A deafening boom echoed across the forest, followed by a brilliant arc of lightning splitting the sky above. The sh between Erend and Kale had begun, the sh of their power reverberating through the trees like the herald of an unstoppable storm and darkness.


    On the other side of the forest, ar in his colossal Earth Dragon form soared through the turbulent air. His massive wings cut through the darkened sky as he watched the distant explosions.


    "So, he''s found his opponent." ar thought, his sharp gaze fixed on the crackling shes of light in the distance. He knew Erend had located the enemy he''d been hunting, but the search was not yet over for him.


    He had been waiting for this moment. Krevak. The name burned in his mind like a brand. He was certain the golden me wielder was his destined foe. His wings beat harder against the wind and propelling him forward with renewed determination.


    The memories of Krevak''s torment and his insults when he was acting weak red in the back of his mind, fueling his wrath.


    As the minutes stretched, ar finally can see a golden glow appeared below, cutting through the dense canopy of the forest. It pulsed steadily, growing brighter as ar neared.


    His massive Dragon maw curled into a wild grin, his sharp teeth glinting in the light of the storm. It wasn''t an expression of joy but of sheer, menacing anticipation of finally founding his prey.


    He folded his wings slightly, angling into a steep dive. The wind screamed past him as he descended like a meteor, his enormous form casting a shadow over the forest below.


    Then arnded with a thunderous cras. His massive ws digging deep into the earth. The ground trembled violently, cracks radiating outward from the point of impact. Dust and debris exploded around him, shrouding his massive figure for a brief moment before settling.


    As the dust cleared, ar''s glowing eyes locked onto a figure standing before a massive golden skeleton that pulsed with power of golden me. The figure facing it was unmistakable. It was Krevak himself.


    The avatar of golden fire stood facing the skeleton, his bald and muscr form exuding an aura of power he managed to absorb until now. His golden coat shimmered, catching the light of the skeleton. He turned slowly toward ar.


    Krevak''s piercing eyes met ar''s, and a smirk spread across his face.


    "So," Krevak said, his voice low and confident, "the Dragonborn of earth finallyes to face his judgment."


    ar let out a deep, guttural growl that resonated through the forest. His ws dug deeper into the earth as his enormous wings spread wide, stirring the wind around him.


    "Judgment?" ar rumbled, his voice deep and resonant, carrying the weight of his fury. "No, Krevak. This is retribution. You will get what you deserve."


    The air between them grew charged with more Magic energy, the ground trembling as their aura collided. The golden glow of Krevak''s mes burned brighter while the ground beneath ar began to crack and shift, small fragments rising into the air as his power surged.


    The storm overhead seemed to hold its breath as the two titans prepared to sh. Then, without another word, ar charded at Krevak, his massive ws tearing through the earth as he closed the distance between himself and Krevak in a single, terrifying bound.


    Krevak stood his ground, the golden fire around him ring to meet the oing storm of earth and fury.


    BOOM!


    The forest erupted into chaos as another two forces collided, shaking the heavens and the earth.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ar''s massive ws struck Krevak''s golden mes. Trees were uprooted and the hills was torn apart as the sh of power between the two titans started.


    Krevak smieked at the center of his radiant golden aura. He extended his arms, the mes around him ring outward as they began to coalesce into a massive form. The golden fire twisted and surged, shaping itself into a towering humanoid construct of zing energy. Krevak stood at its core, his muscr figure encased in the mes, directing the movement of his golden me giant body.


    Now, in his colossal ming form, Krevak rivaled ar''s massive Earth Dragon body in both size and presence. His glowing eyes met ar''s with a glint of confidence.


    ar didn''t give a shit about the transformation. It only making him easy to hit.


    "GROOOAAAHHH!"


    He let out an ear-splitting roar. His brown and ck scales glimmered as the energy of the earth surged through him, cracks in the ground emitting a glowing light as he drew more power. With a powerful leap, he lunged at Krevak and stretching his ws to strike.


    Krevak met him head-on. His massive golden arm swung upward, colliding with ar''s w. The sh sent another shockwave through the forest, ttening everything in its path. Sparks of golden fire and fragments of earth burst into the air like a storm of destruction.


    For a few intense seconds, the two giants exchanged blows. ar''s ws tore through the golden mes while Krevak''s ming fists pummeled against ar''s hardened scales. Each impact and each strike tearing deeper into thendscape.


    ar''s movements were fastt and feral despite his, his ws raking across Krevak''s ming chest. The mes sputtered for a moment before reigniting and Krevak retaliated with a devastating punch that sent ar staggering back.


    Then, with a guttural shout, Krevak charged at him, his golden mes burning brighter. The heat radiating from him grew unbearable, warping the air around them as the golden giant''s fists crackled with concentrated power.


    "Burn!" Krevak roared. He unleashed a torrent of golden fire at ar.


    The searing heat engulfed ar. His scales glowed with the intensity of the me attack. He let out a guttural snarl, staggering as the mes licked at him. For the first time he felt the full might of Krevak''s power. The heat he felt was oppressive, suffocating, and far greater than he had anticipated.


    ar dug his ws into the ground, anchoring himself as the inferno raged around him. His glowing eyes flickered momentarily, but then his expression hardened. He would not fall here.


    The earth beneath him began to tremble violently as he drew deeply from its power. Stones and debris rose into the air, orbiting him as his scales began to glow, signaling the energy coursing through him. He let out another roar and shaking the mes off with a burst of his raw strength.


    "Is that all you''ve got, Krevak?!" ar growled, his deep voice rumbling like an earthquake. "I''ve faced worse than your tricks!"


    Despite the burning heat and the cracks forming in his scales, ar surged forward once more, his ws glowing energy as he prepared to payback for the attack.


    Krevak''s golden giant leaned forward, its fiery form intensifying as they shed again.


    ---


    "ROAR!!!"


    On the other side of the battlefield, Erend''s roar echoed like rolling thunder, carrying the weight of his fury. The betrayal and greed he had just witnessed burned in his chest. The man had killed his own friend and stolen her power without hesitation. It was a cruelty Erend could hardly fathom, a depravity that made his scales crackle with Magic energy fuled by his anger.


    "KALE!" he roared, his voice shaking the skies. His jaws parted and a surge of lightning erupted in a blinding arc toward his foe. The air sizzled as the st tore across the battlefield.


    Kale stood his ground, a smirk tugging at his lips. Shadows coiled around him like living armor, pulsating with the power of darkness. As the lightning neared him, Kale raised his hand, and the shadows surged upward like a ck tidal wave. The crackling energy collided with the wall of darkness creating a storm of sparks and smoke.


    To Erend''s dismay, the lightning dissipated against the shadowy defense. The sight sent worry through him. Kale''s mastery of the dark was strong.


    "You''re predictable," Kale sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "Anger makes you reckless."


    Before Erend could respond, Kale moved. Shadows swirled around him, coalescing into a thick imprable mist that quickly spread across the battlefield. Within seconds, Erend''s vision was consumed by ckness.


    Erend growled, his glowing eyes darting through the haze.


    The darkness offered no reply. Instead, a sudden impact mmed into the side of his head with a force that sent him reeling. Another blow struck before he could recover then another, faster than he could track. The strikes rattled his senses, and their source hidden in the mist.


    Snarling in frustration, Erend swiped with his massive ws, but they only met empty air. He staggered, his heavy form scraping against the earth as something swept under his legs. With a startled growl, he lost his bnce and crashed to the ground.


    The moment he hit the earth, the mist above him churned violently. Dozens of enormous tendrils, formed from pure darkness, erupted downward like writhing serpents. They struck him, mming into his body from all angles with incredible power.


    Erend roared in pain, his scales creaking under the weight of the assault. Each tendril imbued with strange power, battering him without mercy. The ground beneath him cracked and splintered as the tendrils drove him deeper into the earth.


    "You''re not even worth killing," Kale''s mocking voice echoed from the shadows. "I think I will let You have the death like you deserve, forgotten and powerless."


    The taunt ignited something deep within Erend. He snarled and the familiar energy of his Dragonborn power surged within him. His scales shimmered more brightly, shes of white and blue dancing across his body.


    A pulse of power exploded from his form, shattering several tendrils and dispersing some of the mist. Lightning coursed through his body, illuminating the darkness in a brilliant electric blue. He jumped to his feet, shaking off the remnants of the shadowy tendrils.
