The next night, the rival reappeared. His aura radiated immense power, stronger than before.
"You've improved," the boy said, eyes glowing red. "But are you ready to face me properly?"
[System Alert: Rival Encounter – Final]
Objective: Survive and defeat rival
The city streets became their battlefield. Shadows collided as the two System Users clashed.
Ayan used everything he had learned:
Shadow Step – Level 3 for teleportation and speed
Shadow Kick – Level 2 for mid-air strikes
Shadow Punch – Level 2 for concentrated energy hits
Shadow Guard to block deadly attacks
The rival smiled, impressed. "You're stronger than I thought…"
With one final coordinated combo, Ayan struck: Shadow Step behind → Shadow Kick → Shadow Punch. The rival staggered and finally fell to his knees.
He laughed softly. "You've earned this. I… I'll see you again, but for now… you win."
The rival vanished, leaving a calm but tense silence over the city.
Ayan stood in the dim streetlight, breathing heavily. His fists still glowed faintly.

Ayan smiled faintly. "I'm ready… for whatever comes next."
