When the smoke cleared,a deep black crack ran perfectly down the center of the cliff—half the arena in absolute darkness,the other bathed in blinding lightning.
"Now I understand,"
Jabar compressed his aura into what looked like a beating black heart.
"This fight is no longer a game...
Now only breaking remains."
"The game ended a long time ago,"
Aslam stated coldly,
his tattoos spewing electric fire.
"Now I am just writing your end."
"Do you think you are a lightning dog?!"
Jabar roared,
stomping the ground and bursting with shadow pressure.
"I am not a dog.
I am the judgment that erases darkness like you,"
Aslam advanced.
'ABYSS PRISON OVERLOAD'
Thousands of thick black chains fell simultaneously from the sky.
"ABYSS PRISON!!!"
They locked the entire battlefield inside a cage of death.
Aslam released a massive
'God Voltage Burst'.
The lightning violently cracked the chains,
but a second later,
they began to regenerate with dark energy.
Aslam realized this wasn't an attack type;
it was absolute space control.
"Erase me?!
TRY IT!"
Jabar laughed,
firing
'Shadow Spikes'
from the earth.
Aslam executed three consecutive
'Storm Steps',
dodging with terrifying perfection.
'Divine Breaker Charge'—
Aslam lunged forward with sky-shattering pressure.
Jabar grew serious for the first time and unleashed an
'Abyss Shot Storm',
firing thousands of dark bullets simultaneously.
Aslam didn't halt;
he activated
'Thunder Mirror Shift'.
Reality bent around him,
and all the bullets curved mid-air,
blasting into the surrounding walls and chains instead.
"This is not an attack,"
Aslam said as he walked through the chaos.
"It is just noise."
"NOISE?!"
Jabar's rage crossed all boundaries.
The two dashed at speeds that left only afterimages.
Aslam's Thunder Spear and Jabar's
'Abyss Blade'
violently collided—
KRRRRRRAAAASH!!!.
The cliff split open, dropping half the debris into the jungle below.
Locked in a
'Full Pressure Lock',
their absolute strengths clashed evenly.
Jabar's eyes shook for the first time,
"I have broken gods...
I will not fall!"
"Then today you will learn your limit,"
Aslam's voice was absolute.
"Today, the sky will watch a false god break."
'Thunder Wave'
and
'Abyss Wave'
detonated simultaneously in the center.
The entire cliff flashed black and white for a split second, followed by...
complete,
deafening silence.
When the light cleared,
the two stood on opposite sides.
Jabar was breathing heavily,
his dark energy dripping from his body like blood.
"Heh...
finally...
someone worth breaking,"
Jabar laughed.
"This was just the warm-up,"
Aslam replied,
his composure still entirely intact.
The battlefield was utterly destroyed,
and reality itself felt fractured.
But suddenly,
Jabar's shadow system began to severely glitch.
The darkness that always obeyed his commands began to stutter.
Jabar commanded,
"MOVE!",
but the shadows outright refused.
Suddenly,
a horrifying ejection occurred.
All of Jabar's dark energy was forcibly expelled from his body,
pooling into the air above him.
That black smoke began to contort and take the shape of a massive
'Humanoid Abyss Entity'.
Its face was hollow and lifeless, and a cracked black core beat in the center of its chest,
sustaining its existence.
Jabar stepped back in shock and fury,
"What is that?!
I never created something like this..."
And at that exact moment—
due to the insane pressure of their previous clash—
the purple locket at Jabar's throat cracked.
A hairline fracture spread across the gem,
and then it SHATTERED completely like fragile glass!
The moment the locket broke,
Jabar's remaining aura control collapsed.
But along with it came the terrifying consequence he had feared for centuries
. The eighty years of age and time that the locket had forcibly held back crashed down upon him all at once.
His black hair turned white from the roots,
his skin wrinkled and thinned,
and his incredibly powerful hands withered into the frail,
veiny hands of an old man.
He looked down at his aged hands and the broken pieces of the locket on the ground.
"My time... my centuries of power...
broken in an instant?!
No... I cannot be erased!
Damn it... my limiter... broke,"
Jabar spoke in pain and shock.
But his deep red eyes remained as dangerous and predatory as ever.
He looked up at the Abyss Entity.
"If I can't control it anymore...
then I'll make it fight for me."
He attached his remaining, unstable dark chains to the Entity to anchor it and provide it with a target.
The Entity slowly turned toward Aslam,
cracking reality with every step it took.
Jabar had fallen to his knees.
"This is no longer my fight...
Now survive that thing."
Aslam gripped his spear tighter, his green eyes sharpening with absolute focus.
"So you separated your darkness...
Smart. But desperate."
"Good. Now I can erase it without interference."
The Entity surged forward like a natural disaster that only knew destruction.
Aslam instantly fired a .
'God Voltage Burst ,
but it had no effect on the entity;
its chains regenerated immediately.
Aslam realized this was not an attack type,
but a space-control type restricting his every movement.
Suddenly, the Entity raised its hand—
'CHAIN EXECUTION' -
'ABSOLUTE LOCK'.
Massive cursed chains erupted from the air and instantly bound Aslam's neck,
chest,
and wrists,
violently lifting him into the sky.
Aslam exerted his maximum electric force,
but he could not break free.
Then came the move that changed everything.
The chain wrapped around Aslam's right arm suddenly compressed with such sheer,
gravitational intensity that the very existence of bone and flesh was annihilated.
With a horrifying jolt,
Aslam's right arm was brutally crushed and torn from his body!
Blood and lightning erupted simultaneously into the air,
painting the space where his arm had been just a second prior.
Amidst the heavy bleeding and agonizing pain,
Aslam gritted his teeth and steadied his breathing.
"Just one arm...
do you think taking one arm breaks me?"
He refused to let fear conquer his mind.
"Good attack,"
he told himself.
"Pain level - high.
Stability - maintained.
If I panic... I lose.
Simple."
The Entity began to form a dark sphere to completely crush Aslam,
compressing the space around him.
But then, at the outer edge of that dark sphere, a massive explosion detonated.
And walking calmly through the smoke of that blast was a figure.
There was no panic or hesitation in his stride.
In his hand,
he held an Arabian curved steel Scimitar,
coursing with highly controlled Firework energy.
He wore white flowing cloth with royal red armor,
and the
'Red Gem Ring'
on his finger glowed like fire,
powering his attack boost.
His eyes held a cold,
disciplined calculation.
It was Maazin.
The Vice Captain of the Divine Disciples.
Maazin surveyed the Entity,
the black chains,
and Aslam's blood-soaked,
severed arm.
"High-level curse binding system,"
Maazin stated calmly.
"Removal authorized."
He extended his explosive blade.
"You built this cage with immense arrogance,
Jabar...
but the decree of death has arrived to sever these chains.
I do not fight chaos..."
Maazin took a step forward,
"...I correct it."
Maazin vanished instantly in an explosive zig-zag burst,
leaving only tiny detonations in his wake.
His curved blade swept through the air, slicing through three chains simultaneously.
The firework energy of the sword penetrated the exact weak points of the chains,
triggering a chain-reaction blast.
The indestructible sphere holding Aslam shattered into dust mid-air.
Freed, Aslam dropped to one knee on the ground,
breathing heavily and supporting himself with his left hand.
He looked up and smiled,
"You're late.
You always wait until I'm a spectacle,
Maazin."
Maazin calmly twirled his sword,
"I arrived exactly when failure began."
"Because the crowd only understands the value of a hero,
Aslam,
when the situation becomes worse than death.
One second later...
and you would have been gone."
Maazin stepped forward,
using precise slashes and calculated explosives to sever the remaining chains,
exactly like a surgeon removing a disease from a system.
The Entity began to recoil—not from damage,
but from the systematic destruction of its primary ability.
Aslam stood up using his one remaining arm.
The sky cracked open, and a fresh bolt of lightning struck his Thunder Spear directly,
recharging the weapon.
"This fight is not finished,"
Aslam stepped toward the Entity.
"Not even close."
Maazin pointed his scimitar toward the Entity and Jabar;
his red ring glowing brighter.
"We do not survive because we are strong..."
Maazin declared.
"...we survive because we do not accept endings."
"And anything that forces an ending...
I erase it."
On the left stood Aslam.
One arm.
Thunder spear raised.
Divine tattoos blazing.
Green eyes locked.
On the right stood Maazin.
Scimitar raised.
Firework energy running along its edge.
Red gem glowing.
In the center was the soulless Entity.
Hollow face.
Cracked core. Abyss leaking.
In the background knelt the aged Jabar.
On one knee.
Shattered locket pieces on the ground.
Eyes still calculating and incredibly dangerous.
Above them,
the sky had cracked open in three separate places,
pouring lightning and shadow down upon the earth.
The question was no longer whether the two Divine Disciples could win this battle...
the question was what this victory would cost them.
"THE REAL LIMIT BREAK BEGINS NOW."
