Neo's lung exploded as he took his last breath in the real world, before a steely darkness crushed his vision. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing above a cosmic mirror—a purple sky bleeding broken moons, the ground beneath his feet the shards of dead stars flying like black ash. The air was thick with the hum of an unseen danger, and the stench was as if the place were built from the corpses of gods.
The attack began without warning. From the black void, hundreds of wormholes opened, spewing waves of Shadow Ghouls. These creatures were nothing but masses of rotting black flesh, dripping with a stinging golden liquid. Neo recoiled backward as his sword, the Venzdnow, sang a song of death—each slash that cleaved flesh unleashing a spray of hot golden blood that seared his skin. The ground split beneath his feet, cracks expanding like a spider spitting out its web, as he sparred to avoid the fangs that threatened to devour his legs.
"Faster, faster!" he shouted to himself, his leg muscles burning with exertion. He didn't notice that his eyes had begun to glow a faint golden color.
Before he could catch his breath, the ground shook. From the depths of the void rose a Crystal Golem with eyes like two sapphire oracles. The colossal beast's every step created an earthquake, unleashing shockwaves that toppled Neo like a leaf in a hurricane. The golem's first strike shattered three of Neo's ribs, his golden blood spurting out like a molten waterfall.
"No… not yet!" Neo roared as he enveloped his sword in Dark Elemental Shadow. He charged like lightning through a storm, each step leaving behind a golden flash and a wisp of burning dust. The first strike split the golem in half, but the wound didn't last… the severed parts transformed into a swarm of crystal scorpions that lunged at him.
Three hours of hell. Neo's body became a map of vile wounds—a dislocated arm, a shattered eye, guts nearly falling out. Even his sword, the Venzdnow, began to scream with the voices of its ghosts.
At the height of his despair, he heard a giant heartbeat echoing in the void. The stars beneath his feet began to evaporate, the air turning into a viscous liquid. Before he knew it, the **Final Boss** emerged from a black hole expanding like a malignant cancer.
**Kenazworth - King of the Void** was not a body, but a disaster incarnate: wings of human bones, an endlessly circular mouth in which thousands of skulls were ground, and eyes from which melted lava of stolen golden blood.
"Finally... I found you, Saiyan Meal!" The monster roared with a sound like the roar of cosmic engines.
The battle was a walking nightmare. Every strike from Kenazworth unleashed shockwaves that transformed the ground into a network of deep fissures. Neo leaped among the flying rocky debris, each movement leaving behind a golden flash and air blasts. When danger intensified, Neo's eyes blazed like miniature suns—the Saiyan transformation beginning.
The corpses of the previous monsters rose from the ground, forming an army for the king. Neo sliced through them like a golden tornado, his sword severing dozens of heads per second. But Kenazworth was faster... his heavy claws crushed Neo's foot, bones turning to dust.
"That's all you have?" the monster sneered as it licked Neo's golden blood from its claws.
At the final moment, the latent energy exploded. Neo leaped high like a projectile, his sword fusing with the Void Element to form a tiny black hole. The final blow tore Kenazworth's body in half, but the surprise was in the blood... every drop of gold the beast had stolen from Neo turned into weapons stabbing at its very being.
The world collapsed like a shattered bottle. Neo found himself lying on the floor of his room, his body mangled like a petrified corpse, and the system's message flashed before him:
[Level 2 Complete] [Void Element Now ★★★☆☆]
[WARNING: THE FINAL BOSS HAS NOT BEEN DESTROYED... HE'S WATCHING!]
On the wall opposite his bed, golden blood stains form a hidden message:
"We'll meet again... my delicious meal."
