Lux tried to remember the pattern of Ferdinand's attacks, plotting the assault. Ferdinand waited for Lux to strike, but after seeing him standing still for a while, he began to grow bored. He eyed his watch, before looking back at Lux and said, "Alright! Time's up!" He thrust both fists at Lux, firing a stream of fire at him. Lux opened his eyes, charged at Ferdinand, and dodged the gush of flame. Ferdinand shot fireballs at Lux out of his fists and feet. Lux evaded all the fireballs but got scratched and burned by a few of them.
Ferdinand strode backward as he saw Lux was about to reach him. When Lux got to Ferdinand, he uppercut him, launching up to the sky. Ferdinand spun in the air to stop and looked down at Lux. But Lux disappeared. Ferdinand darted his eyes around, searching for Lux, before he heard something falling toward him from above. He looked up at the sky and saw Lux plummeting down toward him. Lux sneakily jumped into the air after sending Ferdinand soaring, which is why he was above him right now.
Lux threw a powerful punch at the center of Ferdinand's back, blasting him back to the ground. Ferdinand crashed into the dirt. But while he was getting up, Lux dropped onto him, flattened him back against the ground and put him in a headlock.
"I've never known you like to attack from behind." Ferdinand glared sideways at Lux, smiling creepily, trying to remove his arms.
"Shut your mouth!" yelled Lux
"It doesn't matter. Because in the end, I'll still be the one who wins!"
Ferdinand punched the ground and slowly lifted himself up. When he got back on his feet, he tried to shake Lux off by elbowing him, spinning around, and attempting to yank out his arms. He pulled Lux's arms with all his strength, screaming.
"You will never defeat me!" shouted Ferdinand.
"You talk too much!" yelled Lux.
Lux seized Ferdinand's head and snapped his neck. Ferdinand collapsed down to his knees and fell down to the earth.
Lux stared at Ferdinand's motionless body on the ground, gasping with exhaustion. When he didn't see any movement from him, he slowly turned around and walked away from the flower arena.
"Leaving so soon," said Ferdinand.
Lux stopped and looked at Ferdinand.
Ferdinand floated up from the ground and got back on his feet, before turning to Lux and clapping his hands in a rhythm. "Bravo, friend, bravo. By the way, thanks for the therapy." Ferdinand grabbed his head, flipped his face back to the front, and cracked his neck. "You just cure my sore neck. Alright! Shall we continue?" He adopted a kung fu pose, and his hands and feet bursted into flame once more.
"Enough!" Lux conjured the white armor and the blue sword, and pointed it at Ferdinand. "No more games! This time I'll cut off your head!"
"You're bored already! What a shame! Fine! If you don't want to play this game anymore, then…" Ferdinand cracked a creepy smile. "Let's play something else."
Ferdinand dashed to Lux with super speed and bumped him with his shoulder. Lux flew away, fell down, and slid along the ground. But before Lux could get up, Ferdinand sped to Lux and seized his foot. "Let's touch the stars!" Ferdinand soared up into the sky with a speed of sound, lifting Lux up to the ceiling of dark clouds.
