Arcane Drifters – Chapter 111: "The Throne Shatters"
The Arcane King steps forward.
With each step, the ground below him ceases to exist — not crumbles, not burns, but simply… isn't there anymore.
His presence is heavier than gravity, darker than shadow.
Shen's swords hum in his hands, as if even steel knows this is the moment they were forged for.

🌌 The First Move
The King doesn't raise a hand.
He doesn't chant a spell.
He simply blinks.
And Shen is thrown through four layers of reality — smashing into the sky, bouncing off it like glass, and plummeting back down.
The impact shakes the entire Realm.
From the distance, Kenya yells through the communicator:
> Kenya:
"Shen! Don't go head-to-head! That thing's beyond power—"
Shen coughs blood, pushes himself up, and smirks.
> Shen:
"Perfect. I'm beyond limits."

⚔️ Clash of Two Worlds
Shen dashes forward, Supreme Lord Eye glowing gold-blue.
The Arcane King meets him in the center of the collapsing realm.
Their swords and magic collide — but the sound isn't thunder.
It's silence.
The kind of silence that swallows thought.
Each strike they trade erases miles of terrain.
Every swing from the King bends time — Shen's form flickers between past, present, and future just to dodge.

🔥 On the Ground
Below them, chaos rages.
Kenya takes on AR-185, his Fire Demon Form 3 igniting the battlefield in crimson storms.
Eliz channels Death Cyclone Magic, holding back four Arcane Lords at once, screaming defiance through gritted teeth.
Ruke blasts arcs of Dragon Thunder, electrifying dozens of shadow generals in one sweep.
Still, the enemy numbers seem endless.

💀 The King's Second Strike
The Arcane King finally speaks during battle.
> Arcane King:
"You are not like the others. You are… dangerous."
He waves a single finger.
Suddenly — Shen's Dark Mage Form peels away, stripped by sheer will.
But Shen laughs.
> Shen:
"You think that was my only card?"
His aura erupts — a storm of black and gold fire.
His muscles tighten, his eyes blaze.
Even the King steps back a fraction.
---
⚡ The Awakening
For the first time, Shen draws magic directly from the Arcane Throne Realm itself.
Every broken piece of reality spins around him, fusing into his aura.
A voice echoes in his head — not the King's, but something older.
> Voice:
"Shen Karguro… this is the beginning."
And in that moment — his power spikes beyond Dark Mage Form 3.
---
Shen lifts his swords.
> Shen:
"Let's end this throne… and your reign."
The Arcane King smiles — the kind of smile that means he's been waiting for this.
