seiya. Don't be afraid of me. Very soon, you will understand everything. Finally, we can be together. Calm, please take a look at me. Look at my eyes. The intricate spirals make you feel relaxed. As a saint, your mission is to serve Athena, but now the battles are over. You just need to focus on me. It's time for you to take a break. I will help you. Soon, you will only have me in your head.
