The black sphere in Kale's hand grew larger and larger, pulsing with an ominous energy with its dark color even in the middle of the dark mist. In a matter of seconds, it expanded to the size of his palm, radiating a darkness so dense it seed to swallow the dim light of the battlefield.
Erend's sharp Dragon eyes, now burning with crimson fire, pierced through the mist that had already dissipating because its burned by his power. He could see the sphere clearly — and with it, the imminent danger to him.
A primal instinct scread in his mind.
"This is bad. Whatever that thing is, I can't allowed that to finish."
Without hesitation, Erend charged forward with combining his powers of fire and lightning in an explosive surge. With a single flap of his massive wings, he propelled himself like a cot, leaving a blazing trail of crackling red lightning and flas in his wake. The force of his movent sent shockwaves rippling across the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Erend appeared in front of Kale, his massive Dragon fist crackling with energy as it descended upon him.
BOOM!
The impact was devastating. Kale barely had ti to react before the blow connected with his whole body. The force sent him hurtling backward, his body spinning violently as he smashed through several jagged rock formations that each one crumbling under the sheer power of the strike.
Kale's black sphere dissipated instantly, the void energy scattering into harmless wisps as he crashed into the ground with a deafening impact, leaving a crater in his wake.
Erend hovered in the air, his wings outstretched, the glow of his fiery aura illuminating the battlefield. His deep, guttural growl echoed across the molten terrain, his crimson eyes locked on Kale's motionless form.
But he didn't relax. He knew better.
As the dust began to settle, a sinister chuckle broke the tense silence. From the rubble, Kale rose slowly, his dark mist swirling around him once more. His lips curled into a predatory grin, his body battered but far from defeated.
"Impressive," Kale said, his voice dripping with venom. "But you're not the only one who gets stronger when pushed."
Kale raised his arms, and the shadows around him surged like a tidal wave, coalescing into jagged tendrils that lashed out at Erend just like before.
Erend braced himself, his fiery shield flaring to life as the battle escalated to even more devastating heights.
The battlefield groaned under the weight of their clash, the forces of fire, lightning, and void colliding in a maelstrom of destruction once more.
When Kale staggered slightly, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth after a sudden cough. The wound from Erend's devastating strike was visible now — jagged gashes marred his body, dark energy flickering unevenly around him. But Kale didn't falter. He wiped the blood away with a smirk and keep sending his dark tendrils at Erend.
"You'll have to do better than that!" he growled just to showing his defiance where his body is actually start weakening. His hands surged with void energy as he channeled more power into his battered body.
The black mist around him thickened again, swirling chaotically as he raised his hand. This ti, the black sphere reappeared and forming faster with an even more nacing intensity. The dark energy pulsed, growing in size within seconds until it radiated an overwhelming pressure.
Erend, seeing the sphere take shape once more, wasted no ti. His chest expanded, glowing brighter as his power surged to its peak. With a deafening roar, he opened his mouth and unleashed a devastating combination of fire and lightning. The twin elents fused into a massive pillar of burning red energy and roaring through the battlefield at Kale.
The fiery-red pillar scorched the air as it raced toward Kale, its sheer intensity making the ground and air vibrating.
Kale thrust his black sphere forward with a sharp motion, the void energy swirling as it collided with Erend's attack. The impact sent shockwaves, forcing both combatants to brace themselves against the force.
For a tense mont, the two attacks held each other at bay, neither side giving an inch. The ground between them cracked and lted, the conflicting energies creating an unbearable heat and pressure.
Erend's crimson eyes narrowed as he watched the black sphere begin to absorb his attack. The pillar of fire and lightning twisted and spiraled, drawn into the void energy's pull.
"He's absorbing it?!" Erend thought, his mind racing as he poured more energy into his attack, the fiery pillar blazing brighter in response. But the sphere continued to grow, its pull relentless, devouring his power inch by inch.
Kale's grin widened, his confidence returning despite the blood still trickling from his lips.
The black sphere swelled further, now pulsing with streaks of crimson and sparks of lightning from Erend's attack. The battlefield trembled under the intensity of their struggle.
The swirling chaos of power raged on as Kale's black sphere continued to consu the fiery pillar of Erend's attack. But despite its appearance, the sphere wasn't absorbing the attack naturally — Kale was pouring his own Magic energy into it, forcing it to maintain its pull.
This was a desperate gamble. His power wasn't fully absorbed from the skeleton, and the strain on his body was imnse. Sweat dripped down his face and soon dissapear as his breaths ca in ragged gasps, each more labored than the last.
Suddenly, Kale coughed violently, blood spurting from his mouth in alarming amounts. He stumbled, his form flickering as the dark mist around him wavered. Yet, he refused to relent, forcing the black hole to hold steady.
Erend watched closely, his crimson eyes narrowing as he noticed the cracks forming in Kale's control. He could see the toll it was taking on his opponent, the raw desperation driving Kale to maintain his facade of strength.
Then, with a deep growl, Erend made a decisive move. He stopped his attack, cutting off the torrent of fire and lightning. The blazing pillar vanished, leaving the battlefield in a sudden and eerie silence.
Kale blinked in surprise, his black sphere now unopposed. He hesitated, realizing the strain was no longer sustainable. Gritting his teeth, he clenched his fist and the black hole collapsed inward, dissipating into harmless shadows.
For a mont, the two of them stood still, the battlefield between them glowing faintly from the molten earth left by their clash. Kale's form trembled slightly as he straightened himself and he wipe the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. His smirk had faded, replaced by a grim expression.
Erend hovered above the ground, his wings crackling with residual energy. His fiery aura burned brighter, his anger was getting bigger. His crimson eyes locked onto Kale.
Kale's gaze t Erend's, his body weakened but his resolve unbroken. He could feel the weight of Erend's rage, a pressure that seed to grow with every passing second.
The silence between them was definitely a tense mont of unspoken challenge. Both knew the fight was not over, but they didn't know how far the other still get.
Kale was weakening, and Erend was only growing angrier with corruption consuming him.
