Clash of the Firstborns!

Chapter 12 – Clash of the Firstborns! The Ultimate Test Begins!

BOOM!

The battlefield erupted as four titanic forces collided.

Kairo's golden flames burned hotter than ever. They didn't just destroy—they rebuilt, reshaped, and strengthened. His entire body flickered with fire, his wings of flame extending behind him.

Raizen crackled with silver lightning. His body was no longer separate from the storm—it was the storm. The air hummed with raw energy, the sky bending under his presence.

And against them—

The Firstborns stood tall.

Kaelith, the Golden Phoenix, smirked. His fire surged, forming a massive flaming dragon that spiraled around his body.

Raikuro, the Storm Titan, grinned. His lightning cracked like divine punishment, forming a spear of pure destruction in his hands.

"This," Kaelith said, his golden flames roaring, "is the battle you were born for."

Raikuro's eyes gleamed. "Show us what you've learned."

The Ultimate Battle – Power Unleashed

Kairo vanished in a flash of golden fire.

FWOOOM!

His fist collided with Kaelith's, flames erupting like a supernova. The ground beneath them melted from the sheer heat.

Kaelith grinned. "Good!"

He countered—a burst of golden flames shaped like a phoenix screeched forward.

But Kairo—

Didn't dodge.

Instead—

He absorbed the flames.

Kaelith's eyes widened in surprise.

BOOM!

Kairo burst forward, his flames now burning even stronger.

Kaelith laughed. "Now you get it!"

Raizen moved faster than lightning.

CRACK!

His fist slammed into Raikuro's storm barrier.

The impact split the clouds.

Raikuro's grin widened.

"Finally," Raikuro said, gripping his lightning spear. "Now we can have fun."

He threw the spear.

The moment it left his hand—the entire battlefield darkened.

A storm of endless lightning exploded outward, twisting and crackling in pure chaos.

Raizen, however—

Didn't flinch.

Instead—

He spread his arms.

And the lightning—

Bent to his will.

Instead of destroying him—

It fused with his body.

Raikuro's eyes narrowed.

Raizen smirked.

BOOM!

He disappeared in a flash of silver.

And the next moment—

His knee crashed into Raikuro's face.

Breaking Limits – First Transformation Awakens

Kairo and Raizen's powers reached their peak.

But—

They could feel it.

There was still more.

They hadn't fully stepped into their true power.

And then—

It happened.

Their bodies glowed.

A burning aura of transformation erupted around them.

Kairo's wings became real—feathers of golden fire spread behind him. His arms burned with divine flames, his eyes glowing like twin suns.

Raizen's body crackled with silver lightning—his hair flowing like a storm. The air itself shifted around him, bending to his will.

This—

This was their true transformation.

Kaelith and Raikuro watched in approval.

Kaelith smiled. "Now that… that is Phoenix power."

Raikuro chuckled. "And that… is what it means to be the storm."

The fight ended there.

Not because they were out of strength—

But because they had passed the test.

The Aftermath – Returning Home

The battle was over.

Kairo and Raizen survived.

A montage of their journey home flashed before their eyes.

Kairo and Raizen training in the ruins of the battlefield, refining their transformations.

Hunting and surviving in the wild, learning the limits of their new power.

Facing smaller battles along the way, testing their abilities.

Finally reaching the gates of their homeland, stronger than ever.

They had left as warriors.

They returned as something greater.

And now—

The world was going to see what they had become.

Understanding the Transformation – How to Use It at Will

As they stood at the gates of their homeland, Kairo clenched his fist.

"Now I get it," he murmured.

Raizen nodded. "Yeah… me too."

Their transformations weren't just about raw power.

They weren't just about unlocking more strength.

They were about understanding.

Kairo had to accept the flames, let them consume and remake him.

Raizen had to become the storm, not just wield it.

It wasn't something they could force.

It had to be felt.

Understood.

Mastered.

And now—

They had.

Kairo smirked. "We're just getting started."

Raizen cracked his knuckles. "Yeah… let's see how far we can push this."

And with that—

They stepped forward.

Ready for what came next.
