*Clang!*
*Boom!*
Almond's sword clashed against Galvaren's, sending bursts of golden lightning and crimson-black energy into the air, their power creating violent shockwaves with each impact.
"Good!" Almond grinned as he gripped his heavy broadsword, its blade crackling with arcs of golden lightning that danced fiercely along its edge.
He stood firm, sweat beading on his brow as the oppressive heat radiating from Galvaren bore down on him. The air between them shimmered with elemental tension—fire and lightning preparing to collide.
Ten meters ahead stood Galvaren. He was a towering humanoid monster whose semi-armored body was covered in jagged, molten-black scales streaked with glowing crimson veins. His massive, leathery wings extended from his back, trailing smoke and embers with every movement, slicing through the air like fiery scythes.
