Ivan staggered back, his shield cracking but holding. His eyes burned with madness. "You think your tricks can stop me?!" He raised his hand, and dark lightning gathered above him, forming a massive spear of condensed demonic energy. "Let's see you survive this!"
The spear shot toward Aiden like a comet, its sheer force warping the space around it. Aiden's Spirit Sense screamed a warning, but he stood his ground. He raised his hand, summoning the Destiny Thread of Million Miracles, weaving golden threads of fate around him.
The spear struck, but instead of exploding, the threads coiled around it, twisting its trajectory. Aiden redirected the attack back at Ivan, the spear turning into a spiral of chaotic energy.
Ivan's eyes widened. "Impossible!" He barely managed to dodge, the attack grazing him and ripping through his left shoulder.
