Chapter 22 – Beyond Limits! Mri's Ultimate Awakening!
The sky itself split apart as Mri and Vaelthor clashed. The sheer intensity of their battle sent shockwaves rippling across the jungle, flattening trees and cracking the earth beneath them.
BOOOOOM!
Their fists collided, creating an explosion of energy so violent that the clouds above dispersed, revealing the swirling cosmos beyond.
Jasmine and the others were forced to retreat further, shielding themselves from the raw power radiating from the battle.
"This… this is insane," Bibek muttered, his voice trembling. "This isn't even a fight anymore… It's like two forces of nature colliding!"
Ayang gritted his teeth. "But Mri's still not at full power. I can feel it… he's pushing beyond his limits."
Malobika held onto Ayang's arm. "You think he can win?"
Ayang didn't answer. He just watched.
Because deep inside, he wasn't sure.
---
Above the battlefield, Mri and Vaelthor vanished—then reappeared.
WHOOSH! BOOM! WHAM!
Mri ducked under a devastating punch, countering with a brutal knee to Vaelthor's gut.
Vaelthor barely flinched. Instead, he caught Mri's leg, twisted, and hurled him downward.
CRASH!
Mri smashed into the ground, creating a massive crater as rocks and debris flew in all directions.
But before the dust could settle—
WHOOSH!
Mri shot back up, his aura burning brighter, wilder.
His body was changing.
Golden cracks rippled across his skin, his veins glowing with pure energy. His Yellow Aura was beginning to shift, morphing into something far more powerful.
Vaelthor's eyes narrowed.
"You're still evolving?"
Mri clenched his fists. His breath was heavy, but his stance remained unshaken.
"I'm not losing to you."
Vaelthor smirked. "Then prove it."
And then—
They vanished again.
WHOOSH!
Their battle moved beyond human perception, their fists colliding at speeds that no normal eye could follow.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Mountains crumbled. Rivers split apart. The very air caught fire from the friction of their movements.
Vaelthor grinned as he weaved through Mri's attacks, countering with swift strikes that sent shockwaves through the battlefield.
"You're still holding back," he taunted.
Mri gritted his teeth. He could feel it—
He was close.
So damn close to reaching something beyond Darkened Yellow.
But he needed—
One final push.
---
Jasmine and the others watched in awe and horror.
"Mri's giving it everything he has…" Jasmine whispered. "But—"
"He's still not enough," Ayang finished, fists clenched. "Vaelthor's Cosmic Aura is too overwhelming."
Jasmine's eyes burned with frustration.
"Then what does Mri need?!" she shouted. "What more can he possibly do?!"
Ayang's eyes flickered with realization.
"…He needs to abandon all limits."
Jasmine turned to him.
"What?"
Ayang took a deep breath.
"There's one final stage beyond Darkened Yellow. But it's… almost impossible to achieve. Only a handful in history have ever reached it."
Jasmine's heart pounded.
"You mean… Cosmic Awakening?"
Ayang shook his head.
"No. Something even rarer."
Jasmine's breath caught in her throat.
"The Darkened Cosmic Yellow Aura."
Everyone fell silent.
"That's just a legend," Bibek muttered.
Ayang's gaze hardened.
"Maybe. But if Mri wants to win… he has to make that legend real."
---
Back in the battle—
Vaelthor let out a roar as he launched a massive energy blast toward Mri.
Mri braced himself—
And then, something clicked.
A deep, primal power awakened within him.
His heartbeat slowed.
Everything around him—time itself—froze.
In that moment, Mri saw everything clearly.
He saw the energy, the motion, the very fabric of the battle itself.
And then—
His aura exploded.
BOOOOOOOM!
The jungle trembled as a new power erupted from Mri's body.
His aura, once golden, now burned with a dark, celestial glow. Black lightning crackled around him, and his eyes shifted—burning with an intensity never seen before.
Vaelthor's eyes widened for the first time.
"…Impossible."
Mri exhaled slowly. His voice was calm.
"I've surpassed my limits."
He lifted his gaze.
"This… is Darkened Cosmic Yellow."
WHOOSH!
And before Vaelthor could react—
Mri vanished.
Only to reappear right in front of him.
And then—
BOOOOOM!
Mri's fist collided with Vaelthor's chest, sending a shockwave so powerful it ripped apart the sky.
Vaelthor's body was sent flying, his Cosmic Aura cracking under the force of the blow.
Jasmine gasped. "He—he actually hit Vaelthor?!"
Ayang grinned.
"No. He dominated him."
Vaelthor crashed into the earth, skidding through the jungle, leaving behind a massive trench.
As he struggled to rise, he wiped blood from his lips.
And for the first time—
He scowled.
"…So you think you've won?"
Mri hovered above him, his new form radiating pure power.
"I'm not here to think," Mri said, his voice like thunder. "I'm here to end this."
The final battle had begun.
To Be Continued…
Chapter 23 – Clash of Gods! The True War Begins!
BOOOOOOM!
The entire jungle shook violently as Mri and Vaelthor clashed again. Their blows tore apart the land, leaving behind deep trenches and craters. Each strike sent shockwaves across the sky, shaking the very fabric of reality itself.
Mri's Darkened Cosmic Yellow Aura burned fiercely around him, black lightning crackling along his skin. His golden energy had become something far greater—more primal, more destructive.
Vaelthor, however, remained undaunted. His Cosmic Blue Aura surged, wrapping his dragon-human form in an unbreakable shield of power.
"You're strong," Vaelthor admitted, rolling his shoulders. "Stronger than I expected. But..."
His eyes glowed with a terrifying light.
"You still can't beat me."
WHOOSH!
Vaelthor vanished, reappearing instantly behind Mri with an axe-kick that split the air.
Mri barely had time to react—
BOOOOOM!
The force of the kick sent him plummeting toward the ground.
CRASH!
Mri hit the earth hard, leaving a massive crater in his wake. The impact was so great that mountains in the distance crumbled.
Jasmine, Ayang, and the others barely managed to stay standing.
"This… this is insane!" Bibek yelled, shielding his face from the violent winds.
"Mri—!" Jasmine took a step forward, panic in her voice.
But Ayang stopped her.
"Wait," he muttered, eyes locked on the battlefield. "He's not done yet."
---
Inside the crater—
Mri groaned as he pushed himself up, his entire body aching from the impact. His new form was powerful, but Vaelthor was still on another level.
'Damn it… he's still overpowering me.'
Mri clenched his fists. His aura flickered, but he refused to let it fade.
'No. I won't lose. I can't lose.'
He took a deep breath, his golden-yellow eyes burning with determination.
'If Darkened Cosmic Yellow isn't enough… then I'll push even further.'
Mri closed his eyes.
And then he let go.
He stopped holding back.
He stopped limiting himself.
And then—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A colossal burst of energy erupted from his body, sending massive shockwaves in all directions. The ground cracked beneath him, and the air became heavy with pure power.
Vaelthor, who had been hovering above, staggered back slightly.
And then—
His eyes widened.
"No way…"
Above the battlefield, a massive energy storm formed in the sky, swirling with golden and black lightning. The very fabric of space began to distort.
And at the center of it all—
Mri rose from the crater.
His Darkened Cosmic Yellow Aura had changed again.
It was no longer just black and gold.
It was something beyond that.
Something unreal.
His body now emitted a blinding radiance, and his aura burned with a divine-like intensity. His hair shimmered between deep gold and cosmic black, his veins glowing with raw energy.
Jasmine gasped. "What… what is this?!"
Ayang took a step back, his breath caught in his throat.
"No way. This isn't just Darkened Cosmic Yellow anymore… This is something new."
Malobika gripped Ayang's sleeve. "What do you mean?"
Ayang's hands clenched into fists.
"This… is Limitless Darkened Cosmic Yellow."
---
Back in the sky—
Mri opened his eyes, and the world itself seemed to tremble.
He flexed his fingers, feeling the limitless power coursing through his veins.
And then, with a single motion—
WHOOSH!
He disappeared.
Vaelthor barely had time to react.
Mri reappeared right in front of him—
And then, for the first time in the fight—
He landed a clean, devastating punch.
BOOOOOOOOM!
Vaelthor's body exploded backward, crashing through multiple mountains before finally stopping midair, coughing out blue blood.
Silence.
Everyone watching had the same expression—
Complete shock.
"He… he actually hurt him…" Bibek whispered.
Jasmine's hands trembled. "Mri… just surpassed everything."
Vaelthor wiped the blood from his mouth, his expression now serious.
"I see," he muttered. "You really did it. You evolved past your limits."
Then he smirked, his Cosmic Aura burning even brighter.
"Good."
His voice became low, primal.
"Now, I don't have to hold back either."
The sky darkened.
Space itself bent and warped as Vaelthor's aura surged beyond measure.
His dragon scales grew darker, sharper. His muscles expanded, and his wings became larger and more terrifying.
His eyes burned with a cosmic fire.
And then—
He roared.
ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!
The entire jungle shattered under the sheer force of his energy.
The air became suffocating.
The entire dimension trembled.
Mri stared at him, unfazed.
And then, he grinned.
"So you've finally decided to take me seriously?"
Vaelthor smirked back.
"This is going to be fun."
WHOOSH!
And with that—
The final battle truly began.

To Be Continued…
Chapter 24 – The Last Stand! The Battle Beyond Limits!
The sky burned.
Two figures blurred across the battlefield, clashing at incomprehensible speeds. Each strike shattered reality itself, sending shockwaves that tore through the jungle, mountains, and sky.
BOOOOOM!
Mri's Limitless Darkened Cosmic Yellow Aura surged around him as he blocked Vaelthor's clawed fist, the impact distorting space. Their blows were no longer physical; they were collisions of pure energy.
Vaelthor grinned, his hybrid dragon-human form glowing with raw cosmic power. His scales had darkened, his wings now infused with nebula-like energy. He was the apex predator, the ultimate warrior.
But Mri wasn't backing down.
He had pushed past his limits.
And he would push even further.
---
Below, the others could only watch in awe.
Jasmine, Ayang, Malobika, and the rest stood at a distance, struggling to stay on their feet as the battle tore apart the world.
"This is beyond anything I've ever seen…" Bibek muttered, his fists clenched.
"They're not just fighting," Ayang said, his voice serious. "They're redefining what's possible."
Jasmine's eyes never left Mri. "Please… win."
---
Back in the sky—
Vaelthor vanished.
Mri's eyes snapped to the side.
WHOOSH!
Vaelthor reappeared behind him, his claw coated in cosmic energy as he slashed forward.
Mri dodged at the last second, countering with a devastating knee to Vaelthor's gut.
BOOOOOM!
Vaelthor coughed out blue blood, but he barely flinched before retaliating with an elbow to Mri's face.
CRACK!
Mri's head snapped back, but he gritted his teeth and spun midair, delivering a brutal roundhouse kick that sent Vaelthor crashing through a floating island.
Before Vaelthor could react—
Mri was already there.
WHOOSH!
A punch to the ribs.
A kick to the skull.
A fist charged with pure cosmic power, smashing into Vaelthor's chest.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Vaelthor exploded backward, crashing through multiple mountains before finally stopping midair, breathing heavily.
Mri hovered above him, aura flaring.
"This ends now," he said, his voice resolute.
Vaelthor wiped his mouth and smirked.
"You're strong," he admitted. "But..."
His eyes glowed.
"You haven't seen my full power yet."
The entire world darkened.
And then—
Vaelthor transformed.

Chapter 25 – Mri vs Vaelthor! The Final Blow!
Vaelthor's body shifted.
His scales turned pure black, his eyes glowed an eerie cosmic blue. His wings expanded tenfold, and his aura became monstrous—beyond anything Mri had ever seen.
He was now in his Final Hybrid Form.
The ultimate Dragon-Human Apex.
Mri tightened his fists, feeling the weight of the battle.
And then—
They charged.
BOOOOOOOM!
The sky shattered as they met, their fists colliding with enough force to tear open rifts in space.
Mri unleashed a storm of rapid punches, each blow pushing Vaelthor back. But Vaelthor roared, countering with a devastating claw strike that nearly tore through Mri's defense.
The battle raged across the heavens.
They clashed in the air, on the ground, even in the deepest layers of the atmosphere.
Every strike sent shockwaves through the planet.
And then—
Mri made his move.
He gathered every ounce of power left in his body.
His Limitless Darkened Cosmic Yellow Aura burned brighter than ever before, his energy spiraling into something beyond imagination.
He charged forward.
Vaelthor did the same.
Their final blows met—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A colossal explosion erupted, swallowing the battlefield in golden and blue flames.
The world shook violently.
And then—
Silence.
As the dust settled, only one figure remained standing.
Mri, breathing heavily, his body battered but victorious.
Vaelthor lay in the ruins, his energy fading. He coughed, smiling weakly.
"...I see," he whispered. "You really are... the strongest."
Mri stared down at him, his golden aura flickering.
"It's over," he said.
Vaelthor closed his eyes, letting out a final sigh.
And then—
He was gone.
The battle was won.
---
The Aftermath—
Mri collapsed onto his knees, exhausted.
The others rushed to his side.
"You did it!" Jasmine cried, hugging him.
Ayang let out a breath, shaking his head. "That was insane..."
Bibek smirked. "You really are a monster, huh?"
Mri chuckled weakly. "I… need a vacation."
The team looked around at the ruined battlefield, knowing that they had survived something legendary.
Their journey was far from over.
But for now—
They had won.

The End....
