BOOM!! BOOM!!
RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!!
The skies above Endless's ruined domain quaked as though the heavens themselves could not bear witness to the clash. Flashes of abyssal black collided against streams of silver-gold brilliance, rending the void apart and sewing it back together in the same breath. Kaelen's blade, burning with radiant mana, carved arcs through the air, while Endless, cloaked in the fathomless abyss, countered each strike with overwhelming, soul-crushing power.
Kaelen's lungs heaved, each breath burning his chest, but he refused to falter. His body screamed under the weight of the battle, yet his will refused to yield.
Suddenly, in the middle of his desperate exchange, Eternity's voice echoed within him, deep and calm, laced with disappointment.
"Kaelen… when do you plan to stop playing at power?"
Kaelen gritted his teeth, deflecting another devastating slash from Endless's shadowed blade, the shockwave blasting through the skies.
