Boss Fight II...

Adrian steadied his breathing, his fiery chains flickering faintly as they coiled around him protectively. Across the cracked and scorched chamber, Marcus stood tall, his blade glowing ominously, dark energy pulsating from the runes etched into its surface. 

Their auras were crashing into each other in an invisible storm of power, making the air between them crackle with tension.

"You've gotten better," Marcus admitted, his tone begrudging yet laced with sarcasm. "The old Adrian wouldn't have lasted this long."

Adrian smirked, rolling his shoulders as his fiery chains sparked to life. "The old Marcus wasn't so cocky. Let's finish this."

Without another word, Marcus lunged forward, his blade cutting through the air with deadly precision. Adrian met the strike head-on, his own weapon blazing as their swords collided in a brilliant explosion of light and shadow.

The chamber shook with the force of their battle.
