The battlefield was in ruins. The clash between Bolt and Kairos had turned the once-dense forest into a wasteland of scorched earth, jagged rocks, and frozen craters.
Both warriors stood panting, their bodies battered but their spirits burning brighter than ever.
Kairos wiped blood from his lips and grinned. "You've come a long way, Bolt. But you're still not strong enough to beat me."
Bolt clenched his fists. Electricity crackled around him, but now it wasn't just lightning—wind swirled at his feet, ice shimmered on his arms, and the very earth trembled beneath him.
"I'm not the same fighter you faced before," Bolt said, his eyes glowing with elemental energy. "And I'm done holding back."
Kairos' grin widened. "Then let's see what you've really got."
WHOOSH!
The two warriors vanished in an instant, reappearing mid-air as their fists collided—
BOOOOOOM!
The sky itself split apart from the impact, sending a shockwave that flattened what little remained of the battlefield.
Bolt spun mid-air, his body surging with wind, using it to increase his speed beyond what Kairos could react to.
CRACK!
His lightning-coated fist slammed into Kairos' ribs, sending the fire-wielder crashing into the ground with enough force to create a crater.
Kairos barely had time to breathe before Bolt followed up.
He lifted both hands, summoning massive spikes of ice that rained down like frozen meteors—
"Frostfall Barrage!"
Kairos' black flames surged, melting the ice instantly—
But the moment the steam rose—
Bolt was already there.
"Hurricane Crash!"
A tornado of wind and lightning erupted from his palms, launching Kairos into the sky!
Kairos, disoriented, gritted his teeth.
"I won't lose to you!"
His shadow-infused flames twisted violently, forming into a massive black dragon.
Bolt's eyes narrowed. "Then I'll take you down head-on!"
He spread his arms wide, earth rising beneath him as lightning, water, ice, and wind swirled together in a massive storm.
The air trembled—
The sky darkened—
And then—
BOOOOOM!
Both warriors unleashed their ultimate attacks, their powers colliding in an explosion of elemental chaos—
The battlefield was consumed.
The world shook.
And when the dust settled—
Only one fighter remained standing.
