Kael smiled wildly as he lashed out with a relentless barrage on Neraxis.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Buildings collapsed, concrete shattered, shockwaves rippled through the street. Neraxis blocked—arms raised—but each impact drove him deeper into the ruins.
Suddenly, Yarau surged forward, slamming Kael back.
Neraxis staggered. His knuckles—bloodied—peeled apart, flesh tearing and collapsing into useless pulp.
"This body is weak!"
Snarling, Neraxis formed rapid hand signs, veins bulging as he activated a forbidden art.
Narration:
Forbidden Overflow Technique — allows the user to bypass their body's natural limits, forcibly drawing out immense Vital Force at the cost of catastrophic physical damage.
Neraxis' knuckles ignited, burning brighter than before, flesh cracking as Vital Force overflowed violently.
He laughed—low, distorted, inhuman.
Kael calmly raised his hand. A massive black sphere formed, warping the air around it—dense, absolute, overflowing.
Without hesitation, he hurled it toward Yarau.
The Black Ball surged forward with endless energy.
Oh shi—
If he kills Yarau, the fight ends.
Neraxis screamed with everything he had—
"YARAU—DODGE!!!"
THUD—!!!
The Black Ball crashed straight into Yarau.
Smoke swallowed the battlefield.
Silence.
The smoke cleared.
Only Yarau's severed head remained—resting in Gorou's hands.
For a split second—
Yarau regenerated.
Flesh twisted, bones reformed, Vital Force surged—and his body was restored instantly.
Neraxis exhaled in relief.
Then—
Kael was already there.
Zzngh!
"Yellow Dash."
The blow landed clean.
Neraxis' consciousness snapped.
His body flew—slamming into a distant building, collapsing it entirely as he went limp.
Kael landed lightly, standing amid the ruins.
No heavy breathing.
No tension.
No hesitation.
He glanced once at Neraxis' unconscious body.
"Guess I win."
