The mont the armored beast lunged, the world seed to crack.
Its massive body surged forward with impossible force, shattering the street beneath it as its colossal claws slamd into the ground.
The watcher reacted instantly.
Its enormous wings snapped outward, sending a shockwave through the city that tore rooftops apart and hurled debris into the air.
The collision ca like thunder.
The armored beast crashed into the watcher mid-descent.
The impact exploded across the skyline.
Buildings nearest to them collapsed instantly under the force.
Elena was thrown backward, hitting the ground hard as dust and wind swallowed the street.
The guardian creature shielded her, crouching low as the storm of debris passed over them.
“Stay down!” he roared.
Above them, the two titans tore into each other.
The armored beast snapped its massive jaws upward, catching one of the watcher’s skeletal wings.
A deafening crack echoed as bone-like structures splintered under the pressure.
The watcher shrieked.
Its violet eyes flared with fury as it twisted its body midair, driving one of its elongated limbs downward like a spear.
The strike slamd into the armored shell.
A deep, tallic boom rang out across the city.
The beast staggered.
But the shell held.
Elena pushed herself up slightly, coughing through the dust.
“Oh my God...”
The guardian didn’t look away.
“That shell has survived things older than this world,” he said.
“But even it has limits.”
The watcher rose higher again, pulling its damaged wing free.
Dark strands of energy leaked from the fracture, dissolving into the air like smoke.
It did not bleed.
It unraveled.
Its voice returned, cold and echoing inside Elena’s mind.
Earth-bound relic... you interfere.
The armored beast roared in response.
A sound of defiance.
Ancient.
Unyielding.
It charged again.
This ti faster.
Its massive body slamd into the watcher’s lower form, driving the airborne creature into a nearby skyscraper.
The building collapsed instantly as both titans crashed through it in an explosion of concrete and steel.
The ground shook violently.
Elena could barely keep her balance.
“They’re destroying everything!” she shouted.
The guardian turned to her sharply.
“That’s not the real danger!”
Her chest burned again.
Stronger this ti.
She gasped.
The scar flared beneath her skin.
The crooked eye symbol began glowing faintly again.
“Elena...” the guardian said quietly.
“They’re not just fighting each other.”
She looked at him in fear.
“Then what are they doing?”
He answered grimly.
“They’re pushing you.”
Above them, the watcher burst free from the collapsing skyscraper, rising into the sky once more.
The armored beast followed, climbing over the rubble with unstoppable force.
The watcher’s voice echoed again.
The door weakens.
Elena clutched her chest.
“No... it’s not...”
But she could feel it.
The pressure.
The thing behind the door pushing harder now.
The battle wasn’t random.
It was deliberate.
Every удар.
Every shockwave.
Every mont of chaos...
Was forcing her to lose control.
The guardian realized it at the sa ti.
“It’s using the fight to break you!”
The watcher hovered high above, its violet gaze locked onto Elena again.
Open...
The word slithered through her mind.
The mark burned hotter.
Cracks of black light spread across her skin.
The armored beast roared again and leapt upward, slamming into the watcher midair.
But this ti—
It was too late.
Elena scread as the pressure inside her chest surged violently.
The door trembled.
And for the first ti since she had closed it...
It began to open again.
