The city trembled under Obsidian's shadow. Fires raged, buildings crumbled, and chaos reigned. His plan had shifted from manipulation to total destruction.
Mikey and Jin stood atop a collapsed highway, battered but determined.
Mikey's Phantom Tempest glowed brighter than ever, fists crackling with explosive energy.
Jin's Wrath Mode hummed in his veins, controlled but ready to erupt.
They knew Obsidian had become a true terror, combining strategy, power, and lethal precision.
Obsidian's Full Power
Shadow Step now seemed instantaneous, allowing him to attack from multiple points at once.
Phantom Clones were nearly perfect duplicates, each moving independently and striking with deadly precision.
Void Flow had evolved: he could now redirect multiple attacks at once, even turning Mikey and Jin's own powers against them.
His Bonebreaker Strikes were enhanced with speed and unpredictability, capable of shattering defenses in seconds.
Obsidian's presence radiated danger:"Endurance, skill, emotion… none of it will save you. Welcome to the endgame."
Battle Begins
Mikey and Jin fought in perfect coordination, combining Phantom Tempest and Pure Taekwondo in synchronized attacks.
Obsidian adapted rapidly, forcing them to improvise continuously, each strike countered, each opening exploited.
Civilians were in peril, and the heroes had to balance offense, defense, and rescue simultaneously.
Turning Point
Mikey unleashed Phantom Upperstorm, hitting multiple clones and creating a momentary opening.
Jin used Mirror Flow + Copy skill, perfectly replicating Obsidian's previous attack patterns to anticipate his next move.
The two together finally cornered Obsidian, but he smiled, unfazed, revealing his ultimate technique: Obsidian Eclipse, a devastating combination of speed, power, and psychological manipulation.
Cliffhanger Ending
Just as Obsidian's attack was about to hit, Mikey pushed Phantom Tempest to its extreme, unlocking a new layer of power previously untapped.
Jin prepared to release Wrath Mode fully, risking total exhaustion but ready to counter Obsidian's Eclipse.
The chapter ends with:
Mikey and Jin charging together, aura flaring, fists and kicks ready.
Obsidian smirking, shadows swirling, fully aware that this clash would determine the fate of the city.
A massive collision of power imminent.
