Chapter 63 - CHAPTER 55 — DEVOURING THUNDER CORE

BAM!!!

BAM!!!

BAM!!!

Our fists collided again and again—

no rhythm, no pause—just raw destruction.

Each strike sent shockwaves tearing through the battlefield.

---

BOOOOM!!!!!

My fist met his—

Azure lightning crashing against abyssal flame—

Power grinding against power.

My teeth clenched.

My muscles screamed.

But I didn't stop.

---

BOOM!!!

I released a compressed air blast at point-blank range.

He was pushed back—

skidding through the air—

Not enough.

---

BAM!!!!

I closed the distance instantly and threw another punch—

—but he redirected it like it was nothing.

---

His counter came fast—

UPPERCUT—

I twisted just in time.

Barely.

---

A roundhouse kick—

Blocked.

Caught.

---

His other hand—

glowing red—

condensing power—

Danger.

---

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The blast tore through where I stood.

I vanished.

---

SWISH!!!

I reappeared behind him—

my fist pulled back—

veins glowing blue beneath my skin—

my body already struggling to contain the power.

---

BAM!!!!!

I landed it.

A clean hit.

Back of the head.

---

He shot downward—

breaking the sound barrier—

the air screaming as he fell.

---

CRACK!!!!!

Pain exploded through my arm.

My hand—

tore open.

Flesh split.

Bone exposed.

---

Azure flames surged immediately—

forcing it back together—

barely holding me intact.

---

Danger.

---

Too late.

---

BOOOOM!!!!!

A sphere of abyssal energy detonated against me—

and then—

his fist—

---

BAM!!!!!

Everything went white.

---

I was sent flying—

no control—

no balance—

just force.

---

And he was already chasing me.

---

BAM!!!

BAM!!!

BAM!!!

Each hit felt heavier than the last.

Like my body was being crushed into nothing.

---

I couldn't keep up.

---

So—

I exploded.

---

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Energy burst from me in all directions—

a desperate counter—

forcing space itself to recoil.

---

He was thrown upward.

Burn marks across his body.

---

Me—

I fell.

---

Straight down.

---

My body—

barely holding together.

Burning.

Breaking.

But healing.

Slowly.

Too slowly.

---

Then—

Danger!!!

---

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

A pillar of energy slammed into me mid-fall—

driving me straight into the ground.

---

Impact.

---

Everything collapsed.

---

Silence.

---

I couldn't move.

---

Smoke filled the air—

thick—

burning—

crackling with red lightning.

---

I was at the center.

Broken.

---

Azure flames flickered weakly around me.

Trying.

Struggling.

Failing.

---

"Cough…!"

Blood filled my mouth.

I forced my body to move.

Every inch felt like it was being torn apart.

---

But I stood.

---

Barely.

---

Above me—

BOOM!!!

He descended.

Slow.

Untouched.

---

"What's the matter?"

His voice echoed.

"Already done?"

---

I didn't answer.

---

Instead—

I raised my hands.

---

Two fingers.

Opposite directions.

---

Lightning gathered in one.

Condensed energy in the other.

---

Unstable.

Violent.

---

I forced them together.

---

CRRRRACK!!!!!

Space twisted.

---

A sphere formed between my palms.

Compressed beyond what I could handle.

Barely contained.

---

My arms trembled.

Blood ran down my fingers.

---

This would either kill him—

or kill me.

---

"All… or nothing."

---

My body flickered—

dropping out of my primal form.

I didn't have enough energy left.

---

But I didn't stop.

---

"Devouring… Thunder Core."

---

ROOOOOOOAR!!!!!

---

I pushed everything I had into it—

and released it.

---

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The sphere tore through space—

fast—

hungry—

unstoppable.

---

He didn't move.

---

He raised one finger.

---

Calm.

---

Crimson energy gathered—

sharp—

focused—

Then—

He fired.

---

A thin beam—

pierced forward—

Straight through my attack.

---

For a second—

I thought it was over.

---

Then—

it changed.

---

My attack didn't collapse.

---

It devoured.

---

Azure flames surged—

absorbing his power—

growing stronger.

---

His eyes sharpened.

---

"…So that's your move."

---

He stopped his attack.

---

Then—

he gathered everything.

---

Both hands pulled back.

Energy condensed to its limit.

---

"Crimson… Devour."

---

A sphere formed.

Red.

Black.

Burning.

---

He thrust it forward.

---

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

It collided with mine.

---

The backlash hit me first.

---

BAM!!!!!

My body broke apart—

I was thrown across the crater—

arms—

legs—

barely responding.

---

My flames flickered.

Weak.

Dying.

---

But my attack—

kept going.

---

It grew.

Louder.

Wilder.

---

Even he felt it.

---

I saw it.

---

That moment—

of danger.

---

SWISH!!!

A massive crimson blade appeared in his hand—

covered in abyssal flame.

---

He roared—

and struck.

---

BBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Everything disappeared.

---

Light.

Sound.

Space.

---

All gone.

---

Only destruction remained.

---

I couldn't feel my body anymore.

---

But I smiled.

---

I gave it everything…

---

Then—

darkness.

---

The last thing I saw—

was blue light.
