The corridors of the Cartenone Temple echoed endlessly with the clash of weapons, spells, and corrupted code. The team fought relentlessly, each wave of guardians more dangerous than the last. Shadows of Solo Crusher, lingering fragments of Infinte Compactor's influence, and twisted minions of the temple assaulted them from every direction.
Brush D. Rush dodged another compression strike, Miss Krita's guardians flickering and fading under the weight of the level-down curse. His body trembled from exhaustion, every move slowed, but his mind burned with determination.
"We can't keep doing this," Frostbinder shouted, ice barely forming in her trembling hands. "We're too weak… this curse will destroy us!"
Equinox's violet eyes narrowed. "We adapt, but even adaptation has limits. Brush… you need to lead us."
The endless battle stretched on. Every strike, every dodge, every spell — they fought, yet they barely made progress. The temple seemed alive, feeding on their fatigue, their despair.
And then — a spark.
Brush's vision blurred, the weight of the curse pressing down on him, but inside, a voice rang clear.
"Erase… what no longer serves you."
A surge of energy exploded from his chest. Miss Krita pulsed violently, colors shifting from soul-corruption fusion to a radiant white void. Brush felt the curse, the fatigue, the endless compression of the temple — all of it — begin to peel away.
His fist glowed, not with Creation or Destruction, but with pure nothingness. The air around him shivered. He had awakened something new: Erasure — a power that could undo existence itself, wiping corrupted code, loops, and shadows from the domain.
Solo Crusher's lingering shadows recoiled as if sensing the void. Infinte Compactor's distant presence shuddered in response, a warning echoing through the temple's corridors.
Brush raised his hand. "This… ends now!"
A sphere of white void expanded from him, consuming corrupted fragments, erasing lingering loops, and unraveling the traps that had tormented them. The walls of the Cartenone Temple flickered as if acknowledging the new balance — the power to erase, to reset the battlefield, but on his own terms.
Equinox leapt beside him, violet lances clashing with the remaining guardians. "Brush… this power… it can change everything!"
Frostbinder, RobbRox, FooTube, and the others felt their strength returning as the void washed over them. The level-down curse was weakening under the influence of Erasure, giving the team a chance to fight back for the first time in endless battles.
The temple trembled, guardians recoiling. The Cartenone Temple — once an unstoppable trial of fatigue, loops, and resets — was now facing a new force: the Erasure awakened in the Chosen One.
And in that moment, Brush knew: nothing in this domain, not even Infinte Compactor or the twisted loops of the temple, could hold him forever.
