Chapter 25: Clash of Light and Darkness
The world shook.
Not slightly—
Violently.
As if the ground itself could no longer تحمل the power.
Light and darkness collided in the center.
Exploding outward.
A blinding flash—
Followed by a deafening silence.
For a moment—
Everything stopped.
Then—
BOOM!
The force erupted again.
Meera stood at the center of it all.
Her energy blazing like a storm of light.
Her eyes sharp.
Focused.
Across from her—
The figure stood surrounded by darkness.
Thicker.
Heavier than before.
"…Now this is interesting," it said.
Its voice echoing through the chaos.
Meera didn't reply.
She moved first.
A flash of light—
And she was already in front of it.
Her attack landed.
Hard.
The ground shattered beneath them.
The figure slid back several steps.
"…Fast," it muttered.
But before it could recover—
Meera attacked again.
No pause.
No hesitation.
Strike after strike.
Each one stronger than the last.
The air cracked with every movement.
The figure blocked—
But barely.
For the first time—
It was on the defensive.
"…You've grown," it admitted.
Meera's voice was calm.
"…I had to."
The figure suddenly vanished.
But Meera didn't stop.
She turned instantly—
Blocking the next attack.
CRASH!
Their powers collided again.
Sending shockwaves in all directions.
Arjun struggled to stay on his feet.
"…This level of power…"
"…It's insane…"
The battlefield was no longer stable.
Cracks spread across the ground.
Trees collapsed.
The air itself felt like it was tearing apart.
But Meera—
Still stood strong.
The figure stepped back.
Its breathing slightly heavier now.
"…You're pushing me," it said quietly.
"…Good."
Its eyes glowed brighter.
Darkness gathered around it again—
Even more intense.
"…Let's end this."
The pressure increased instantly.
Crushing.
Overwhelming.
Meera felt it—
But she didn't step back.
Her energy rose to meet it.
Balancing the force.
"…I'm not done yet," she said.
Her light flared brighter.
The two powers clashed again—
Even stronger than before.
The sky darkened completely.
Lightning-like energy cracked through the air.
The ground beneath them began to break apart.
This was no longer just a fight—
It was destruction.
Meera gathered her power.
Focusing everything into one point.
Her breathing steady.
Her mind clear.
"…This ends now."
She moved.
Faster than ever before.
The figure reacted instantly—
Launching its own attack.
Light and darkness collided—
Directly.
A massive explosion followed.
The force blasted everything away.
Dust filled the air.
Silence.
Heavy.
Uncertain.
Slowly—
The dust began to clear.
Two figures stood in the center.
Both still standing.
Both still ready.
The figure looked at Meera—
A faint smile returning.
"…So it continues."
Meera stepped forward again.
Unshaken.
"…Until one of us falls."
The storm hadn't ended.
It had only begun.
