the fight against Lisa's dad(2)

The battlefield trembled as the abyss swelled. Lisa's father stood tall, the wound on his side closing as if it had never been there. His smirk returned, colder, sharper—more dangerous.

Lisa's Father:

"Enough playing."

His voice was different now. It wasn't amused anymore. It was final.

A pulse of darkness erupted from him, a tidal wave of abyssal energy so dense that the very air grew thick and suffocating. The ground beneath them cracked, shadows seeping into the earth like veins of corruption.

Liam, Jack, Amelia, and Luna barely had time to react before the abyss swallowed them whole.

Liam felt it first—the suffocating weight of the abyss pressing against his chest. It was like drowning in a sea of ink, his lightning flickering like a dying candle.

Jack:

"What the hell—?!"

Jack gritted his teeth as the abyss wrapped around his limbs, restraining his movements. His lightning crackled weakly, unable to break through.

Amelia's light wavered, dimming against the overwhelming darkness.

Luna gasped as her water spells evaporated before they could even form.

Lisa's Father:

"Do you feel it? The abyss is not just power. It is inevitability."

He clenched his fist, and the darkness tightened around them. Liam could barely breathe. The abyss wasn't just an element—it was alive. It was feeding off their energy, growing stronger while they grew weaker.

Liam:

"Damn it…!"

Jack struggled, his body spasming as the abyss siphoned his strength.

Jack:

"I…can't move!"

Amelia fell to her knees, gripping her staff as golden light sputtered from her fingertips.

Amelia:

"He's draining us…!"

Luna, her body trembling, tried to summon a last burst of water magic. But the abyss devoured it before it could even take shape.

Lisa's Father:

"This is the difference between us. You fight with passion, with fury, but in the end…"

He raised his hand.

Lisa's Father:

"You will break."

With a single gesture, the abyss collapsed.

A colossal force crashed down upon them, an unseen pressure so immense that the battlefield itself screamed. The ground shattered, cracks webbing out in every direction as the force of the abyss threatened to crush them into dust.

Liam let out a strangled cry as he was forced to his knees. Jack fell beside him, blood dripping from his mouth. Amelia barely held onto her staff, and Luna clutched her chest, gasping for air.

The abyss was winning.

Lisa's Father:

"I told you. You were never going to win."

But then—

A spark.

It flickered inside Liam.

A single, stubborn spark of defiance.

Lisa's father's abyss pressed down harder, but the spark refused to go out.

Liam clenched his fists.

Liam:

"No."

Jack groaned beside him, barely conscious.

Jack:

"Liam…?"

Liam's lightning crackled weakly, but it was still there. The abyss hadn't devoured him completely. And if even a single spark remained—

Liam:

"You're wrong."

Lisa's Father raised an eyebrow.

Lisa's Father:

"Oh?"

Liam's breath was ragged, his body screaming in pain, but he forced himself to stand.

Liam:

"We're not going to break."

He glared at Lisa's father, his eyes burning.

Liam:

"Because we haven't even started fighting yet."

Jack let out a strained chuckle.

Jack:

"Heh… leave it to you to say something that dumb when we're getting our asses kicked."

Amelia exhaled sharply, pushing herself up, her golden light flickering back to life.

Amelia:

"Liam's right. We're not done yet."

Luna wiped the blood from her mouth and stood as well, her blue eyes fierce.

Luna:

"We won't let the abyss consume us."

Lisa's Father frowned slightly.

Lisa's Father:

"You don't know when to die, do you?"

Liam smirked.

Liam:

"Nope. That's your problem, isn't it?"

The air shifted.

The abyss pressed against them—but this time, their wills pushed back.

Lightning surged.

Light flared.

Water raged.

Jack clenched his fists, his body crackling with raw, unrestrained power.

Jack:

"Alright… let's fry this bastard."

Liam's lightning erupted around him, forming a storm that shattered the abyssal chains.

Lisa's Father's eyes narrowed.

Lisa's Father:

"Tch—!"

Luna raised her hands, and a massive tidal wave formed, defying the abyss as it crashed toward Lisa's father.

Amelia's light condensed into a spear of pure radiance, aimed directly at the heart of the darkness.

Liam shot forward, his blade leaving a trail of electricity in its wake.

Liam:

"Let's see if the abyss can handle this!"

Lisa's father snarled and summoned a wall of shadows—but this time, it wasn't enough.

Jack's punch connected. A deafening boom erupted as a shockwave of electricity tore through Lisa's father's body.

Lisa's Father:

"Urgh—!"

Luna's wave crashed into him next, the sheer force sending him staggering.

Amelia's light followed, burning through his defenses like a spear through flesh.

And then—

Liam appeared above him.

Lisa's Father's eyes widened.

Liam:

"You're finished."

With one final swing, Liam's blade struck.

An explosion of pure power tore through the battlefield. The abyss trembled, the darkness shattering.

Lisa's father was sent crashing into the ground, a massive crater forming beneath him.

Silence.

For a moment, nothing moved.

Jack panted, wiping blood from his lip.

Jack:

"Is… is it over?"

Luna's eyes were sharp, watching the crater.

Luna:

"No… he's not done yet."

Amelia gripped her staff tightly.

Amelia:

"He's still—"

And then—

The ground erupted.

A pillar of black energy shot into the sky, splitting the heavens apart.

Lisa's Father emerged, his cloak of darkness now pulsing, his form more monstrous than before. His eyes burned with raw, unfiltered rage.

Lisa's Father:

"Enough."

His voice was deeper, heavier. The abyss coiled around him, denser than ever before.

Lisa's Father:

"I am done underestimating you."

Liam's grip on his blade tightened.

Liam:

"Good. Because neither are we."

Jack's lightning doubled in intensity. Luna's water surged into a massive vortex. Amelia's golden light burned like the sun itself.

Lisa's father raised his hand, abyssal energy forming into something massive, something unnatural.

Lisa's Father:

"It ends here."

Liam's eyes locked onto him.

Liam:

"Yeah. It does."

The battlefield stood still.

Lightning crackled.

Shadows twisted.

Water raged.

Light blazed.

Both sides prepared their final attacks.

And then—

They charged.
