But just as the demon stumbled, it reared back, its wings unfurling in a menacing sweep. The ground beneath Adam and Elesch began to crack, molten fissures opening as the demon prepared to unleash its full fury, a strike that could obliterate both of them in one blow.
Elesch's void energy swirled violently, preparing a massive counter, while Adam's Chimera Shell glimmered, hybrid adaptations forming for one final stand.
They looked at each other, a silent understanding passing between them: they either survived this strike together or nothing would survive.
The demon's roar split the air, wings thrashing violently, and the ground trembled beneath them, sending up waves of molten debris.
Elesch's void sphere expanded, and Adam coiled like a spring, ready to strike. And then, just as the demon brought its claws down, the world seemed to pause, the two warriors poised at the edge of survival and victory.
