The massive fla collided with the being's attack, overpowering it instantly. The surge of heat slamd into the creature, hurling it backward and smashing it into the wall behind. The green orb nearly slipped from its grasp, but it managed to clutch it tightly even as its body crashed hard onto the ground.
Riven didn't relent. The flas on his sword burned violently, crawling up his arms, scorching his skin. He poured even more mana into it, the orange glow expanding until both his hands were engulfed.
"You can't keep doing this, you're destroying yourself!" Twilight shouted in his mind, her voice trembling.
But he didn't stop.
He charged again, a roar tearing from his throat, so raw that blood splattered from his mouth. His blade ca down like a teor.
The being swung its hand, forming a wall of green fire to block the blow.
BOOM!
The collision erupted into a massive explosion, shockwaves shaking the entire chamber and throwing both of them apart.
Riven hit the ground, rolled, and sprang up in one motion, his eyes blazing with fury. He looked less like a man now and more like a beast, wild, relentless, unstoppable.
The being, realizing that Riven was no longer holding back, made a desperate choice.
It released the orb, letting it float before it, and then raised both hands toward the sky. Streams of green fla poured from the orb into its palms, gathering into a massive, blinding sphere. The temperature in the dungeon spiked violently, stone walls began to lt, dripping like wax under the oppressive heat.
The fireball grew, then compressed, then grew again, pulsing over and over like a living heart. Green and orange light flooded the entire chamber, the two powers clashing even before contact.
Riven didn't hesitate. He tightened his grip, and his own flas exploded outward. The Hellfire crawled up his body, coating his shoulders, arms, and chest in a raging inferno. His skin cracked, his muscles seared, but his determination didn't waver. His eyes burned like twin stars of wrath.
The being finished charging and hurled the gigantic fireball straight at him.
Riven stepped back once, braced his legs, and thrust his sword forward with every ounce of strength he had left.
The flas twisted, spiraling into a vortex of orange destruction as they t the green inferno head-on.
BOOOOOOOM!
The explosion swallowed everything. The floor quaked, the ceiling cracked, and the entire dungeon trembled as if the world itself was tearing apart.
Riven drove his sword into the ground, anchoring himself as the blast wave surged around him. He grit his teeth, flas whipping his skin raw, until finally—
Silence.
The inferno subsided.
When the smoke cleared, Riven was still standing. His clothes were little more than burnt rags, his body scorched and bleeding, but his eyes burned with undying resolve.
Across from him, the being staggered weakly, the green orb in its hand cracked and leaking unstable energy. It trembled, struggling to stay upright.
Riven began walking toward it, slowly, heavily, each step echoing across the scorched floor. The heat of his flas still radiated from his body like an aura of wrath.
The being backed away, panic rising. It could feel it, what stood before it wasn't human.
It was sothing far worse.
Sothing born of fla, blood, and sheer defiance.
Riven's gaze never wavered. He raised his blade, Hellfire still burning faintly along its edge.
It was ti to end it.
He walked up to the fallen undead, its flickering fla-eyes dimming, and stared into them coldly. Raising his sword, he prepared to end it once and for all, but before his blade ca down, skeletal hands shot out from the scorched ground beneath the creature, wrapping around its body and yanking it downward.
"—What?!"
Before Riven could react, the earth swallowed the undead whole.
With a snarl, he plunged his sword into the ground, trying to dig, to rip through the stone and drag it back out. But then—
BOOM!
The ground erupted in an explosion of dust and fla, sending Riven flying backward. He hit the ground hard, sliding across the charred floor before forcing himself up again.
Out of the smoke, another figure erged from the crater.
This one was different.
Its skeletal fra glowed faintly crimson, and where green fire once burned, now there was only red—deep, violent, and alive. In its bony hand was a red orb, swirling with flas like molten blood.
It looked straight at him. No words. No hesitation. Just killing intent.
Riven's teeth clenched. "Why?" he growled, his voice low, shaking. "Why won't you just give them back?"
His eyes widened with fury, his breathing rough and uneven. "Why won't you just hand them over?!"
The creature stepped forward, flas flickering brighter.
Riven's entire body trembled, not with fear, but with rage.
"I'm tired of this," he hissed. "I'm done!"
Then, shouting with all the pain and fury in his chest, he roared,
"I'm taking them back!"
Instantly, the air around him distorted, reality itself warping from the sheer force of his energy.
[The One Loved by Chaos has been activated.]
The system's voice echoed in his mind, a tone that usually spelled danger.
Riven's aura exploded outward in a violent surge, he activated the one loved by chaos. For the next sixty seconds, he would be untouchable. Unstoppable.
Even if this was his final battle, he would take it to the end.
He would save them, no matter what. It didn't matter what he had to do anymore, or how far he needed to go, he was going to rescue them. He lunged forward, roaring as he moved with teleport like speed, hig sword covered with the orange flas, he slashed and the undead created a fla wall to block the attack.
BoooM!
The collision was massive and caused the entire dungeon, Riven was pushed back, but he wasn't harder at all, he followed up with fla blast that was so powerful the fla wall could barely block the attack, it blasted through and threw the undead back into the wall, shattering it.
Riven shot at the whole imdiately, but before he could reach there, an extrely powerful fireball shot out and slamd right into his chest, throwing him back and into a wall, but he got right up completely unhard by it.
