As the battle between Liu and Kai reaches its climax, the gate that holds back the beasts of the dungeon suddenly shatters, unleashing a horde of ferocious creatures upon the city. The skies darken as winged beasts swoop down, their piercing cries echoing through the streets. The ground trembles as massive, scaled creatures emerge from the depths of the dungeon, their jaws gaping wide with hunger.
Mei's eyes widen in horror as she gazes upon the chaos unfolding before her. "No... this can't be happening!"
Liu's face sets in determination. "Mei, we have to get out of here, now!"
But it's too late. The beasts are already upon them, their claws and teeth snapping wildly. Liu and Mei are forced to fight for their lives, their weapons flashing in the fading light.
Kai watches the chaos with a twisted grin, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. "This is the true power of Ignis," he cackles. "And soon, the entire city will burn!"
As the beasts continue to ravage the city, the Hunter's Guild deploys additional S-Rank hunters to aid in the battle. The streets become a chaotic battleground, with hunters and beasts clashing in a frenzy of steel and claw.
Liu and Mei fight valiantly, their weapons slicing through the air with deadly precision. But despite their skill, they struggle to gain ground against the sheer number of beasts.
Kai watches the battle with an amused smile, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. He seems to be enjoying the chaos he has unleashed.
"You fools," he sneers. "You think you can stop me? I have the power of Ignis on my side!"
With a wave of his hand, Kai summons a massive dragon from the depths of the dungeon. The beast is enormous, its scales as black as coal, its eyes glowing with fiery intensity.
The dragon breathes a stream of fire that engulfs the city, reducing buildings to ashes and turning the streets into a inferno. Liu and Mei leap back, their faces scorched by the heat.
"This is insane!" Mei cries. "We can't keep this up!"
Liu grits his teeth. "We have to! We can't let Kai win!"
But despite their determination, the hunters are slowly being pushed back. The beasts are too numerous, too powerful. Kai's magic seems to be growing stronger by the minute.
As the battle rages on, the city burns around them. The skies are filled with the screams of the terrified populace, the streets choked with the bodies of the fallen.
Liu and Mei fight on, their weapons trembling with exhaustion. But Kai remains unfazed, his eyes burning with an otherworldly energy.
"You are no match for me," he sneers. "I will reduce this city to ashes, and no one will be able to stop me!"
The battle rages on, with Liu and Mei fighting valiantly but struggling to gain ground against Kai's overwhelming power. Despite their best efforts, they find themselves being pushed back, their weapons trembling with exhaustion.
Kai's magic seems to be growing stronger by the minute, his attacks becoming more intense and unpredictable. He summons wave after wave of fireballs, each one exploding with devastating force and sending the hunters flying.
Liu and Mei stumble back, their armor scorched and blackened, their bodies bruised and battered. They're running out of options, and they know it.
"We need to end this, now!" Liu shouts, his voice hoarse from the smoke and heat.
Mei nods, her eyes blazing with determination. "Let's do it!"
With a fierce cry, the two hunters launch themselves at Kai, their weapons flashing in the dim light. But Kai is ready for them, his eyes gleaming with malevolence.
"You fools," he sneers. "You think you can defeat me? I have the power of Ignis on my side!"
With a wave of his hand, Kai summons a massive blast of flame, one that engulfs Liu and Mei and sends them flying across the battlefield.
As they struggle to get back to their feet, Kai begins to chant in a voice that grows louder and more intense. The air around him begins to distort and ripple, as if reality itself is bending to his will.
"What's he doing?" Mei cries, her voice trembling with fear.
Liu's eyes are fixed on Kai, his face grim. "I don't know, but we have to stop him!"
Liu charges his sword with qi and attacks Kai with a powerful strike, but Kai is too quick and manages to evade the attack. With a swift motion, Kai sends Liu flying into a nearby building, the hunter's body crashing through the wall with a loud thud.
Mei's eyes widen in horror as she sees Liu's body lying motionless amidst the rubble. She knows she has to act fast to save her friend and turn the tide of the battle.
With a fierce cry, Mei launches herself at Kai, her sword flashing in the dim light. But Kai is ready for her, his eyes gleaming with malevolence as he summons a wave of fire to block her attack.
The flames engulf Mei's sword, and she's forced to retreat, her weapon trembling with the force of the blow. Kai takes advantage of the opening and strikes Mei with a powerful blast of magic, sending her flying across the battlefield.
As Mei struggles to get back to her feet, Kai begins to chant in a voice that grows louder and more intense. The air around him begins to distort and ripple, as if reality itself is bending to his will.
"Liu, no!" Mei cries, her voice trembling with fear. "Don't let him finish the spell!"
But Liu is still lying motionless, his body battered and bruised. Mei knows she has to act fast to save him and stop Kai's evil plan.
Mei's eyes widen in shock as she realizes the true extent of Kai's plan. "You can't be serious!" she exclaims. "Merging the dimensions would destroy entire worlds!"
Kai's expression remains cold and detached. "I am perfectly serious," he replies. "And it is necessary. The dimensions are already collapsing, and this is the only way to save them."
Mei shakes her head, horrified. "You're mad!" she cries. "You can't just sacrifice entire worlds like that!"
Kai's eyes flash with anger, and he raises his hand to strike Mei down. But then, he seems to hesitate, and his expression changes to one of curiosity.
"Tell me, Mei," he says. "What do you know of the dimensions and their collapse?"
Mei hesitates, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Kai's expression makes her trust him, and she begins to explain.
"The dimensions are like layers of a cake," she says. "Each one is separate, but they're all connected. And when one layer collapses, it affects all the others."
Kai nods, his eyes gleaming with interest. "Go on," he says.
Mei hesitates, but then continues. "I've seen it happen before," she says. "Worlds disappearing, entire civilizations gone in an instant. And I know it's happening again, right now."
Kai's expression changes, and for a moment, Mei sees a glimmer of doubt. But then, his face hardens, and he turns away.
"It doesn't matter," he says. "I will complete the spell, no matter what the cost."
Liu's attack catches Kai off guard, and his sword slices through the air, striking Kai's staff and sending it flying out of his hand. The spell is disrupted, and the distortion in the air begins to dissipate.
Kai's eyes widen in shock and anger as he stares at Liu, who is now standing tall, his sword still trembling with the force of the blow.
"You fool!" Kai snarls, his face twisted in rage. "You don't know what you've just done!"
Mei takes advantage of the distraction to scramble to her feet and join Liu's side. Together, they face Kai, who is now crackling with dark energy.
"We're not going to let you continue with your evil plan," Liu declares, his sword at the ready.
Kai's response is a cold, mirthless laugh. "You think you can stop me? I have the power of Ignis on my side!"
With a wave of his hand, Kai summons a blast of dark energy that sends Liu and Mei flying across the battlefield. As they struggle to get back to their feet, Kai begins to chant once more, his voice growing louder and more intense.
