"One and Final Strike"

*The battle for defending their home had ended, leaving everything lay in ruins. However, the fight against the Demish King hasn't reached its final stage yet*

*During the first minute of the battle, King Niut was overwhelmed*

*His body was relentlessly torn apart by the combined forces of the human fighters. Yet, despite their efforts, it seemed futile, as King Niut's body regenerated at an alarming rate, growing stronger in every renewal*

"I know this won't be easy, but I never thought it would be this hard!" Reid Crimson exclaimed in frustration.

"I know! And he keeps on getting stronger every time!" Donovan shouted the obvious.

"Focus! Don't let him get a chance to take a breather! Give it everything you've got!" Keane urged everyone not to lose focus on the fight.

*They continue to give the King a beating. King Niut suffers for the first time in a long time*

"I haven't tasted my blood in forever! This is exhilarating!" King Niut commends his attackers for giving him a good time.

*During this brief moment of exchanging words. Everyone noticed that their attacks wasn't working anymore. It was completely being evaded or deflected in just a few minutes in the battle*

*Due to frustration, Donovan urged everyone to use everything in the next attack*

"Follow me and give everything you got on your arsenal!" Donovan shouted as he channeled his power to its maximum fire output, making his body hotter than then sun.

*Everyone else followed suit, including the King*

*As they charged up all their power to its maximum output, the air around them grew heavy with energy. Each of them, glowing with their distinct colors, appeared as if they were stars in the sky – radiating immense power. The sight was nothing short of mesmerizing, like a cosmic gathering of lights about to collide with the mightiest one on the opposite side*

*The biggest one, however, was unlike the others. It radiated an eerie, deep black glow, its presence consuming the light around it, casting shadows that seemed to draw in all the surrounding energy. This dark, foreboding star seemed poised to clash with them, ready to swallow the battlefield with its overwhelming force*

*After a few moments, these set of lights collided with the glowing black light*

"Let's do this!" Donovan shouted as a signal to everyone.

"ARGHHH!!" Reid was the first one to attack, using his telekinesis and strength power combination, he throws his remaining 3 golden spears in a supersonic speed, and each one is faster than the other, it causes a distraction to the King.

*Seeing the distracted King, Keane, Donovan, and Nate combined their attacks and launch themselves towards the King*

"PIERCING VORTEX!" Keane channeled all his energy into his ultimate move, unleashing an immensely powerful attack that conjured a swirling vortex of arcane energy in the shape on an arrow.

"GALE BARRAGE!" Nate shoots his most powerful wind magic after Keane unleashed his attack.

*Keane's magic-arrow shoots forward at incredible speed leaving a trail of shimmering energy behind*

*King Niut tries to cover using two of his four wings, but when Keane's attack hit him, it slowed him momentarily, at the same time Nate attack was approaching at rapid speed*

"Nate!" Donovan shouted towards Nate.

"Yes, Sir!" Nate understood the General's signal instantly.

"ZYPHER SURGE!" after Nate's attack, he cast a spell that propelled Donovan's body towards the King, leaving him with little energy remaining.

"EMBERHEART BURST!" Donovan's body was like the Sun, crashing into the glowing black star.

*With their combined attacks Keane, Nate, and Donovan was able to snap the heart of the King*

"HA! That was easy!" Donovan shouted in triumph, celebrating too soon, that he didn't noticed the attack made by the King due to being too close.

*Using his wings, the King unleashed three slashes at a speed that couldn't be seen by a normal eyes*

*The first slash hit Donovan directly, cutting him in half. Keane, and Nate, however, saw the attack because they were farther away and tried to evade, but couldn't avoid it in time*

*Keane lost his left arm in the first slash while trying to avoid the attack, his right eye was cut and lost his right leg on the second and third slash, and was thrown to the ground in a great speed, Keane was out for the count. Nate's right arm was severed on the third slash. He collapse after seeing his severed arm on the ground, unable to handle the shock due to his weak stamina*

"How many hearts does he have!?" Everyone's thought after witnessing General Donovan crushed its heart.

"AAAARGH! HEAVEN'S CRUSHING CRIMSON STRIKE!" Reid Crimson didn't have the luxury to think about what others saw, as he was so enraged after witnessing his captain suffer from those slashes. He launched himself towards the King and unleashes his own ultimate attack

*His punch was so fast and powerful, but the King countered it with his own "HEAVENLY DEATH BLOW" – the first attack he'd encountered so far that forced him to use a named technique. The massive force of their fists collided, producing a shockwave. However, Reid's right arm was blown off, while the King's left hand was merely pushed back*

"Not bad, human! HAHAHA! Let's continue this exhilarating party!" King Niut laughed, enjoying himself, while the human fighters gave their lives in this battle.

*Norma Foster seized the opportunity created by Reid's attack that pushed the King arm back, using the leverage to strike and cut it*

*Norma successfully cut the King's left arm, but in exchange, she lost her life on the process as the King punched her in the chest using his right arm, where he put a hole in it. Norma died instantly*

*Reid's mind goes black, and he went on a rampage. Using the blade Norma left, Reid swings it using his remaining arm, and cut one of the King's right wing, after cutting the upper right wing he goes for the lower left wing by swinging the katana backed up, and aim for its left arm, but couldn't successfully cut it*

*In King's rage, using his lower left wing and slashes towards Reid, which Reid saw the attack and tried to avoid it but couldn't move in time. His right eye was cut, and he was thrown to the ground with a great force, where he collapsed*

*The battle was so intense that everyone was moved with calculated precision, knowing that even a simple mistake could mean the end for the human fighters*

*Kuro moved towards the King, channeling his Yin powers*

"SHADOW GRASP!" Kuro unleashes a dark, constricting energy that pushed the King back with tremendous force.

*The King faltered, however, his immense strength shrugging off the attack. Despite the white cloth covering his eyes and the damages he sustained, he still seemed to sense every movement with unnatural precision. As the King staggered, Haku swiftly followed up to support Kuro, using his Yang abilities*

"BLINDING DAWN!" Haku casts a burst of radiant energy that illuminated the battlefield, but the attack seemed useless due to the covers on the King's eyes.

*The King's head tilted slightly, as his eyes remained hidden beneath the white cloth*

*Without missing a beat, he raised his hand, and the light from Haku's attack was simply swallowed by an invisible force. It was as if the King's very presence absorbed all light in his vicinity*

*Kuro and Haku, realizing that even in his dire state the King was on a completely different level. Yet, they pushed forward despite the overwhelming odds*

"ECLIPSE STRIKE!" Kuro unleashed another attack concentrating a wave of shadow energy aimed directly at the King, but the King didn't even flinch.

*King Niut simply raised his hand and shattered Kuro's attack as if it were nothing more than a fleeting shadow.

"RADIANT FURY!" in desperate attempt, Haku followed up Kuro's attack, hoping to over to beat the King with sheer brilliance.

*The light flashed towards the King, but once again, his power was absorbed it, as if the very cloth over his eyes shielded him from everything the two could throw at him.

"Is that all you've got humans? Your friends has a bigger chance on defeating me than both of you combined, but still couldn't do it!" The King's low, mocking laugh reverberated through the battlefield, as he taunted the new fighters in front of him.

"Your combined strength couldn't even hit me, why bother challenging me when in the first place you should've surrendered and decide to work for me. That way you will have a better chance on living your pitiful lives. Look at your friends, yes, they put me in this dire state but where are they now?" The King continues to mock the efforts of the fighters.

*However, although the King displayed an immense power and strength, someone was observing his every single move*

*Rain, the Shadow founder, noticed that the wounds inflected to the King were healing a lot slower than when the battle started*

"What causes his healing ability to slow down drastically?" Rain's thought as he watch the battle happening.

*Rain saw that the hole in the King's chest that was inflected by the late General Donovan wasn't healing, and purple blood keep flowing out of it. The left arm hadn't completely regenerated even after a few minutes, the wings that was cut off, and the wound on his right arm was still in the process of healing.

"Is it his heart? I could be his heart! Does he only have two hearts? Then, we can win this!" Rain concluded that it was the heart of the King that lets him heal instantly, but due to the loss of one heart, its healing ability slowed down.

-

*Rain channeled all his energy and power into his "One and Final strike"*

"RADIANT JUDGEMENT: SOLAR ASCENDANT!" Rain unleashes his ultimate attack towards the King.

*The light of the attack could be seen from all the faction's location, as if the Sun decides to come down from heavens. Every eye was forced to close as the battlefield was engulfed in blinding brilliance, and even the heavens appeared to hold their breath in wonder, knowing that this might be the last moment of the fight*
