"Give it your best shot! Everyone's fate is sealed!" Paente grinned viciously, spreading his arms wide.

Souta leaped into the sky, brandishing his sword. Crackling with lightning, the blade descended in a powerful arc.

A bolt of lightning streaked towards Paente, triggering a massive explosion enveloped in smoke.

Boom!

From within the haze emerged Paente, wearing a malevolent grin. Suddenly, his expression shifted as webs charged with lightning rained down from all directions.

Using the electrified webs to propel himself, Souta darted around Paente, landing slashes on his chest and maneuvering with agility.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Paente struggled to keep up with Souta's lightning-fast movements, sustaining slashes to his neck, face, and body. Before he could react, the webs ensnared him, constricting his movements.

Gritting his teeth, Paente tore through the webbing, only to find Souta standing before him.
