Dantalion raised his hand, and hundreds of magic circles formed behind him. All of them activated at once.
"Multi-Cast: Absolute Field."
A dark field spread across the chamber, taking control of the ground, the walls, and even the air itself. Alan immediately felt the effect—his movements slowed, and his senses became dull.
Dantalion stepped forward.
"Now everything here follows my calculations."
He attacked.
Clang—!
Their swords collided, but the pressure was heavier than before. Dantalion continued attacking without pause.
Clang—!Clang—!
Each strike was precise, targeting weak points in Alan's defense. Alan blocked, but he was forced back step by step.
He adjusted his stance and moved forward.
"50,000 Army Overpowering Sword."
He swung.
BOOM—!
The attack landed. Dantalion blocked it, but the suppression effect activated, interrupting his skill flow for a moment.
Alan immediately closed the distance.
Clang—!Clang—!Clang—!
He attacked continuously, not giving Dantalion time to recover.
Dantalion's expression changed slightly. Then he raised his hand.
"…Override."
The suppression effect broke instantly.
He countered.
Clang—!
Alan was pushed back several meters before stopping.
He moved again without hesitation.
"200,000 Army Repelling Sword."
He swung.
BOOM—!
A powerful force hit Dantalion directly, pushing him across the chamber. His feet dragged along the ground, leaving a long crack behind him.
But he stabilized quickly.
"…Good force."
He pointed his sword forward. Multiple spells formed instantly around Alan.
"Dual Cast."
Spears of light and darkness appeared from all directions and shot toward him.
SHHH—!
Alan used Quick Step to dodge most of them, but a few still hit.
BOOM—!
His body was pushed back, and his armor cracked further. His HP dropped again.
He stabilized himself and moved forward once more.
Clang—!Clang—!Clang—!
Close combat resumed at a faster pace. Both of them attacked and blocked continuously.
Dantalion predicted most of the attacks, but Alan kept changing his rhythm and timing.
One strike slipped through.
Clang—!
A shallow cut appeared on Dantalion's arm, and dark energy leaked out.
Dantalion didn't react much. He stepped forward.
"…Enough testing."
His aura condensed sharply. All the magic circles behind him merged into a single, dense formation.
"Final Cut."
Energy gathered into his blade, and the pressure in the chamber increased again.
Alan felt the difference immediately.
He tightened his grip and stepped forward.
"200,000 Army Crushing Sword."
Both of them attacked at the same time.
BOOM—!!!
Their attacks collided directly. The chamber shook violently, the ground broke apart, and cracks spread across the walls.
For a moment, the two forces pushed against each other.
Then—
Explosion.
Both were thrown back.
Alan landed hard and slid across the broken ground.
Dantalion stepped back several steps before stopping.
Dantalion stopped after a few steps and looked at Alan again. The cracks on his body were still there, but they were slowly repairing.
"…You are holding well."
Alan stood up and steadied his breathing. His armor was damaged in several places, and his HP had dropped a lot, but his grip on Iyargut remained firm.
He didn't reply.
Instead, he stepped forward again.
Dantalion raised his sword.
This time, he didn't rush.
A thin layer of dark energy wrapped around Dantalion's blade, becoming denser and more controlled.
"…Analysis complete."
He moved.
Clang—!
Their swords collided again, but this time the flow of the fight changed. The moment Alan tried to follow up, Dantalion reacted faster.
Clang—!
He intercepted the next attack before it could fully form.
Alan shifted his angle.
Clang—!
Blocked again.
Another direction—
Clang—!
Blocked.
Every move was read in advance. Alan's attacks were stopped before they could develop into full strikes.
"…Your sequence is visible now."
Dantalion stepped in and attacked.
Clang—!
Alan blocked, but the impact pushed him back hard. Before he could stabilize, another strike came.
Clang—!Clang—!
He was forced into defense completely, his feet cracking the ground as he kept getting pushed back.
"…This is the difference."
A small magic circle appeared near Alan's blind spot.
BOOM—!
A short-range spell hit him directly and sent him sliding back several meters. His HP dropped further.
He stopped for a moment, then moved again, closing the distance.
"100,000 Army Blockade Sword."
He swung.
BOOM—!
The shockwave spread, and although Dantalion blocked it, the effect activated. His movement stopped briefly.
Alan stepped in immediately.
"200,000 Army Massacre Sword."
Energy gathered into Iyargut and was released in a massive red beam.
SHHHHH—!
Dantalion couldn't move or use skills. He raised his sword and took the attack head-on.
BOOM—!!!
The impact pushed him deep into the chamber, cracks spreading across his body as dark energy leaked out.
Alan moved forward to follow up—
But the effect broke.
Crack—
Dantalion stabilized mid-slide and stopped completely.
"…You are repeating the same pattern."
He moved faster this time.
Clang—!
Alan's next attack was intercepted instantly.
Then a counter came.
SHHH—!
A dark slash struck Alan across the chest, splitting his armor further and pushing him back again.
Dantalion stepped forward slowly.
"…Your output is dangerous."
His aura began to condense instead of spreading. The space around him distorted slightly as all his power gathered into one point.
"…So I will end it properly."
He raised his sword, and a dense, concentrated energy formed along its edge. It wasn't wide or explosive—just a single focused strike.
Alan looked at it and understood immediately.
This attack would not be easy to block.
He tightened his grip on Iyargut and prepared to meet it.
Alan stepped forward.
He didn't retreat.
He lowered his stance and focused everything on one point.
"200,000 Army Crushing Sword."
His grip tightened.
Dantalion moved at the same time.
Both swords moved toward each other.
Clang—!
For a moment, nothing happened.
Then—
BOOM—!!!
A concentrated explosion burst out from the point of contact. The ground beneath them shattered instantly, and cracks spread in all directions.
Both attacks pushed against each other.
Alan's blade trembled slightly.
Dantalion's attack pressed down with steady force.
The difference showed.
Alan's feet dug into the ground as he resisted, but he was slowly pushed back.
Crack—
The ground behind him broke as he slid.
His HP dropped again from the backlash of his own skill.
Dantalion stepped forward during the clash.
"…You are reaching your limit."
