บท 2: Round 2: Reality's Rumbling Remix
The world warped around me like taffy pulled and twisted by an unseen hand. Walls morphed into ceilings, gravity danced a jig, and my reflection sneered across the battlefield, a mockery of my own confusion. This wasn't a fight anymore; it was a descent into madness, orchestrated by the shadowy Time Weaver lurking on the periphery.
Panic clawed at my throat, cold and clammy. My vision swam, the scent of burnt metal sharp in my nostrils. But somewhere, deep within the swirling chaos, a spark of defiance flared. This wasn't over. Not yet.
With a guttural roar, I dug deep, summoning the iron will forged in a thousand trials. Clenching my teeth, I focused on the rhythm of my own breath, the steady thud of my heart. The world steadied, the illusory landscapes melting away to reveal the churning vortex of the Nexus once more.
Across the void, my copy grinned, his amusement a razor-sharp blade twisting in my gut. "Lost already, brother?" he taunted, his voice echoing through the swirling chaos.
"Not a chance," I growled, the word a battle cry that ripped through the haze. My grip on my katana tightened, the familiar weight a grounding anchor in the swirling storm. He wanted me disoriented, lost in the maze of his twisted reality. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.
The air crackled with raw energy as we clashed again, steel singing its deadly song. This time, I was ready. Each parry, each riposte, was a dance against oblivion, a battle for control not just over the Nexus, but over my own sanity. Time Weaver wove his machinations around us, but I kept my eyes on the prize: my reflection, the twisted echo that held the key to unraveling his web of lies.
We dueled across the churning void, our blades flashing lightning through the inky blackness. He was my equal, mirror image in skill and power, but I had something he lacked: the will to resist, the burning hunger for freedom. One by one, I systematically dismantled his illusions, tearing through the fabric of his warped world with each well-placed blow.
He stumbled, frustration warping his features. Time Weaver, sensing the shift, lashed out, aiming a bolt of raw energy at my back. But I was one step ahead. With a lightning-fast maneuver, I spun, deflecting the attack with my blade, the searing energy singing as it shot past my ear.
"You can't win, Jikirukuto!" Time Weaver boomed, his voice resonating from the shadows. "Embrace the chaos, become one with the Nexus!"
His words were venom, dripping with a seductive power. But I wouldn't give in. This wasn't just about me; it was about protecting everything I held dear. With a renewed surge of determination, I pressed the attack, pushing my clone back towards the swirling vortex.
He faltered, fear flickering in his mirrored eyes. Victory was within reach, I could feel it. But just as I lunged for the final blow, the world dissolved around me. The ground beneath my feet vanished, replaced by an inky black abyss. Time and space twisted into an impossible knot, and I plummeted into the unknown, the taste of victory turning to ash in my mouth.
Had I won? Or had I merely fallen deeper into Time Weaver's web? The answer was lost in the darkness, leaving me with only one chilling question echoing in the void: Was this the end, or merely the beginning of a far more treacherous game?
Cliffhanger: Did Jikirukuto truly defeat his clone, or is he now trapped in another reality, a pawn in Time Weaver's grand scheme?
