Leon and Ravina ascended Thunder Peaks, a towering mountain range constantly engulfed in raging storms. Thunder roared, and lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the jagged cliffs. The air was thick with static, making every breath feel charged with electricity.
Ravina looked up, narrowing her eyes. "The Storm Titan controls the very storms themselves. This fight won't be easy."
Leon smirked. "Good. I like a challenge."
As they reached the summit, the storm intensified. The clouds swirled violently, and from the heart of the tempest, a colossal figure erged.
A giant covered in crackling lightning armor stood before them. Electricity danced across its massive fra, its eyes glowing with an unnatural blue radiance. It wielded a thunder-forged spear, sparking with raw power.
"MORTALS… YOU DARE CHALLENGE ?" the Titan's voice bood, shaking the very mountains.
Leon stepped forward, Aether and Golden Magic surging around him. "Not just challenge you—defeat you."
The Storm Titan let out a thunderous roar, raising its spear. The clouds gathered, forming a massive lightning vortex, preparing to unleash devastation.
Leon grinned, his Destruction Magic flaring.
"Ti for Rain -No, Storm Dance"
The Storm Titan hurled its spear, and the mont it left its grip, it split into hundreds of lightning bolts, raining down at supersonic speed.
Leon's eyes glead.
"Aether Shift."
In a blink, he vanished, dodging every single bolt with ease, reappearing right in front of the Titan's chest.
"Blood Annihilation!"
A crimson slash, fused with Destruction Magic, tore through the Titan's armor—
—BOOOM!—
The Titan staggered, but in an instant, its wounds closed, the electricity restoring its form.
Ravina shouted from a distance. "Leon! The Titan's body is constantly regenerating as long as it's connected to the storm!"
Leon smirked. "Then I'll just cut off the storm."
Leon raised his hands, activating Golden Alchemy.
The very air around them shifted, and in an instant—
—the storm froze.
Clouds stopped moving. Lightning ceased flashing. The winds went still.
The Titan's eyes widened in confusion. "WHAT… IMPOSSIBLE!"
Leon chuckled. "Alchemy can change the very state of things. Now, let's see how you fight without your storm."
The Titan, now weakened, roared and charged forward, swinging its massive fist—
Leon caught it.
BOOOOM! The impact sent shockwaves rippling across the peak, but Leon did not move.
Instead, he grinned. "My turn."
"Aether Break."
With a single punch, infused with pure Destruction and Aether Magic, Leon shattered the Titan's arm.
The Titan howled in agony.
Leon didn't stop. He warped above the Titan, his sword glowing with golden and blood energy.
"Fate Ender!"
With a single, decisive slash, he cleaved through the Titan's chest, striking its core—
—CRACK!—
The Lightning Seal was exposed.
Leon reached out and ripped it from the Titan's body.
The Titan let out a final, pained roar before disintegrating into raw lightning energy, vanishing into the now-clear sky.
Leon held the Lightning Seal, feeling its imnse power rging with him. His magic surged, and lightning crackled through his veins, further refining his already monstrous abilities.
Ravina landed beside him. "That was… ridiculously fast."
Leon smirked. "They're strong, but I'm stronger."
"Anyway, only three seals are left," Ravina said. "The Blood Seal, the most important one. The Ti Seal, the most well-hidden one. And lastly, the Soul Seal, the most dangerous to obtain."
Leon nodded. "Let's go with the important one first—the Blood Seal."
Ravina shook her head. "The closest is actually the Ti Seal."
Leon sighed. "Of course, the most hidden one..."
They began walking toward the Tiless Maze, a chaotic dinsion where ti flowed erratically, creating anomalies everywhere. Inside this maze, the Ti Seal constantly shifted, appearing and disappearing in random locations.
Leon observed the distorted landscape. Fragnts of ti itself flickered around them—past events looping, echoes of battles long since fought, and monts frozen mid-air.
"How did you find it last ti?" Leon asked, activating his Ti Phasing skill, a power he had obtained after briefly holding the Ti Seal before it returned to its original location.
"I actually stumbled upon it," Ravina admitted.
Leon raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"
Ravina nodded. "I participated in the Blood Tournant 500 years ago—or, well, in the last cycle. The prince I was serving died, so I had to run away. While escaping, I accidentally entered the Tiless Maze and got lost. I wandered aimlessly for what felt like eternity."
She paused, then smirked. "Eventually, I tripped and fell right into the floating Ti Seal while trying to grab sothing to stabilize myself."
Leon blinked. "The fuck is that luck?"
Ravina shrugged. "Honestly? It might have been because of the Lucky Apple I ate on this island. At first, I thought it was just a normal apple, but it turned out to be a legendary artifact of fortune. It cost a fortune back then, but I managed to get a piece."
She smiled wryly. "Though, I sotis wonder if it was lucky or cursed. Ever since that day, I've been unbelievably lucky, but also strangely... unlucky at tis. Like how I needed soone capable of getting the Blood Ascension Pill, and sohow, I found you."
Leon smirked. "Then let's see if your luck holds up—because this ti, I'm taking that Ti Seal for good."
Though, I wonder if I can actually get it that easily… he thought to himself. She had to wander around for over 100 years before finally getting one… and even that was by accident.
He looked ahead at the Tiless Maze, its ever-shifting landscape warping unpredictably. "Ti Phasing" can help sowhat, but after that? I can't keep it active all the ti.
Damn it, no wonder this is the most well-hidden one. He inwardly cursed, then activated his Miracle Eyes. I wonder if my Miracle Eyes can help ?
As his Aether Magic surged through his body, his eyes took on a subtle golden sheen. The Tiless Maze in front of him shifted—what was once a chaotic, ever-changing labyrinth now had visible distortions.
Hm? What if I look even deeper?
Leon activated his Sage Eyes. Alongside the golden glow, a reddish hue appeared in his vision. Suddenly, everything beca clearer—he could see sothing hidden.
"Hmmm… these distortions… they seem connected sohow," he murmured, then hesitated. But what exactly am I seeing?
His eyes locked onto a strange cloud-like gas, lingering throughout the maze. It flickered in and out of existence, almost as if it was reacting to the flow of ti itself.
"Interesting… this might be the key to navigating the maze."
