The heavy physical fight between the two very powerful fighters had turned the center floor of the underground arena into a wild storm of moving golden sand and thick dust. Nishighi stood completely firm on the ground. His body was entirely unscratched, and he was completely unaffected by the violent throw he had just taken from his dark opponent. Across from him, the creature who had dropped the identity of the ice mage Bellghine and revealed himself as Golhmein stood watching with an evil focus. The clear, protective shield that Celdrich had built around the edges of the fighting pit hummed with a low, steady vibration. This shield safely contained the leftover magical forces that still crackled through the air. The small group of spectators who had disobeyed the orders to leave remained frozen in their stone seats high above, their eyes locked entirely on the two figures below. The air inside the closed dome was thick, hot, and heavy with the smell of crushed stone and dry earth. Neither fighter moved for a brief moment, their long shadows stretching out across the golden floor under the bright, artificial stadium lights hanging from the distant ceiling. Every single grain of sand on the arena floor seemed to vibrate with the leftover energy of their previous exchanges, and the silence that filled the massive room was heavy and absolute, broken only by the steady, deep breathing of the two warriors who stood facing each other in the center of the closed pit. The area inside the stadium had become completely cut off from the rest of the underground city, trapped inside the limits of the heavy magical shield. The golden sand under Nishighi's boots was messy and uneven, marked with deep tracks from the hard physical struggle that had happened over the past several minutes. Despite the extreme violence of being thrown hard against the ground just moments before, Nishighi showed no signs of tiredness or damage at all. His clothes were slightly covered in a thin layer of golden dust, but his skin remained completely perfect, without any bruises, cuts, or scrapes. He kept his eyes locked firmly on the dark figure in front of him, his body completely balanced and ready for any sudden movement. The bright lights overhead flickered a little bit, throwing long shadows across the wide combat floor, highlighting the sharp difference between the bright golden ground and the pure darkness coming from his opponent. The remaining viewers in the upper rows sat in quiet excitement, leaning over the cold stone railings to see every single detail of the fight, knowing that the match was quickly coming to its final end.
Without any warning at all, the body of the dark creature began to change in a completely sudden and scary way. Golhmein suddenly grew in size. The pitch-black, liquid-like material that made up his tall body began to ripple and stir violently, as if a huge burst of inside power was forcing the matter to push outward. The dark substance bubbled and swelled up, quickly increasing in size and height with every single second that passed. The shape of the creature stretched upward toward the high ceiling of the underground building, his arms and legs becoming thick like massive pillars of solid shadow, and his main body widening to a giant size. The golden sand under his growing feet was pushed away in big, heavy waves, moving and sliding across the arena floor under the huge weight of his growing body. The fast speed of his body change was amazing, turning him from a tall figure into a massive giant that completely took over the center of the fighting pit. The artificial stadium lights above threw his huge, dark shadow across all of the golden sand, completely covering Nishighi inside a deep, cold darkness that shut out the rest of the arena. His body continued to grow larger, as muscles of pure, moving black liquid tightened and became solid while his height reached a scary scale. The liquid-black substance of Golhmein's growing body bubbled just like boiling ink, rising higher and higher until he stood many times his original height. The physical size of his main body became incredibly wide, completely blocking the view of the far side of the stadium for anyone watching from the lower seats. His shoulders grew into wide, sharp shapes that seemed to move non-stop under the surface of his dark skin, while his arms became much longer, leaving his heavy hands hanging low toward the golden sand. Every single movement of his huge body made a clear, wet sloshing sound that echoed strangely through the quiet arena, showing the fluid yet solid nature of his newly grown form. The heavy weight of his giant body caused the sand under his massive feet to pack down tightly, creating deep holes in the arena floor as his presence grew heavier and more absolute. The darkness coming out from his body was so strong that it seemed to take in the regular light from the stadium lamps, creating a specific area of total shadow that stretched across the whole middle fighting zone, completely burying Nishighi under its massive, freezing shade. The tall creature now stood at a grand and scary height, his massive body nearly touching the upper limits of the clear magical shield that closed in the combat zone. The dark, liquid-like surface of his body seemed to take away the light from the stadium, creating a sharp and terrifying difference against the bright golden sand below. The pressure inside the closed dome went up a lot as his body size grew, causing the clear walls of Celdrich's shield to hum with a higher, louder sound. The remaining viewers in the upper stands looked down in total silence, completely shocked by the huge size of the monster that had replaced the ice mage. Golhmein's giant body showed a feeling of total physical power, his massive shoulders moving slowly as he looked down at the very tiny figure of Nishighi standing far below him in the shadow of his giant frame.
The giant dark creature did not waste a single moment before trying to bring a fast and brutal end to the fight using his massive new size. Standing at his giant height, he looked directly down at his opponent and tried to grab Nishighi. The massive black arms of the monster shot forward with incredible speed, his giant hands opening wide as they swept through the air like heavy iron gates. The movement was very fast for a creature of such huge size, cutting cleanly through the remaining clouds of dust and creating a loud, roaring sound of fast wind that filled the whole closed space of the shield. The long, liquid-black fingers stretched out across the golden sand, aiming to completely surround Nishighi's body and crush him inside a tight hold that he could not escape. The path of the giant hands was perfectly planned to leave no room for escape, closing in from both the left and right sides at the same time to pin the fighter to the ground. The viewers high above held their breath, watching the massive dark shadows close quickly around the still figure in the center of the pit. The pure wind pressure made by the sudden sweeping move of the giant arms caused the golden sand on the floor to fly outward in big lines, completely clearing the ground around Nishighi's feet as the massive black hands came down on him from above with scary intent. The fast speed of the giant arms created a strong pull that tugged at the loose dust on the arena floor, creating small swirling circles of sand that spun around the path of the attack. The dark, massive hands moved with one single purpose, their fingers bending inward like giant claws as they closed the distance between themselves and Nishighi's still body. The wind pressure pushed hard against Nishighi's clothes and hair, forcing them backward as the huge shadow of the hands completely blocked out his view of the stadium ceiling. Despite the scary size and huge speed of the oncoming attack, Nishighi did not show a single sign of panic, and he did not make any attempt to run or dodge away from the giant hands. Instead, he kept his perfectly balanced stance on the moving golden sand and prepared his defense. But Nishighi deflected it. The exact moment the massive black fingers reached his position to shut tightly around his body, Nishighi moved his arms with perfect accuracy and incredible physical power. He struck out against the giant hands, meeting the huge power of the grab with an equally strong counter-force. The physical contact between Nishighi's defense and the dark creature's massive limbs made a sharp, loud clapping sound that echoed violently against the clear walls of Celdrich's shield dome. The pure strength of Nishighi's deflection completely changed the path of the giant hands, forcing them to slide safely past his body. The massive black arms crashed heavily into the golden sand on both sides of his feet, sending giant clouds of dust and dirt flying high into the air, while Nishighi stayed standing perfectly safe and completely untouched in the narrow space between the monster's missed grab. The changed force of the giant strike shook the ground under them, causing deep lines to form in the sand where the massive hands had been forced to slide, yet Nishighi did not move his feet even an inch, completely focused on his defensive move. The neat accuracy of Nishighi's deflection was entirely perfect, showing a total skill in moving and changing the direction of physical force. As the giant dark hands closed in on him like a crushing trap, his arms moved in a swift, planned circle that struck the wrists of the massive creature at the exact moment it was most open to attack.
Having completely stopped the giant creature's try to trap him, Nishighi did not lose his attacking speed for even a split second. He immediately took a firm, purposeful step back onto the moving sand, steadying his weight and lowering his body position as he prepared to make a massive strike. The whole air inside the clear dome seemed to fall into a total, breathless silence for a single moment, with the wind dying down and the swirling dust pieces hanging still in the cold air. The focus in Nishighi's eyes was incredibly sharp as he gathered a huge amount of energy inside his form. Then, breaking the short quiet of the fighting pit with huge volume, rule, and power, he suddenly shouted, "Divine Light Magic Hybrid: Ten-Mana Fold Light Dawnbringer!!!" His voice was very clear, carrying through every single corner of the wide stadium and shaking through the thick stone parts of the upper seats. The words were spoken with total certainty and command, echoing loudly off the clear surface of Celdrich's shield as the announcement of his ultimate attack filled the arena. The simple force behind his spoken words seemed to shake through the floor of the stadium, drawing the full attention of every remaining person in the building to the middle spot where he stood prepared to let out his power. The tone of his voice was completely without any doubt or fear, carrying a sharp, clear quality that completely filled the massive open space of the underground building. Every single part of the complicated phrase was spoken with perfect clarity, cutting through the low, steady hum of Celdrich's shield magic and silencing the distant sound of the escaping crowd outside the doors. The words seemed to hang in the quiet air for a split second, their meaning clear and absolute as they signaled the release of a huge, concentrated power. The golden sand around Nishighi's boots began to ripple a little bit, responding to the large change in energy that went along with his sudden shout. The giant dark creature above him tensed as the echoing words filled the arena, marking the final change from a physical fight into a show of total magical force. The exact moment the final word of the attack left Nishighi's mouth, the conditions inside the fighting pit were changed completely and instantly. Suddenly a light gold beam appeared. The magical energy did not show up slowly or build up bit by bit; it burst into existence right in front of Nishighi with a bright, blinding flash that completely lit up the entire dark underground city. The beam was made of a pure, glowing light gold color that had an incredible level of brightness, completely cutting through the thick clouds of dust and breaking apart the deep shadows made by the giant creature. The pure brightness of the golden light was so huge that the remaining viewers in the high stands had to immediately cover their eyes from the sudden, overwhelming light that filled the room. The light gold beam shot forward in a perfectly straight, flat line, cutting through the cold air of the pit with unimaginable speed, its bright energy humming with a total and destructive power as it traveled across the short distance separating the two fighters. The golden light reflected clearly off the see-through surface of Celdrich's shield dome, turning the entire closed fighting pit into a bright cylinder of pure, glowing gold that completely chased away every single trace of darkness from the arena floor. The glowing golden energy formed a thick, solid cylinder of light that reached out directly from the space right in front of Nishighi's open hands, cutting through the air with a sharp, crackling sound. The pieces of dust hanging in the air were instantly burned away into nothing as the beam passed through them, leaving a perfectly clear, glowing path behind it. The light gold color was incredibly rich and pure, throwing reflections off the stone seats, the metal gates, and the high ceiling of the stadium. The path of the bright golden energy was completely perfect, leaving the giant target with absolutely no time or ability to move or defend himself. The massive, light gold beam shot across the golden sand and hits Golhmein. The physical and magical hit was instant and completely overwhelming. The pure, glowing golden energy struck the tall dark creature directly in the middle of his massive upper body, covering his entire black, liquid-like shape in a bright, shimmering sheet of intense light. A deep, shaking sound filled the entire stadium, a vibration that caused the clear walls of Celdrich's shield magic to hum loudly under the huge pressure of the spell. The light gold beam completely filled the dark body of the monster, the bright golden energy standing out sharply against the pitch-black color of Golhmein's giant body as it tore through his form. The remaining viewers watched in total wonder as the shimmering light completely wrapped around the tall figure, lighting up every single detail of his massive shape. The pure force of the golden beam pressed non-stop against the giant creature, the glowing energy twisting and pulsing around his large frame with an intense, humming sound that completely drowned out any other noise inside the massive underground stadium. The contact between the light gold beam and the black mass of Golhmein made a spectacular show of opposite elements. The pure, glowing golden light dug deeply into the moving, liquid-like substance of the giant's chest, growing quickly until the bright color began to show through the edges of his dark form. Golhmein's massive shape twisted and shook under the pure force of the hit, his giant arms waving around a little bit as the huge energy of the beam pinned him securely in place against the wall and he vanished completely into thin air, leaving nothing behind but the empty golden sand and the quiet air of the arena floor.
