Arcane Drifters – Chapter 114: "Crownfall"
The Supreme Lord Eye blazes — its twin rings of gold and blue spinning so fast the air bends.
Shen launches forward, swords blurring, each strike faster than thought.
The Arcane King meets him in the center of the shattered sky.
Their clash shakes the Realm apart — every collision splitting and sewing reality back together in the same heartbeat.

⚔️ The Breakthrough
Shen feints left, vanishes, and appears behind the King.
His blades slash across the crystal ribs, sending a shockwave that knocks the King a step back.
> Arcane King:
"Impressive… but you are still mortal."
> Shen:
"Not anymore."
Shen drives his swords into the ground — runes explode outward in a massive circle.

🌑 Sealbreaker Finale
The magic rises — black and gold fire curling into a crown-shaped aura above Shen.
The Crown Breaker spell surges again, denser, hotter, louder.
The King raises his void-forged blade and charges, but Shen is already there —
meeting him in the air, sparks raining across the dying Realm.
They trade hundreds of strikes in seconds.
Each hit cracks the King's armor a little more.

💥 The Final Blow
Shen focuses everything — life, magic, soul — into his next swing.
> Shen:
"𝘌𝘯𝘥… 𝘖𝘧… 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦!"
The twin blades cross through the King's chest.
The crystal heart inside shatters with a sound like breaking stars.
The Arcane King's eyes widen.

🌌 The Fall
The void crown above him crumbles.
His silver form collapses to its knees.
Light bursts from the cracks in his armor, scattering into the sky.
The Generals vanish.
The Lords disintegrate.
The Realm begins to heal.
Shen stumbles back, panting — but smiling faintly.
> Shen:
"…It's over."
