Chapter starts on the desolate planet Kurayami. The air is tense with an impending clash of titans. Zenithar, the guardian of the Void Key, unleashes his Abyssal Ascension form, his power surging to its peak. Across from him stands Malgarius, the sinister head of the Shadow Cult.
With a thunderous roar, Zenithar charges at Malgarius, his fists a blur as he launches a barrage of punches. But Malgarius, an adept fighter, effortlessly evades each strike. Zenithar's energy wanes rapidly, exhaustion taking hold.
Malgarius smirks, taunting Zenithar, "A pitiful display, Guardian. If you're meant to protect the key, you must do better."
Gasping for breath, Zenithar retorts through gritted teeth, "Even if I fall, you won't leave this place alive."
Zenithar makes one last desperate run at Malgarius, running low on energy, unable to fly. Malgarius easily catches Zenithar's punch and starts crushing his hand. Zenithar's pain is palpable as he cries out.
Malgarius tightens his grip, now choking Zenithar with a malevolent grin, goading him to show his resolve. He then hurls Zenithar aside, sending the guardian tumbling through the darkened landscape.
As Zenithar struggles to rise, his gaze shifts toward Selene, who watches with anger burning in her eyes. Selene raises her ki, her energy surging as she prepares to confront Malgarius. She unleashes her signature move, the Nightfall Strike, a technique that enhances the power and precision of her strikes.
With a furious assault, Selene launches herself at Malgarius. He accepts the blow head-on, his dark aura absorbing the attack. When the dust settles, Malgarius stands unscathed, his menacing presence undiminished.
Malgarius taunts Selene, "Impressive display of dust, I must say." His grin widens, a wicked glint in his eyes.
Undeterred, Selene prepares for another strike, unleashing her ki with even greater intensity. But Malgarius counters with his Nether Grasp, conjuring massive shadowy hands that reach out to immobilize her. Selene gasps for air as the dark tendrils wrap around her, squeezing with unrelenting force.
Zenithar, refusing to yield, charges Malgarius once more, attempting to divert his attention. But Malgarius effortlessly kicks him aside, then pierces Zenithar with a devastating Shadow Bolt. Zenithar's body trembles as he pukes blood, his last words echoing, "You will not win, Malgarius."
Malgarius raises his hand and conjures a colossal ki blast, a swirling maelstrom of darkness and despair. The blast obliterates Zenithar, leaving nothing behind but echoes of his determination.
The chapter concludes with Malgarius standing victorious, Selene immobilized, and the fate of the Void Key hanging in the balance.
