Chapter 180 - The Past: Part 19

The two fight have been concluded as the victors of those fight were Freddy, Tommy and Melissa. But as for Tommy's new profound power which is Furry Mode was having an effect on him. Vomiting blood and bleeding from the eyes and nose as this was so powerful to wield at the moment for Tommy, Freddy was just stunned on the Tommy's level that he just displayed in that fight. Luna vanishes and heads back to Kagetsu to back him up even though she badly injured.

"Hey bro she's gone", said Freddy.

"Aaahh I know where she went…", said Tommy.

"You know?", said Freddy.

"Yeahh back to Kagetsu to help him", said Tommy.

As for Melissa she tends to heal other soldier and finishing them to head straight to Harry so that she can back him up. Same to Freddy and Tommy.

At the fight between Harry and Kagetsu was about to start in no seconds of breath as winds and the surrounding between the two shift even further like the aura between them fight without even moving. The aura in that chamber was shifting by each blows the release from there fists, Harry breaths heavily "your not going take over anything ur plans ends here, Kagetsu", said Harry.

"No talk, let's see action within and the strength you got to stop me", said Kagetsu.

Harry's stamina was depleting each minute he does to block and attack. Meanwhile outside the chamber the two brothers, Tommy and Freddy were already rushing towards the chamber as for Melissa, she happened to bump to her sons.

"Hey my babies why in rush", said Melissa.

"We gotta help dad", said Freddy.

"Yup I know that but remember to get in fear within those chamber", said Melissa.

"Cause Kagetsu's aura is oozing out from here that aura is fear and anger", said Melissa.

"Thanks mom, I will keep it in mind, Freddy let's get going", said Tommy.

"Yeah", said Freddy.

"Love you mom", said Tommy.

"Love you more, my sons", said Melissa.

The brothers head towards the chamber to help there father.

The fight was not even yet at the peak at the moment, as both of them were depleted with stamina faster as usual.

"Your wondering why you feeling drained cause of this chamber", said Kagetsu.

Harry gives a uncertain look.

"This chamber sucks the mana that is the most powerful and gives straight to the person who has the most dark aura", said Kagetsu.

But Harry doesn't show any fear to it cause he knew the chamber sucks the mana of who is in fear the most. So he increases the power that he's left with, exerting himself to the highest level of the Tenom family. In quick not Harry is the second person of the Tenom family to exert the power of rage to the depth of it beyond.

The chamber was less a battleground and more a vault of the forgotten. Its ancient stone walls, carved with geometric patterns, didn't just contain energy; they drank it. This was the legendary Aetherium Nexus, a place designed millennia ago to neutralize the raw forces of creation. Harry gasped, the attempt to ignite his Aura of Just Rage mode and going beyond to tap in more to the power.

"Frustrated, hero?" Kagetsu's voice echoed, thick with a cruel satisfaction that the Nexus made their struggle equal parts test of power and pure, physical endurance. His own Malice, the signature violet-black shroud, was likewise contained, pressing close to his skin like a heavy cloak instead of expanding into a world-devouring shadow. "This chamber strips away the noise," Kagetsu grinned, hefting his massive, serrated cleaver. "It forces us to feel every swing, every beat of the heart. Now, let's see if your noble rage is more than just a cheap parlor trick!".

Kagetsu lunged. Without the explosive kinetic force he usually commanded, his attack was surprisingly clean—a devastating, focused physical strike driven by years of brutal training. Harry blocked, the metal on metal a deafening clang in the enclosed space. The impact still shuddered up Harry's arms, but the paralyzing force of Kagetsu's full-power Malice shockwave was absent.

This is a fight of wills, Harry realized, gritting his teeth. Not just power. He channeled his Rage powers inward. It was a cold, sharp blade of conviction, refusing to be dimmed by the chamber's laws. He used the limited energy not for a blast, but for speed, moving his feet with unnatural agility, darting beneath Kagetsu's next wild swipe. Harry's eyes were glowing red but with different shades colour this time.

He's relying on muscle. Harry knew his only chance was to pierce the villain's defenses where his suppressed power couldn't cover him. Harry struck fast, driving his fists at a gap in Kagetsu's armor. It was a perfect, low thrust, fueled by the distilled rage of refusal. The point found purchase, sinking deep into the villain's side.

Kagetsu roared, not just in pain, but in sheer disbelief that he could be physically wounded by a mere man, even a rage-wielder. The violet-black energy around him flared, momentarily overriding the chamber's suppression as a wave of excruciating agony and pure hate—his Malice—backlashed, sending Harry staggering back. "No... NO!" Kagetsu howled, dropping to one knee as the blood began to pool rapidly. "I am stronger than this... I am absolute!".

His face contorted, not in fear of death, but in absolute, incandescent Anger at his own weakness. He pushed his hands against the floor of the Aetherium Nexus, the effort causing the carved stones to groan and crack.

A pulse of energy, impossibly black and ancient, erupted from the wound Harry had inflicted, not stopping the bleed, but channeling an unspeakable force. The very patterns carved into the stone walls—the anchors that drained their power—began to glow bright gold, struggling against the foreign incursion. The air grew not just cold, but corrosive, the oppressive silence replaced by a deep, resonant hum. Harry's were drained but his eyes has was described earlier were different they weren't red but crimson red he is second best person in the Tenom family to ever enter that state as last wielder of that power almost a centuries ago. This crimson red rage power had a bad downfall and that is to sacrifice his mana and blood that's the reason why it was a forbidden technique to the Tenom family. Harry was holding on strongly as Kagetsu had more to his sleeve, he created a creature an abyssal creature towering over him, a mad, victorious smile splitting his bloodied face. "Feast, my pet. Feast on the life, and the Aetherium Nexus itself!".

The colossal shadow, with its single, malevolent violet eye, descended with impossible speed. Harry scrambled to ignite his full Rage powers, but the oppressive air of the chamber, now fighting the new, devastating power, clamped down on his energy reserves like a steel vice.He was trapped between a victorious villain and a colossal, hungry abyss.

We made it", Freddy shouts at the entrance.

"DAD!!", Tommy shout to him.

"My sons help me out gotta end this madness of darkness", said Harry.

Harry and his sons were backed to corner of the dark that was surrounding them.

"Your going to pay", said Tommy with angry grin look.
