(Samuel's POV)
The air cracked like shattered glass, the sheer pressure of our auras colliding against Nyxroth's abyssal presence sending shockwaves rippling through the void. The dungeon was gone—only an endless black abyss surrounded us now.
But it didn't matter.
Because this fight wasn't about the place.
It was about who stood last.
Nyxroth's six abyssal eyes burned with cold fury, its massive form towering over us, yet it did not attack.
It was… watching. Calculating.
Learning.
Henry exhaled, his Celestial Overdrive still flaring around him, golden flames licking at his armor.
"It's hesitating," he muttered.
I grinned, rolling my shoulders as my Abyssal Gauntlets pulsed with destruction.
"It's realized something."
Henry glanced at me. "Yeah?"
I took a step forward, feeling the raw power surging through me, my body still wrecked, but my spirit unbroken.
"That for the first time… it's actually in danger."
Nyxroth's abyssal form shuddered, the darkness around it warping as if resisting its very presence.
Then it spoke, its voice echoing through the abyss.
"You should not exist."
Henry smirked. "Yeah? Too bad."
Then—Nyxroth moved.

The Final Clash
It was instantaneous.
Nyxroth vanished, reappearing behind me, its claw already descending toward my skull with enough force to rip through dimensions.
But this time?
I was faster.
Void Step.
I phased out of reality, flickering behind it just as Henry appeared from above, his Sword of the First Dawn burning like a second sun.
"DIVINE VERDICT!" Henry roared, swinging his blade.
A blinding explosion of golden light erupted—
Nyxroth twisted mid-air, raising its claw just in time, but the impact sent it crashing through the abyss.
I didn't wait.
I charged, my Abyssal Gauntlets roaring to life, abyssal energy coiling around my arms like living shadows.
"BREATH OF DESTRUCTION!"
A torrential wave of black hellfire erupted from my mouth, consuming Nyxroth as it tried to recover.
The flames devoured everything, twisting and writhing as they burned through its void-like form—
Then—it adapted.
Nyxroth's form shifted, its body hardening, absorbing the flames—trying to evolve past them.
"Not this time."
I teleported mid-air, appearing right above its regenerating form, and slammed my fist straight through its chest.
CRACK.
For the first time—Nyxroth screamed.
I twisted my arm, abyssal energy detonating inside its core, but before I could move further—
It backhanded me away.
"Tch—!" I spun mid-air, barely regaining my balance as Henry shot past me, his divine aura blazing.
"I got it!" he called, vanishing again.
Nyxroth tried to retaliate—but Henry was already behind it.
"HEAVEN'S JUDGMENT!"
A massive divine sigil appeared in the abyss, golden chains shooting out and binding Nyxroth's limbs.
The Abyssal Monarch snarled, trying to phase out—but Henry's divine energy countered it.
For the first time, it was trapped.

The End – Kings' Wrath
Henry turned to me, eyes burning with golden fury.
"Samuel. Now."
I grinned, rising to my feet as my Abyssal Gauntlets pulsed, my entire body surging with raw unfiltered destruction.
"On it."
I breathed in—and then unleashed the strongest attack I had ever used.
"BREATH OF OBLIVION!"
The abyss tore apart.
A massive black hole of destruction erupted from my mouth, spiraling toward Nyxroth, burning through reality itself—
At the same time, Henry raised his sword high.
"CELESTIAL FINAL STRIKE!"
A beam of divine lightning descended from the heavens, colliding with my attack mid-air, merging into an explosion of pure light and darkness.
The attack slammed into Nyxroth, engulfing it entirely.
The Abyssal Monarch let out a screeching howl, its form twisting violently, the abyss around it collapsing, until—
It was gone.
Obliterated.
The abyss shattered—
And everything went white.

(Aftermath – A New Path Forward)
When the light faded, Henry and I stood in an empty space.
No abyss. No dungeon.
Just… nothingness.
Then—

Henry let out a tired chuckle, his divine energy finally flickering out.
"Holy shit."
I exhaled, my body aching, but a grin spread across my face.
"We actually did it."
Henry smirked. "Yeah… We did."
We weren't just two warriors anymore.
We were two kings.
And this?
This was only the beginning.
