[ in a way, ye xiu's voice turns a touch nostalgic when he speaks next. ]
I know that feeling.
[ it really has been a while since he's last experienced the game he loves so much that he'd been through hell and back for it— well, maybe that's being too melodramatic. however, a year has already passed before he made his way back to the stage, with all its glorious lights and hyped up crowds, the feeling of snatching victory by the skin of your teeth. and now it's been a year since he first arrived here.
two years is an incredibly long time for someone who already had a deadline.

the countdown brings him back, golden eyes watching as joonghyuk buffs himself up. every movement of his is fluid, alarmingly so, as if he's just told a lie and really has been playing something like this for most of his life. the battle god himself moves in the same way, a light blue glow surrounding the rest of his weapon. it increases its damage, double its original stat. his own speed should be more than enough to counter the buff joonghyuk had given himself.

he leaps into action, bridging the gap between the two of them as he practically glides across the shallow water. he's sure the other would have seen this coming, but that's why he feints just before he delivers a direct blow upfront, turning in place to activate low-level skill instead: if he aims the tip of his spear with no disruption, it'll kickstart its knockback effect.
it's not meant to damage, but mostly to see if his opponent can be caught off guard. ]
