The battlefield was in ruins. The once-massive cavern had become a frozen wasteland, cracks of dark energy slashing through the remaining ice like scars left by war. Lucas and Lisa stood amidst the wreckage, their eyes locked in an unrelenting glare. Both of them were panting, their bodies covered in cuts, bruises, and the lingering effects of their elemental fury.
Yet, neither faltered.
The time for holding back was over.
This was it. The final clash.
Lisa wiped a streak of blood from her lips, her smirk returning despite the pain.
Lisa:
"You really think you've won something, Lucas? I have to admit, you're tougher than before. But in the end… it doesn't matter."
Lucas spat on the ground, his icy breath forming a mist in the air. His muscles tensed, his rage peaking beyond anything he had ever felt before.
Lucas:
"No. What doesn't matter is you, Lisa. Your entire existence is nothing but a blight, a parasite clinging to life when it should have been snuffed out long ago."
Lisa chuckled darkly.
Lisa:
"Oh? And you think you're the one to do it? Face it, Lucas, you're nothing but a broken fool grasping at revenge. But you know what?"
She leaned forward, her violet eyes burning with malevolence.
Lisa:
"You'll never be satisfied. Even if you kill me, that emptiness inside you will never be filled. You'll still be the pathetic little coward you've always been."
Lucas's rage boiled over. Ice cracked beneath his feet as his aura exploded outward, covering the battlefield in a raging blizzard.
Lucas:
"Shut. The. Hell. Up."
Lisa laughed, her wings spreading wide as dark energy surged through her body.
Lisa:
"Make me, you pathetic excuse of a warrior."
And then—
They vanished.
The air exploded as their bodies blurred with speed beyond human comprehension, clashing in a storm of black and blue.
BOOM!
Lisa's shadow claws ripped through the air, each strike carrying the weight of darkness itself. Lucas dodged, his movements fluid yet ruthless, countering with devastating ice-infused punches. The moment his fist connected with Lisa's ribs—
CRACK!
A rib shattered. Lisa hissed in pain but retaliated instantly, warping behind Lucas and driving her knee into his spine.
BAM!
Lucas stumbled forward but twisted mid-air, conjuring ice spears around him. With a flick of his hand—
SHING!
The spears shot toward Lisa like missiles.
Lisa grinned and vanished into the shadows, reappearing above Lucas with a sphere of pure void energy in her hand.
Lisa:
"Nightfall Oblivion!"
She hurled it down.
Lucas reacted instantly, raising his hands—
Lucas:
"Absolute Zero: Arctic Wall!"
A colossal glacier erupted in front of him, absorbing the impact.
BOOOOOOM!
The explosion sent shockwaves through the cavern, causing massive cracks to run through the ice. But as the dust settled, Lucas charged forward, fists glowing with icy blue flames.
Lucas:
"I'm ending this now!"
Lisa's eyes flashed.
Lisa:
"You? Ending me? That's hilarious."
She roared, her aura erupting like an inferno of shadows.
Lisa:
"Dark Transformation: FINAL STAGE!"
The shadows around her condensed, forming jagged, obsidian-like armor around her body. Her wings became massive, pulsating with dark veins. Her fingers extended into razor-sharp talons dripping with void energy.
Her power had reached its peak.
Lucas didn't hesitate. His aura burned cold, his ice turning a deeper shade of blue—almost translucent.
Lucas:
"Ice Transformation: FINAL STAGE!"
His body crystallized with divine frost, his hair becoming pure white, his eyes glowing like frozen stars. He had become a warrior of absolute ice.
They lunged.
Every attack shook the battlefield. Lisa's void tendrils lashed out like whips, slicing through the ice and carving through stone. Lucas countered with precision, his movements fluid as he created frozen barriers mid-air, launching spears of frost with pinpoint accuracy.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Lisa slashed at him, her claws mere inches from his face—
Lucas ducked, countering with an upward ice punch that sent Lisa flying.
She flipped mid-air, her wings spreading as she unleashed a barrage of black energy bullets.
Lucas raised a single hand.
Lucas:
"Arctic Devastation."
A dome of ice erupted around him, reflecting every single blast back toward Lisa.
Lisa snarled, dodging with inhuman reflexes. She reappeared behind Lucas, her claws brimming with destructive force.
Lisa:
"DIE!"
She thrust forward—
BOOOOOOOOM!
A massive explosion of darkness engulfed Lucas.
For a moment, everything was silent. The battlefield stood still.
Lisa smirked.
Lisa:
"Hah. It's over."
But then—
CRACK.
Lisa's eyes widened.
A chilling aura erupted from the center of the smoke.
The darkness shattered—
And Lucas stepped out.
Unharmed.
Lisa took a step back.
Lisa:
"No... Impossible."
Lucas exhaled, his icy breath freezing the air.
Lucas:
"Now, Lisa. It's my turn."
His hands glowed with an ethereal blue light, the sheer cold freezing even the shadows around them.
Lucas:
"Emperor Zero."
The temperature plummeted. The battlefield itself froze over within seconds. A kilometer-wide radius became an expanse of absolute zero.
Lisa gasped as her body stiffened.
Her wings froze.
Her arms froze.
Her legs froze.
In mere moments, her entire body had been encased in pristine ice—
Except for her head.
Lisa's breath quickened.
Lisa:
"No. No, this can't be. This wasn't my fate. I… I can't be defeated by the likes of you!"
Lucas stepped forward, his cold eyes staring into hers.
Lucas:
"Well, you have been defeated by the likes of me."
He knelt in front of her, his icy hand resting against the frozen structure around her.
Lucas:
"Finally, Lisa. I have finally gotten my revenge. The revenge I've waited so long for."
Lisa's eyes darted wildly.
Lisa:
"You'll die, Lucas. Blazer will kill Dakota. And he'll kill you next."
Lucas chuckled.
Lucas:
"Blazer? Kill Dakota? Impossible."
Lisa growled.
Lisa:
"You underestimate him."
Lucas shook his head.
Lucas:
"No, you underestimate Dakota. Did you forget? Dakota created Blazer. Have you ever seen someone defeat their own creator?"
Lisa clenched her teeth.
Lisa:
"No… but Blazer will be the one to do it. He's that kind of guy."
Lucas's gaze darkened.
Lucas:
"And Dakota is the kind of guy who makes the impossible possible."
He raised his sword.
Lucas:
"Goodbye, Lisa. I hope you burn in hell."
Lisa screamed.
Lisa:
"NO—!"
SHING!
Lucas's blade sliced clean through her neck.
Her head hit the ground with a frozen thud.
Silence.
Lucas exhaled, his icy aura fading as his transformation slowly unraveled. He looked at Lisa's lifeless body, then to the frozen wasteland he had created.
He closed his eyes.
Lucas:
"Finally... The revenge I've been waiting for is finally accomplished."
He stood still, his breathing steadying.
Lucas:
"Now… I finally feel great. I finally feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders."
He glanced up at the cavern ceiling.
Lucas:
"Now, I leave it all up to you... Dakota, Henry, Mia. I hope you defeat Blazer and end this war."
And with that, Lucas turned his back on Lisa's frozen corpse and walked away.
His revenge was complete.
