Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: The Heart of the Clash

The cavern trembled under the weight of their power. Shadows and illusions twisted violently as Igron's Domain of Trickery and Deceit expanded, engulfing the battlefield. Chains coiled around him, appearing and vanishing like living serpents.

Veyrith, breathing heavily, crimson aura flaring in berserk intensity, dodged yet another phantom strike. His sword cut through illusions effortlessly, yet the sheer number of tricks pushed him to his limits.

"Igron!" Veyrith called out, voice echoing over the chaos. "Why are you doing this? You know I'm not your enemy!"

Igron's smirk flashed beneath the hood. "Freedom, Veyrith… I want my freedom! Every shadow, every phantom you cut through… it's part of a path I carve for myself! Hell won't bind me forever!"

Veyrith laughed, eyes blazing crimson. "And I? I don't fight for freedom, or strategy… I fight because the battle itself is alive, and I want to feel it! Every strike, every clash… it's pleasure! It's what it means to live, even here!"

Chains and illusions collided with Veyrith's blade, sparks scattering. "Then let's see whose will is stronger!" Igron snapped, summoning another wave of shadowy duplicates, some wielding chains, others swinging phantom blades.

Veyrith, with a berserk roar, leapt forward, slashing through illusion after illusion. "You think freedom is your goal… but every strike you throw tests me! And I love it!"

Igron's laugh was dark and echoing. "Good! Then show me your strength! Show me why I should respect the chaos you bring!"

The cavern shook violently, stones raining from above. Chains collided with the berserk sword strikes, each blow sending shockwaves that shattered the walls. Shadows and illusions twisted and writhed as the two titans clashed, a dance of skill, strategy, and raw instinct.

Yet amidst the chaos, Kairo's crimson aura flared far away. He moved unhindered, Bone Blade humming, chains coiling — the path to the Gravekeeper now open. The diversion was working perfectly.

The battle between Igron and Veyrith continued, deadly and unyielding, each strike a testament to their motives: one seeking freedom, the other seeking the pure thrill of battle. And the pit itself trembled beneath their clash.
