Solaria and Lunara were beyond shocked when their carefully planned attack was effortlessly erased by Kallus’ spatial distortion. They had no idea that he possessed the Primordial Eye of Authority—a power that granted him dominion over space itself.
Had it not been for this ability, their strategy of overwhelming Kallus with their combined attack might have at least partially succeeded. But now, faced with the reality of his power, their fury only grew.
Their surprise quickly turned to fury as they saw him unleash his own attack—one so powerful that even their heightened senses screamed of its absolute annihilation. If they did not stop it, they knew there would be nothing left of them—not even enough to invoke their innate ability, Immortal Rebirth.

With a furious shriek, they prepared to counter.
Solaria and Lunara roared in unison, their combined voices shaking the battlefield itself.
Solaris’s Infernal Sun Flame flared with overwhelming intensity, igniting the very air itself.
In front of it, a sphere of pure, searing pure Infernal Sun Flames began to materialize before it, starting from the size of a human and growing rapidly -- until it reached a colossal 200 meters across.

At the same time, Lunara mirrored the action, summoning its own sphere of blazing energy—Eternal Frost Flame—and unlike Solari’s flame, Lunara burned with a cold, eerie radiance and absolute cold that seemed to drain the world of warmth itself. Despite their opposing natures, the two flames resonated in perfect harmony.
With unparalleled instinctive and flawless synchronization, Solaris and Lunara launched their attacks. From two spheres pillars surged forward of dark red and blue radiant energy twisting and intertwining as they merged into a single, violet beam—a fusion of Infernal Sun Flame and Eternal Frost Flame.
It tore through the air at blinding speed, racing straight toward the rift created by Kallus’s slash. And in less than a millisecond—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The battlefield erupted.
The battlefield trembled as the shockwave from the collision of Kallus’ True Destruction Katana Slash and the combined attack of Solaris, the Flame Empress, and Lunara, the Queen of Frost erupted outward.
For a brief moment, their attack successfully halted Kallus’ slash, suspending it in a fierce struggle of opposing forces.
But it didn’t last long though.
Slowly but surely, Kallus’ attack began to overpower them, cutting through their combined energy and pushing forward, though at a significantly reduced speed.
Seeing their attack being overwhelmed, Solaria and Lunara let out a powerful roar, pouring even more mana into their assault.
With a thunderous boom, the violent beam created by their fusion of Infernal flame and eternal frost flames expanded, surging with newfound power. The added force managed to further slowdown Kallus’ attack, but it did not stop.
Instead, it kept advancing.
Yet, Kallus’ True Destruction Energy within his slash was not infinite. As its power began to weaken and wane, its power was depleted under their relentless resistance. Finally, at the very brink—just as the attack was about to reach Solaris and Lunara—it fizzled out, its energy spent.
They had succeeded.
However, their victory came at a heavy cost.
Nearly 60% of their mana and strength had been drained, leaving them vulnerable despite holding their ground.
Meanwhile, both Solaris and Lunara had lost more than half of their mana and had only just narrowly escaped annihilation from Kallus’ True Destruction Slash, they still refused to fall. Their bodies trembled from the sheer exhaustion of sustaining such an immense attack, yet their wills burned as fiercely as ever.
And in that brief moment of weakness, it did not escape Kallus’ keen eye that they now had less than half of their original mana. And they were exhausted— consuming more than half of their mana instantly was no trivial feat. Defending against Kallus’ attack had taken its toll, and these mythical beasts would have to suffer the consequences.
And just like that, despite their exhaustion, Solaris and Lunara refused to waver. With sheer will and unshakable pride as Phoenixes, they stood their ground. The battle erupted with even greater intensity as they unleashed a barrage of elemental attacks. Fire and ice manifested around them—ice spears and fire lances forming in an instant before hurtling toward Kallus at extreme speed.
But Kallus did not keep them waiting. He reacted swiftly, countering with equal ferocity. Waves upon waves of lances and slashes, forged from pure energy, shot upward to meet their attacks head-on.
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Their attacks clashed in midair, detonating with catastrophic force. Clouds of destruction spread across the sky, pushing the very air itself away. The already fractured space shattered further, and the sheer force of the shockwaves obliterated the southern mountains caught within the immediate blast radius.
And so, the magical battle raged on—a relentless clash between Kallus, Solaris, and Lunara, shaking the very fabric of the world for nearly an hour.
Throughout their battle, they exchanged a relentless barrage of magical attacks—flame breaths, domain attacks, and countless other techniques. Yet, Kallus countered each one with unwavering precision, his mastery evident in every move.
He seamlessly adapted to their assault, sometimes responding with ranged attacks, conjuring a bow of condensed energy, and firing piercing arrows that sliced through the air with deadly accuracy.

Other times, he wielded elemental magic to overwhelm them, summoning a devastating lightning elemental Magic: Thunderstorm that crackled with violet lightning, its arcs splitting the battlefield with deafening roars.
But Solaris and Lunara were not so easily overpowered. With their overwhelming elemental might, they retaliated in kind, unleashing their own fearsome abilities.
Blazing Meteor, a spell cast by Solaris, summoned a barrage of fire-imbued meteors that rained from the heavens like divine punishment, scorching everything in their path.
Lunara, in turn, froze the very air with Glacial Wrath, forming massive ice spires that shot toward Kallus with unrelenting speed, seeking to pierce through his defenses.
The battlefield became a storm of destruction, a clash of forces that shook the heavens and sundered the land. Kallus, undeterred, met their attacks with equal force, slicing through meteors with precise energy slashes and shattering ice spires mid-flight with well-placed counterspells.
His relentless pressure kept the mythical Phoenixes on the defensive, forcing them into a cycle of attack and reaction, preventing them from regaining their lost strength.
Though they regenerated instantly from his inflicted wounds, their mana reserves told a different story.
With every spell cast and every counter unleashed, their energy steadily drained, wearing them down. The battle was no longer just a contest of strength—it was a war of endurance, and Kallus held the upper hand.
After an hour of relentless combat, the battlefield lay in utter devastation. The once-flat plains were now scarred with massive craters and deep fissures, remnants of the overwhelming forces unleashed.
Some areas were encased in jagged ice, others burned with smoldering dark-red flames, while patches of scorched earth still crackled with lingering traces of thunder. The very land bore witness to the ferocity of the clash.
Amidst the destruction, Kallus stood tall—his posture relaxed yet unwavering, his head tilted slightly upward as he gazed at Solaris and Lunara.
The mythical Phoenixes, once radiant and majestic, were now beyond exhaustion. Their once-dominant presence had faded; their once-blazing flames flickered weakly, threatening to extinguish at any moment. Their wings, which had once illuminated the battlefield with an awe-inspiring glow, now trembled.
Yet their eyes still burned with fury, locked onto Kallus with unspoken blame, as if demanding retribution for their suffering.
Kallus’ lips twitched. With a blink, he muttered, "Why are you looking at me like that, huh? It’s not my fault, okay? I have to pass this trial anyway. If you want to blame someone, blame whoever made the rules. Hmph."
On the surface, he maintained his usual composed demeanor, but internally, he was anything but calm. He knew all too well that Solaris and Lunara had one final trump card—one they had yet to use. Their unique fusion ability.
Despite being cornered, this technique would undoubtedly change the tide of battle, and Kallus knew it. One of the key reasons he hadn’t finished them off earlier was that he didn’t want to force them into using fusion too soon.
While it would drastically amplify their power, restoring their mana to its peak and putting them on equal footing with him, there was a crucial drawback—it wouldn’t erase their exhaustion.
Their fusion was still incomplete; they had yet to fully master this unique spell. And Kallus was betting on that imperfection to turn the tide in his favor.
