The Trembling Den
At the cliff of Bernetter's shattered den shook, Elvein, Aseri, and Roven observed the far away battlefield cautiously, pretending to march toward the sleeping Shammroy group—Querion, Ferin, and Kaizer—who were completely drained of energy.
But then―
The cave trembled violently, forcing the Terion group to stabilize themselves.
Suddenly, a light caught their attention. Their eyes widened as they saw two spiraling auras—Bernetter and the Valkerio elite warrior leader—clashing with a crimson intensity that shook the ground itself.
Aseri fear-stricken,
" What is going on ?…"
Moments later, another aura appeared—overwhelming both powers. A dark, demonic purple-black force spiraled like a storming hurricane, shaking the air itself, yet leaving the ground untouched.
Roven astonished,
" Whose aura could that be? It doesn't shake anything, yet… it's terrifying."
Elvein worried,
" Then? What could happen to Terion?"
Without hesitation, the Terion group abandoned the Shammroy group in the almost collapsed den and rushed toward the battlefield.
Terion's Struggle
Behind the battlefield, Terion gripped his bloodied sword, legs trembling, coughing up blood, slowly arises and witness a storming demonic aura .
Terion broken, gasping,
" What is this..."
Before him, the auras spiraled faster, stronger than before. Terion's feet lifted as if it was swallowing him with the sheer force as a tornado . He planted his sword into the ground, holding on tightly to resist being drawn in.
Shamm roy's Arrival
On the battlefield, Shamm roy, with his black-gold eyes, released Bernetter's hand and the elite leader's weapon, leaving them to stagger back. The demonic dark purple-black aura around him calmed, settling with quiet authority.
Shammroy , grinning, cold,
" BAAKA."
Elite Leader in awe,
" Who is he? This much power… it makes every soul to be silence or even gods!"
Bernetter lost, panicked,
" Ho-how… could he have this much energy even after I drained all of his energy?"
Shammroy casual, cold,
" Oye! Listening to your story, one of my heart feels pity… the rest doesn't. Cause they were a Cold-blooded stone hearts…
(with a killer tone)
And telling me to slaughter you."
Elite Leader defensive,
" Whoa! Who are you? Why are you interfering in our way? This is our village, and our fight!"
Shammroy cold side-eye,
" I told you before—this fight exists because I allow it. Don't force me to interfere with you all guys."
Bernetter icy,
" If you intend to slaughter me, then… no more talk. Only—"
In an instant, both Bernetter and Shammroy vanished, appearing mid-battle. Fists and kicks clashed, turning the battlefield into a storm of dark purple-black and green demonic aura. Every strike carried overwhelming force ,releasing their sheer brute auras, and the elite leader remained motionless, feared , respected Shammroy's warning.
The Clash of Titans
Bernetter moved like flowing water, dodging Shammroy's relentless strikes. When he countered with a kick, Shammroy skidded back, calm but acknowledging:
Shammroy focused,
" Seems like I need to battle with my own energy."
The duel escalated—air, land, and mid-air became their arena. Their auras clashed, shaking the battlefield and scattering debris. Each strike tested the limits of human and superhuman endurance.
Bernetter's body trembled under the overwhelming power inside him and got to the one kneel. Shammroy stood tall, eyes piercing with authority,
Shammroy cold, commanding,
" Though you have my energy and power, but you cannot wield it… I am the sole authority over my power—or any power."
The Fivefold Nightmare
Refusing to yield, Bernetter forced his body forward. One leg moved, and he screamed in terror and pain. His eyes blacked out, no longer human. The powers he absorbed—from Querion, Ferin, Kaizer, Shammroy, and Terion—now controlled him.
From Bernetter's body, five twisted bone-like tentacles emerged, radiating five distinct auras. The battlefield trembled. Shammroy stood silent, observing, while the Valkerio elite warriors watched in horror.
Elite Leader sorrowful,
" What is happening to you, dear Gerian?"
Bernetter surged forward, striking with a tentacle. Shammroy dodged, reacting at superhuman speed. Two tentacles were blocked by his hands, two more by powerful kicks, but the final tentacle grabbed his face and slammed him into the ground.
Bernetter's hands bones, now became a fully twisted tentacles from his body, shook as he stepped forward, blacked-out eyes devoid of reality. He threw shamm roy by grabbing his leg. Shammroy, who coughed blood but rose slowly. Shammroy's eyes shifted to pale gold as he disappeared and reappeared instantly, striking Bernetter from the front by luring him on his left and with overwhelming force—the same technique once used in the Orian Kingdom.
The tentacles shattered around Bernetter, his aura spiraling like a raging wind. Shammroy stepped forward with absolute authority, crushing Bernetter into the ground. The earth shattered under the force.
Shammroy cold, ominous,
" Remember who ends you."
(grinning)
" Keyokthai Shammroy, the leader of Dumb team."
The elite warriors whispered among themselves, stunned, shocked.
The Final Strike
Within a split second, Shammroy drew his katana. With a single, precise strike, the blade
passed through Bernetter cutting his side flesh and head. His presence vanished as the battlefield fell silent, the storm of auras dissipating.
