"Haackgh!" I coughed loudly as I pulled the broken spear out of my bloodied chest.

Okay… That should've killed her… but the container hasn't been shattered as of yet… I have a bad feeling about this… As the cloud of dust began to lessen and lessen, I am greeted by several hundred small, orange lights through the smoke, illuminating a familiar figure. To my shock and terror, that damn fox was still standing. Fortunately, it looks like the attack had taken a toll on her.

"Such insolence…" She grunted angrily as she placed her hand on her shoulder. I looked past her to see that the container seemed to have not taken a single scratch. What the hell… That was my strongest ability, yet she's still standing?!

"I'll give you this, tinkerer. You were smart to try to sneak in that attack like that." She muttered as she raised her hand towards me, causing the several hundred small, orange lights began to flicker more violently. Agh… Damn it. Perhaps this would've turned out better if… My train of thought immediately stops as the lights began to speed towards me at an alarming rate. I open my mouth in fear as they began to get closer and closer. So, this is it, eh? I would've thought it would've been more gruesome. Heheh. I grinned once more. They make contact with something in front of me. I quickly shield my eyes from the smoke and dust as the lights explode violently. That's… not right. Did she miss? Of course not, she had plenty of time to take aim… Unless…

As the smoke and dust slowly began to clear up, I could see a distinct figure in front of me facing away. The smoke clears up, to show a shocking sight- Chung, it was Chung who was standing in right front of me, almost as if he wasn't dead at all when I saw him- just sleeping. What the hell?! How is he still alive? I would've sworn there was no sign of life in his corp-

"Hehehehehehehe..." Chung slowly laughed as he moved the destroyer to the left of him. He's laughing? Why the hell is he laughing?

"You..." Eun scowled angrily as she laid eyes upon the Iron Paladin. She jumped at him almost immediately only to be struck in the stomach and sent flying towards a wall by a swing of Chung's destroyer. Eun struggles as she slowly dislodged herself from the wall and landed on her hands and knees.

"Add." I am surprised to hear Chung call out to me. "Don't be shocked, that just makes me feel UNWANTED." He laughs once more. "Now, step aside, before you become a hindrance to me." Chung said as he waves at me with the back of his hand.

A hindrance?! How dare you call me that! I stared at him angrily as he took a step forward. As he continued to walk toward Eun, I hear a distinct shattering sound. What the hell was that? I continued to look up towards him. Eun jolted back up on her feet and lunged at Chung with her claws once more, only to be blocked and counterattacked back into the wall.

"What the hell..." She muttered angrily as she opened her eyes to look back at Chung. There- there it was again. That- that shattering sound. I quickly ordered my Dynamos to scan the area once more.

"Damaged Sustained: 92.34%

(2) Out of (6) dynamos operable.

Scan:

Extreme Energy Inflation Detected!

Awakening Necklace has shattered!"

His Awakening Necklace has shattered? How the hell could that happen? Those necklaces were said to be able to withstand the strongest energy sources ever known in Elrios! Unless… My gaze quickly averts toward the giant container of dark energy. The fool… He's drawing power from the container's energy! You're going to get corrupted like your father did, idiot! I turn back towards Chung. His aura… It's different… Chung's Aura had quickly turned from a pure white into a bright yellow.

Eun quickly removed herself from the wall and stood up once more. She charged once more towards Chung to get into close quarters and quickly fired an orb from the palm of her hand. It was a direct hit. "Nrgh..." Chung muttered as brushed off the blow and slammed his destroyer into Eun once more, then knocked her back with a backhand from his destroyer. "Brutal Swing!" He shouted out angrily as he rammed his destroyer into Eun, following it up with a sudden bash. "AAACK!" Eun cried out pain as she is sent flying a few feet to the side. Chung walks towards her slowly and approaches her. Eun slashes upwards from the ground as she catches Chung off guard. The tearing of metal could be heard as Eun attacks Chung with a flurry of swipes, slashes, and cuts. Chung quickly jumps up and stomps with his heavy armor, knocking Eun up into the air in front of him. He then proceeds swing his destroyer upwards and bashes his destroyer into Eun once more. The building began to shake haphazardly as he slams the heap of metal into Eun, eventually whirling his destroyer round and round, creating a small hurricane. Eun quickly breaks from the hurricane and upper-slashes Chung, followed by another whirlwind of attacks from her sharp claws, only to stop short as she runs out of energy. As Eun begins to move slower and slower, she clutches her shoulder once more. The Iron Paladin slowly raises the end of his destroyer towards Eun's chest.

"Haah…" She says as she releases her breath. "So, it comes to this… If you wish to kill me, you will kill the girl as well. "She chuckled. Chung glares at her as he lowers his Destroyer halfway. That damn fox… she'd use her own vessel as a hostage?!

"You know..." Chung chuckled slowly.

"M-muh?" Eun says in surprise as he suddenly starts to laugh.

"What pisses me off the most is… the fact that you continue to flaunt around that face as if it were really hers!" His smile quickly fades as he raises his destroyer up to Eun's face. "Steel Edge!" A ferocious blast is immediately fired by Chung's destroyer, sending chunks of the wall in front of him flying everywhere. A great hole is revealed as the smoke slowly begins to clear, the crimson red sky's light quickly pours into the building. The smell of smoke and ash quickly floods my nostrils as I stare deep into the hole.

The Iron Paladin is quickly taken back as a strange creatures pounces on to him. The scraping of metal could be heard as the wolf-like creature begins to bite down on his destroyer. Chung quickly pushes the creature off of him and quickly follows it up with the swing from his destroyer. The wall cracks even more as the being is embedded into it. As I began to examine the being, I quickly noticed the similarities between Eun and the creature. It can manifest itself into a physical state?! Then why hadn't it done so in the first place?! Eun falls down onto the cold, hard floor once more as Chung slowly strides over to her. I get up, only to collapse with my back against the wall. Dammit… I can't get up…

The echo of Chung's footsteps stop as he finally towers over Eun with the air of aggression. The Iron Paladin quickly steps back as he sees Eun jolt back onto her feet. The building shakes violently as Eun begins to howl, knocking Chung backwards. The shifting of dust could be heard as Eun seemingly fades out of sight, only to pounce onto the Chung's back moments after. The kumiho begins to roar louder and louder as she sinks her fangs into the Guardian's back. I raise my hand in protest. "Particle Shot!" I shout out as I aim my hand towards Eun. Purple electricity begins to charge up into a small sphere as I strain myself to squeeze out what little energy was left. The sound of a loud explosion could be heard as my attack makes contact with the kumiho. I strain myself even more to stand up once again, grunting in pain as I place my hand against the blood stained wall for support. I quickly shove my hand into my pocket, revealing a crimson red elixir. My muscles begin to soothe as I chug it down quickly. The Celestial Fox's claws skid across the floor as it endures my attack. Chung looks at me with the utmost surprise as I begin to shuffle towards him. Suddenly, a bolt of electricity strikes the ground near Chung, the sounds echoing throughout the room. The sound of vicious growling could be heard from Eun.

The rushing of wind could be heard as a great, orange symbol appears over Eun. The symbol begins to spin faster and faster. Dust and wind begin to pick up as it rotates more and more, forming a hurricane. As the hurricane began to grow and grow, we start sliding closer and closer to it. Scraping could be heard as we continued to inch towards it more and more. The Iron Paladin took guard once more, pulling me behind him. The winds began to get more and more violent, forming a terrifying vortex that pulled and pulled unyieldingly. As I peered past Chung, shielding my eyes from the dust, I began to see the vortex shifting and tapering off to one edge. The edge was slowly rotating towards us, the winds subsiding as the top of it was now pointed away from us. Then suddenly, it sped towards us at in an incredible speed. Like a drill, it kept pecking into Chung's destroyer over and over again, only to be held at one place as the Iron Paladin stood his ground with unyielding determination.

A cracking sound could be heard in the midst of the commotion, the last bead had shattered. My eyes quickly widened as I see Chung's aura turn into a deep orange accompanied with a small grin upon Chung's face. Fumes could be seen billowing out from the back of his destroyer as he began to shift it slowly. He slaps away the drill, only to see it loop back into our direction. Chung gripped his destroyer tightly as he almost slams his destroyer into the ground, only to stop it just a few inches away. He screams furiously as he draws it back and aims it towards Eun as the fumes turn into vivid blue flames billowing out from the back of his destroyer. The breaking of stone and flooring could be heard as the drill began to speed towards Chung at an alarming rate. Unfaltering, Chung stopped holding back his destroyer and went with it as he swung at Eun, shouting out,

"Doom Strike!"

As the explosion fills the world around us, the container could be heard shattering violently in the background.
