The jungle trembled as Varom Tremis stepped onto the territory of a true Conqueror. At just 19, he bore the legendary Quake Necklace, veins pulsing with electric-blue energy.
A massive shadow fell across his path. Rygar Veyran, a mountain of a man and one of the 8 Conquerors of the Seas, towered over him, hammer resting on his shoulder.
"So… you're that brat?" Rygar's deep voice rumbled like a landslide.
Varom met his gaze without flinching. "I'll take you down… today."
Rygar's lips curled into a grin. With a deafening roar, he slammed his gigantic hammer into the ground. THUD! The shockwave shattered trees, sent birds scattering, and shook the island to its very core.
Varom didn't flinch. His energy flared brighter, blue lightning coursing through his body. He lunged forward, fists clashing against Rygar's core. Cracks ripped through the air. BOOM! Rygar was slammed backward, ribs splintering under the force.
"This kid… is powerful," Rygar muttered, wiping blood from his mouth with the back of his hand.
Varom soared into the sky, the raging sea below attempting to swallow him whole. Waves crashed and churned, but with a roar of defiance, he broke free midair, landing on the island with a thunderous THUD.
"Give it up, geezer," Varom said, his voice calm yet filled with quiet fury.
Rygar struggled to his feet, chest heaving, and a smirk appeared despite the pain. This battle was far from over, but one thing was clear: Varom Tremis had announced himself as a force to be reckoned with, and the era of the Conquerors had just gained a new storm.
This Battle Decides if the new generation really is capable of defeating the current legends.
