The Ruins Collapse Into Battle
The ground of the
Aeralis Ruins
shook violently.
Pillars cracked.
Ancient symbols burned with light and shadow.
At the center—
The fractured seal between
Ignis
Vernix
pulsed like a heartbeat.
Between them—
Two forces stood.
Lunashade
Shiny Lunashade
Elior stepped forward.
"…I won't let you use it."
Across from him—
Calm.
Unshaken—
Umbrael replied:
"…You already are."
Without warning—
Both trainers raised their hands.
"Lunashade—move!"
"Shatter him."
The two Lunashades vanished—
Then collided mid-air.
BOOM—
Dark energy exploded across the chamber.
The ruins trembled harder.
Each movement matched.
Each strike mirrored.
But the difference was clear—
Elior's Lunashade—
Fighting to maintain control.
Umbrael's Lunashade—
Moving flawlessly.
No hesitation.
No resistance.
Elior gritted his teeth.
"…Stay focused!"
But every clash pushed Lunashade closer to instability.
Umbrael didn't even raise his voice.
"…You're still holding back."
"You're afraid of its power."
Elior froze for a split second.
That hesitation—
Was enough.
Umbrael's Lunashade struck—
A clean, devastating hit.
Lunashade was thrown back—
Crashing into the ground.
Elior React
"…Lunashade!"
It struggled to rise—
Aura flickering violently again.
The energy around it twisted—
Darkness surging outward.
"…Yes."
A faint smile.
"Let it out."
Lunashade roared—
Its form beginning to distort again—
Lunashade Abyss Form
Uncontrolled Power
The chamber darkened instantly.
The resonance between both Lunashades intensified.
From behind—
Dr. Vael shouted:
"Stop this!"
"You're accelerating the awakening!"
Then suddenly the Seal React
The crack between
Ignis
Vernix
split further—
Light and darkness spilling out uncontrollably.
"…No…"
Elior stepped forward again.
"…Not like this!"
Umbrael stay Calm and....
"…You can't stop it anymore."
A pause.
"This is what it was meant for."
Umbrael raised his hand—
Both Lunashades resonated even stronger.
"…Two vessels."
"…One abyss."
The energy between them surged—
Linking directly to the seal.
From within the crack—
A form began to emerge.
Still incomplete.
Still forming.
But its presence—
Was overwhelming.
The chamber reached its breaking point.
Stone shattered.
Light flickered.
Darkness consumed everything.
A massive shadow hand pushed outward from the cracked seal—
Reaching into the world.
And Umbrael whispered:
"…Wake."
And the journey continues.....
