Chapter 25: The Final Clash – Reo's Ultimate Magic

Zareth's grin widened, his black aura twisting violently, distorting the air like a storm. The Dark Knight of Oblivion wasn't holding back anymore.

Reo tightened his grip on his Shadow Blade. His newly boosted stats surged through his veins, making him faster, stronger—unstoppable.

BOOM!

Zareth disappeared, reappearing right in front of Reo, his blood-red sword cleaving downward.

Reo vanished at the last second, using Phantom Step, appearing behind Zareth.

But Zareth anticipated it.

His sword swung backward at an impossible angle, slashing at Reo's throat.

Reo ducked, barely avoiding the attack, and countered—

SLASH!

A massive dark wave erupted from his Shadow Blade, aimed directly at Zareth's chest.

BOOOOOM!

The attack struck Zareth head-on, sending him crashing through the battlefield, tearing through stone and debris.

Lucia gasped. "Did that—"

Zareth stood up.

He wiped black blood from his lips. "Not bad."

Then his aura exploded.

His entire body turned jet black, his sword growing larger, radiating pure destruction.

Celestia's eyes widened. "He's going into his final form."

Zareth smirked. "This is where the real battle begins."

Reo exhaled. His mana reserves were dropping fast. If this continued, he'd be out of energy soon.

I need to end this now.

Then—

Celestia's voice rang in his head.

"Reo, you have the ability to create magic spells."

Reo's eyes flickered. Create… magic?

Lucia's voice followed. "If you're going to make a spell, now's the time!"

Reo gritted his teeth.

He focused.

New spells… something powerful enough to stop Zareth completely.

Then, the words formed in his mind.

A spell that would completely paralyze an enemy.

A spell that could put someone into eternal sleep.

Reo smirked.

"Zareth." He raised his hand. "Game over."

A new magic circle formed beneath him, radiating overwhelming energy.

Zareth's instincts screamed. "What—?!"

Reo whispered the spell's name—

"Eternal Sleep."

A massive wave of golden and black energy surged forward, wrapping around Zareth.

His body froze.

His sword dropped.

His eyes closed.

And then—

BOOOOM!

Zareth collapsed, his body completely immobilized.

Lucia's eyes widened. "He… actually did it?"

Celestia smiled. "That's Reo for you."

Reo sighed, exhausted. He had won.

Zareth's body began to vanish, sealed into an eternal slumber.

But before disappearing, he smirked. "You're strong, Reo. But you're not ready for what's coming next."

Then, he was gone.

Reo clenched his fist. Not ready for what?

Celestia stepped forward. "Reo, there's something important I need to tell you."

Reo turned to her. "What is it?"

She smiled. "It's time to go on a new adventure. To another country."

Reo blinked. "A new country?"

Lucia grabbed his arm. "Then let's go! Who knows what kind of enemies we'll face there?"

Reo smirked. "Fine. Let's see what this world has in store for us next."
