The rain-soaked streets of Elystria Prime grow colder, shadows twisting unnaturally as a towering figure steps from the darkness—the Abyss Order Master. Cloaked in black energy, his presence warps reality around him.
Kiyoto notices immediately:
> "So… you're the one behind all this," he murmurs, aura flaring subtly.
Mitsui, still trembling from the previous encounter, grips Kiyoto's sleeve.
> "He… he feels different… stronger," she whispers.
The Master smiles, a chilling grin that sends shivers down the spine.
> "So, this is the girl… the one whose Soulflux threatens to unbalance everything. Hand her over, boy, or face annihilation."
Kiyoto tilts his head, playful yet dangerous:
> "You think you can scare me? Cute. Let's see how you handle this."
The battle begins. Kiyoto's Pulse Mode Ascendant aura ignites, manipulating time loops, energy constructs, and dimensional rifts to counter the Master's attacks. Mitsui, encouraged by Kiyoto's confidence, tentatively releases a controlled wave of Soulflux, disrupting the Master's energy manipulation.
> Twist: The Abyss Order Master anticipates her moves—he isn't just strong, he's a strategist who adapts instantly. He freezes Mitsui's Soulflux mid-air, showing how dangerous the upcoming threat truly is.
Kiyoto steps forward, aura radiating impossibly bright energy:
> "You want her? You'll have to go through me… everything I am."
The chapter ends with a massive clash of energy, Kiyoto vs. the Abyss Order Master, while Mitsui watches, realizing she's far from safe and far from ordinary.
