Breaking Limits
Kael felt the pressure building inside him.
The commander's strength forced him to push beyond his current limits.
Each exchange of blows sent waves of energy across the chamber.
His body was starting to feel the strain.
But the Abyss Ring reacted again.
Dark energy surged even stronger.
Kael's vision sharpened.
His movements became faster.
More precise.
For a brief moment—
Everything slowed down.
The commander's blade moved toward him.
Kael sidestepped it effortlessly.
He counterattacked.
The strike landed.
A shallow cut appeared on the commander's armor.
Silence filled the battlefield.
The hunters stared in disbelief.
The commander looked at the damage.
Then he smiled.
"Well done."
Kael's breathing grew heavier.
But his eyes burned with determination.
"I told you…"
"I'm not done yet."
