Plamen didn't move. Couldn't.Ivet's body was still warm in his arms, but her eyes… empty. The silence pressed in on him until it felt like the whole world had stopped breathing.
Sasho took one step forward. The blood on his hand caught the moonlight — deep crimson under the blood-red sky.
"Another one gone," Sasho said, voice low and almost amused. "You can join her if you like."
Plamen's shoulders shook. At first, it was silent — then a sound escaped his throat, not a sob, not a scream, but something in between. His grip tightened around Ivet's body before he gently set her down on the grass.
He stood. Slowly. Every motion deliberate.
"You've taken my friends. My family. My heart".
"His eyes lifted, locking on Sasho."You're not leaving here alive."
The ground trembled beneath him, heat rolling off his skin. His aura burned gold, brighter than the blood moon overhead.
Sasho tilted his head, smiling faintly.
" Finally… some spirit."
Plamen took a step forward — and the air between them cracked like glass.
"Everything will end here and now,prepare yourself." said Plamen coldly.
"I will like to see you try."
Plamen threw himself with no doubt about what Sasho can unleash.He wasn't thinking of anything in that moment.His only intention was to kill The Evil Being.
He tried to boost his punch by 25% to see if Sasho can endure it-but when he landed his shot,his arm broke in pieces.It shattered like a broken glass.
"I forgot to tell you that you can't touch me,my bad." said Saaho with a laugh.
Then Plamen stepped up-boosting his leg by 90%-unsuccesful again,his leg broke.
"Why? Why can't you just die!"
"Because its written in the Book of Olympus.I can't die by the hand of a mere mortal.Im immortal."
Then Plamen tried something new-a new spark in his ability.He manifested a giant spirit fist behind his back.A spirit that controls the power of a 100 gorillas.Power equivalent to a 5500 psi(pounds per square inch).
A mere human can withstand up to 1029 psi.
Meaning,his ability can crush his opponent with pressure 5 times stronger than the maximum amount a human can take.
But if its used,the user has 20 % chance to lose his power,meaning-Plamen was making a gamble.He was going all in.
A giant spirit hand appeared from behind.Gorila roars were heard.Plamen's eyes-red.He was locked in.
Sasho? He was standing steady and unfazed by the amount of pressure he was undergoing.It was like a child's game for him.
Plamen striked.No effect-his hand was covered in blood.The punch didn't land.
Sasho then replied: "With that mere power of yours,you stand no chance to defeat me!"
Then he started rising.Lightnings started falling from the sky.His eyes became charged with electricity.He was using The Stadium's energy.Here was his domain.Where he could shine the brightest.
An earthquake began.Shadows covered in electricity appeared from the ground.One by one.
Then they charged against Plamen.He tried to blow them off,but they were too many.They got him eventually.
"That's the end for you too,my friend."
Then a giant black lightning struck Plamen.
He was dead.
At least….for now.
Sasho turned his back on Plamen.He was done with his job.
He flew back to the Forth dimension.
Rain started falling.The sky became dark and cloudy.
Then,a mysterious black figure appeared.It was a man.He was wearing a hat and cane.He came closer to Plamen.It was a old man.But not ordinary old man.
He was the forbidden Sensei.A was hunched over.
Then the rain stopped.The Sensei talked.
"You did good Plamen.Now its time for me to give you the life you deserve."
"Live."
Plamen woke up.
A miracle happened.He was alive.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Im…alive?"
"Yes,and it has its reason.You have to live.Only you can defeat him."
"I will train you. Well,not actually me,but I will show you where…"
"The legendary…Kronoshpan."
"A place where only the strongest one could survive.Only the chosen ones.You are one of them.Survive."
"You will be put through one of the hardest battles in your life.But you have to endure it.So you can become stronger."
"I will."
