"ASHER,got you mind together" Selina screamed "don't let him get into your head " she said then suddenly talon conjured a spear from air and with an snap of his fingers struck it into Selina's heart.
--------__---------____-------___-----
Blood splattered across the cold stone floor.
Sellina's body collapsed, the gleaming spear of energy still embedded in her chest. Her breathing was shallow, her once bright eyes fading into a dull, lifeless stare.
"No… no… no… NOOO!"
Asher's scream ripped through the throne room, shaking the very foundation of the palace. He dropped to his knees, reaching out with trembling hands as he cradled her limp body. The warmth was already fading from her skin.
Talon stood a few steps away, twirling another conjured spear between his fingers. A cruel smile curled on his lips.
"I expected more from you, Asher," he sneered. "You're weak. And your weakness—" He pointed at Sellina's lifeless form. "—is what brings you down."
Asher's breath came in ragged gasps. His mind screamed at him to move, to fight, to do distroy—but all he could see was her.
Lying there.
Dying.
His inner demon spoke.
" show him, show him that your strength is what makes you compassionate and weak but you weaknes is what makes you a ...
__DEMON OF DISTRUCTION__ "
A slow, agonizing rage built in his chest, growing like a storm ready to consume everything in its path. The palace trembled as his energy erupted, the weight of his fury pressing down on the battlefield.
Talon smirked, taking a step forward. "Are you done crying, or should I give you a moment?"
That was the last straw.
The ground beneath Asher shattered.

A deep, menacing glow spread from Asher's body. His mask darkened, the green stripes along its surface pulsing like a heartbeat. His chains hummed with unnatural energy, vibrating as if alive.
Then his eyes snapped open—glowing red with unfiltered rage.
Talon barely had time to react before Asher swung.
The force of the strike tore through the air, splitting the throne room in half. Talon raised his spear to block, but the moment Asher's weapon connected—the spear snapped like a tooth pick"
BOOM!
The impact sent Talon flying, his body crashing into the farthest wall, leaving a deep crater in the stone. Blood dripped from his lips as he struggled to stand.
"Yes…" Talon wiped the blood from his chin, grinning like a madman. "Yes, this is what I wanted!"
He staggered forward, his fingers twitching with power. "I've always wanted to see what you're truly capable of, Asher! And now—"
SHIING!
Dozens of spears materialized around him, spinning in the air like a violent storm of blades. With a flick of his wrist, the weapons rained down upon Asher like a divine execution." I get to witness this"
But Asher didn't even flinch.
His chains moved.
In an instant, they snapped outward, intercepting every single spear with deadly precision. The weapons were thrown aside, embedding themselves in the walls, floor, and ceiling, but not a single one touched him.
Talon's grin faltered. "Impossible…"
Asher stepped forward, his voice calm—but filled with something terrifying.
"I was going to defeat you and imprison you."
The glow from his chains intensified, the sheer force of his power pressing down on Talon like a crushing weight.
"But now I see the truth."
Another step. The palace shook.
"You're not a king."
His chains lashed out, carving through the throne behind Talon like butter.
"You're not a ruler."
Talon raised another spear, aiming to impale Asher again.
But Asher was already there.
"You are worse than a virus."
His chains ripped through the air.
[AND PARASITE LIKE YOU DON'T
DESERVE TO EXIST ]
--
The next moments were pure carnage.
Asher moved with inhuman speed, his chains tearing through Talon's defenses as if they didn't exist. Every strike shattered the ground, every movement sent waves of destruction through the castle.
Talon dodged, weaved, and counterattacked—but nothing worked.
Asher was faster.
Stronger.
Relentless.
Each chain strike sent Talon reeling, blood spilling from fresh wounds. His armor cracked, his magic faltered, and his once-unbreakable confidence began to crumble.
With one final desperate act, Talon summoned a colossal spear, its size dwarfing the battlefield itself. It pulsed with enough energy to destroy the entire palace.
"This is your end, Asher!" Talon roared, hurling the spear forward.
The weapon streaked through the air like a comet, its sheer force warping the space around it.
But Asher didn't back down.
Instead, he redirected it.
With a flick of his wrist, his chains wrapped around the spear, twisting it off-course. The colossal weapon veered sideways—crashing into the palace walls and sending an explosion of rubble across the battlefield.
Talon's eyes widened in disbelief. "No… way…"
Before he could react, Asher was already in front of him.
A blur of chains. A crack of power.
Talon never stood a chance.
---
Talon staggered, his body covered in wounds, blood dripping onto the cracked marble beneath him. His strength was failing.
He looked up to see Asher—standing tall, unshaken, unstoppable.
Talon coughed, his lips curling into a bitter smile. "Wait… wait… Asher, listen to me—"
Asher didn't listen.
"Like I said ,You're a parasite."
The chains struck.
With one final, devastating attack, Asher's chains wrapped around Talon's body—and crushed him.
BOOOOM!
The palace trembled as Talon's body was hurled into the ground, the sheer impact sending a shockwave across the battlefield. Dust and debris filled the air, the remnants of their battle settling in eerie silence.
When the dust cleared, Talon lay motionless—defeated.
And Asher stood over him.
Breathing heavily.
His eyes still glowing.
His rage still burning.
But even as he looked down at his fallen enemy, a hollow feeling crept into his chest.
Was this truly victory?
