Leon didn't waste time. He conjured a shining sword made of divinity and charged at Aaran. The Emperor watched on, uninterested, as if he already knew the result. As for the audience, they were on the edge of their seats, eager to watch Aaran's severed head go flying.
But the next moment, they all were stunned into silence.
As Leon got closer, Aaran muttered a single phrase before a blinding light covered everything.
"Chapter One: Hymn of strength!"
Leon was taken aback and tried blocking the attack with his sword, but it was all in vain. Much like his darkness, Aaran's divinity had also evolved overtime, learning and adapting to the darkness within.
To put it in simple words, Aaran's darkness and divinity were fighting a silent war within his body. Each wanted to triumph over the other and, as a result, both elements had far surpassed the limits placed on other users.
