BOOM!! BOOM!!
RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!!
The skies above Endless's ruined domain quaked as though the heavens themselves could not bear witness to the clash. Flashes of abyssal black collided against streams of silver-gold brilliance, rending the void apart and sewing it back together in the sa breath. Kaelen's blade, burning with radiant mana, carved arcs through the air, while Endless, cloaked in the fathomless abyss, countered each strike with overwhelming, soul-crushing power.
Kaelen's lungs heaved, each breath burning his chest, but he refused to falter. His body scread under the weight of the battle, yet his will refused to yield.
Suddenly, in the middle of his desperate exchange, Eternity's voice echoed within him, deep and calm, laced with disappointnt.
"Kaelen… when do you plan to stop playing at power?"
Kaelen gritted his teeth, deflecting another devastating slash from Endless's shadowed blade, the shockwave blasting through the skies.
"What the hell do you an? I've been using everything you've given just to keep from being crushed!"
"HAHAHAHA! Isn't this such a sight!? For you to have internal struggles now!!?"
Endless's mocking laughter filled the air as he pressed his attack harder, his strikes raining down like teors, each one strong enough to obliterate mountains. Kaelen staggered but stood firm.
Then ca Eternity's sigh, carrying centuries of burden and patience.
"No, boy. You've only been wielding my shell—the fragnts of power I let you touch. You have yet to awaken what it truly ans to be my Avatar. What you're doing now is survival… not transcendence."
Kaelen's eyes widened even as he barely parried another crushing blow. The realization clawed at him. He was still holding back—not out of choice, but out of ignorance.
Kaelen: "Then tell , dammit! How? How do I unlock it?!"
Endless sneered, clearly entertained by Kaelen's inner struggle. He flung a hand, unleashing a torrent of abyssal spears that threatened to shred Kaelen into pieces. Kaelen spun and slashed wildly, his blade deflecting most but grazing his side, blood spraying into the skies.
"Calm yourself. Close your eyes, even for a heartbeat, and listen. You don't need to grasp my power like a weapon. You need to let it beco you. Stop treating as sothing separate. We are not two beings sharing a body… we are one."
Through clenched teeth, Kaelen let his eyes slip shut—if only for a heartbeat. The world slowed. Endless's next strike drew closer, darkness crackling at its edge. Kaelen's breathing steadied as Eternity's words sank into his core.
And then… it happened.
CRACK!
BOOM!!
Kaelen's chest ignited—not with fla, but with a blinding, crystalline brilliance. His veins lit up with rivers of molten gold and blinding royal blue, surging outward. His heartbeat thundered like a war drum, syncing with sothing greater, sothing eternal.
When his eyes snapped open, they were no longer just his. They were the abyss of ti itself—galaxies swirling in one iris, endless void in the other. His blade shifted, reshaped by the convergence of Eternity's true essence, becoming an endless stream of light and shadow.
The next strike Endless had sent was t not with desperate parrying, but with a calm, absolute swing. Kaelen's blade didn't clash—it erased. The abyssal strike shattered into nothingness, scattering harmlessly into the void.
Endless's eyes, for the first ti, narrowed. The Eternal sneered, yet the weight of his voice betrayed recognition.
"So… you've finally decided on going all out?"
Kaelen exhaled, the brilliance around him steady, no longer wild. His aura fused with Eternity's, cascading outward, shaking the entire battlefield.
"No more pretending. No more half-asures. If you want to end everything, Endless—"
His blade humd, resonating with infinity itself.
"—then you'll have to destroy Eternity itself!"
"Oh really? Well then, let's see just how strong this Eternity is" Endless said with a gloomy grin in his face.
And an instance later, the battle erupted with new ferocity.
Their weapons clashed, but now it was no longer Endless dominating. The shockwaves rippled equally outward, black void and gold-blue brilliance eting head-on, creating ruptures in reality itself. Kaelen moved differently—less like a warrior straining to survive, more like an embodint of inevitability, a force carved into the fabric of existence.
Endless's strikes ca faster, harder, carrying with them the rage of an Eternal scorned. Yet Kaelen t them blow for blow, each strike pushing Endless back an inch further into stalemate.
A colossal clash split the skies, lightning and darkness intertwining like rival storms. The world below trembled—Labyrinth, Orc, Goblin, and even Eldorian warriors felt the air itself suffocating under the weight of two transcendental beings colliding above them.
But it was not over.
Both figures stood in the air, weapons locked, their faces inches apart. Endless's abyss pressed down like the end of days, Kaelen's brilliance surged like the dawn of creation.
Neither gave ground. Neither yielded.
And the heavens cracked as the stalemate continued—each mont drawing closer to catastrophe.
"Huh.... Hoo...."
At this point, the sky was already in ruins—fractured stars bled light across a torn firmant, the horizon curled inward like shattered glass. Yet now, as Kaelen drew his first true breath as the Avatar of Eternity, the heavens bent in reverence.
His blade glead with paradox—half radiance, half shadow, an endless cycle in motion. The hum of it was unbearable, resonating through all creation, a sound that felt like ti itself groaning under strain.
Kaelen shifted his stance. His body no longer fought against Eternity's tide; he moved with it, as though every muscle and thought had beco one with the current of forever.
Endless snarled, his abyssal wings now unfurling behind him like a cosmic storm. "So you finally bare your fangs… but power like that is a double-edged sword. It consus even its wielder."
Kaelen didn't answer. He swung his blade downward.
The strike wasn't just light—it was a fracture. Reality itself split open where the blade cut, unraveling a line of sky and stitching it shut again in the sa breath. A golden-blue shockwave tore through the air, slamming into Endless with crushing force.
For the first ti since the battle began, Endless was driven back.
The Eternal's boots skidded across empty air as Kaelen pressed forward, a flurry of strikes exploding outward—each swing of his sword birthing crescents of eternity's radiance that carved into Endless's abyss. The sky shuddered, streaks of day and night clashing wildly as though the world itself couldn't decide what hour it was.
BOOM!! BOOM!!
RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!
Endless's teeth bared in a wicked grin. "Yes… YES! Show this so-called eternity!"
His aura surged. The abyss writhed outward, not just as shadow, but as an invasive sickness that spread into the air, the earth, even into the laws of nature itself. Colors bled wrong—rivers of fire ran upward into the sky, gravity tilted sideways, light bent into blackness.
The clash escalated to madness.
Kaelen unleashed Eternity's next test: a thrust that seed impossibly simple but carried weight beyond worlds. The blow ignored distance, ignoring even cause and effect—it simply was. Endless raised his blade to counter, but the strike still pierced his defenses, cutting through his aura and forcing him to recoil with a growl.
"Impossible…" Endless hissed, black ichor leaking from the cut across his chest.
Kaelen's voice, calm and resonant with Eternity's timbre, cut through the chaos:
"Nothing is impossible. Not while eternity exists."
Endless roared in defiance. He threw his arms wide, his abyss erupting in full force. He didn't just fight Kaelen—he sought to overwrite him. The sky turned into an ocean of black fla. The ground below scread as mountains inverted, valleys rose, and rivers boiled into the air. Even the sun dimd, caught in the Eternal's grasp, threatening to collapse into a dark star.
Kaelen answered in kind. His aura surged brighter, splitting into countless streams of infinite possibilities. Every swing of his blade was a law rewritten—gravity restored in one slash, the sky repaired in another, the inverted sun forced back into orbit with a single upward strike.
The battlefield itself beca a paradox.
Darkness and radiance carved the world into halves: one side ruled by Endless's abyss, where ti halted and all things withered; the other blazing with Eternity's light, where ti surged forward in unstoppable montum. Birds flew and fossilized in the sa breath. Rivers ran and evaporated. A flower blood and died in an instant before blooming again.
And at the center of it all, Kaelen and Endless clashed, rewriting existence with every blow.
Kaelen tested his power further—he let his blade sweep in a wide arc, and suddenly dozens of versions of himself stepped forward, echoes across ti, each one delivering the sa strike together. Endless snarled, collapsing the clones with a surge of abyssal might, but the impact drove him back yet again, his endless dominance faltering.
But the Eternal refused to yield. His laughter rang across the broken skies.
"So this is your eternity? A light that refuses to dim? Then let show you why abyss devours all things—including ti itself!"
He thrust his hand forward, and the abyss consud causality. Kaelen's next strike never happened—it was erased from reality before it even began. For a heartbeat, Endless pressed his advantage, swinging his own blade with force that could sever dinsions.
Kaelen staggered, but only for an instant. Eternity's voice guided him right at that mont:
"Do not fight to preserve what was… fight to embody what always will be."
Understanding surged. Kaelen let his sword blaze brighter than before. He didn't resist the abyss's erasure—he allowed his existence to flow past it, an inevitability no void could consu. His strike reappeared, impossibly, colliding with Endless's own in a cataclysm that shattered the sound of creation.
BOOM!!!!!
The explosion rewrote everything.
For miles upon miles, reality disassembled. The battlefield was no longer sky or earth—it was raw law, collapsing and rebuilding with each clash. Flas froze. Shadows burned. Lightning sang like a hymn. Ti staggered, repeating seconds before snapping forward in chaotic leaps.
Kaelen and Endless stood locked at the heart of it, neither backing down, their duel no longer bound by the rules of existence.
And still, Kaelen pressed forward. He had found the rhythm of Eternity. Each clash pushed Endless further back, each strike forced him to acknowledge what he refused to admit.
For the first ti, Endless's grin faltered. His abyss howled louder, darker, more desperate.
The Eternal was being pushed back.
