126. Battle (final)

As the Deathbloom's strength surged with every passing moment, Kai knew he had to escalate his efforts. With a focused thought, he summoned his astral body, a spectral warrior that mirrored his intent and ferocity. Together, they launched a coordinated assault on the Deathbloom, a dance of destruction choreographed to break through the creature's defenses.

Kai's main body moved with lethal precision, targeting the shield that the Deathbloom conjured with each attack. His sword, a conduit of his Will Power, clashed against the barrier, sending out waves of energy that rippled across the battlefield. Each strike weakened the shield, creating fissures through which his astral body could strike.
