The ground trembled beneath Harvin's feet as the Crystal Doom Wyvern flapped its massive, shimmering wings. It was a beast forged in elemental fury—an apex predator of this B-Rank Dungeon, glowing with crystallized energy that reflected like shattered mirrors in the dungeon's icy light.
Harvin stood firm, his hands bleeding, clutching two bent hook-blades he'd picked up in desperation. His clothes were torn. Blood ran down his jaw. But his eyes were steady.
> "I'm not going to rely on Blackout Execution."
"I'll win—awake. I'll win—my way."

⚔️ The Clash Begins
The wyvern struck first—its tail spinning like a mace.
Harvin leaped. Not away—but into the arc. The tail scraped past his shoulder as he brought one hook up—
SLASH!
Sparks flew as his steel scraped crystal. The wyvern screamed.
Harvin rolled, dashed, and moved like a wild flame.
He remembered his training.
The fights.
The dagger video he studied so long ago.
Each slash, parry, and dodge mirrored those practiced movements. His copied form—80% accuracy, but 100% willpower.
> "Your attacks are huge. But you're slow."
He ran up the wyvern's leg, dodging its claws. It tried to bite—he slid under its jaw, twisting, and drove both hooks into its chest.
The monster shrieked.
It glowed—charging its crystal energy. A beam attack.
Harvin's eyes narrowed.

> "This pain…"
"This fight…"
"It's nothing compared to what Vasu is going through."
He took a breath.
He charged forward.

: Prism Burst

⚡ BOOOOM!
The entire cavern lit up in a spectrum of burning light.
The Prism Burst tore through the battlefield, a chaotic laser of refracted energy shredding ice, stone, and air. Where it passed, everything melted or exploded. Crystalline shards rained like razors.
But—
Harvin wasn't there.
The wyvern blinked, confused—if such a monster could be.
Then—
> "Above you."
A voice. Calm. Cold. Human.
The Crystal Doom Wyvern looked up, and for the first time… hesitated.
Harvin was in the air. Blood spraying from a cut leg. One of his hook-blades now lodged deep into the monster's wing joint—a desperate anchor that had slingshotted him up mid-burst.
His other blade was gripped backward in his right hand, trailing sparks from sheer speed.
> "YOU think I need a system to kill you?"
He drove the blade into the beast's eye.
CRACK—!
A blinding explosion of crystal and blood.
The wyvern screamed—a horrifying, echoing screech that shook the dungeon itself. Its wings flailed; ice walls shattered. It bucked, smashing into pillars.
Harvin was thrown—slamming into frozen rubble, rolling through frost and blood.

🌬️ Silence.
He gasped—eyes barely open. Cold burned his lungs.
But then… he saw it.
The wyvern. Twitching. Bleeding from its eye. Breathing hard. Its crystal glow flickered, unstable. One wing—shattered.
It was wounded. Blind on one side. Unbalanced.
> "Just a little more..."
He forced himself up—hands trembling, vision blurry.
And in the frozen haze, he smiled.

🩸 Flashback: Vasu's Voice
"Bhaiya... you promised you'd come back."
"I will," Harvin whispered through clenched teeth. "Even if I die standing—I'll return."
---
☠️ Final Round
The wyvern charged, screaming.
Harvin charged too—hook-blades crossed.
One second.
Two.
And then—
He slid beneath the beast—again—but this time, he kicked off a fallen pillar mid-slide, twisting as he spun onto its back.
> "Blackout Execution? No…"
> "I made this path with my pain. My losses. My scars."
> "This is my execution."
Both blades plunged deep into its spine.
And finally—
The monster fell.
Crystals cracked. The glow dimmed.
Silence.

The Sanjivani Guild Manager, Mahesh, stared at the flickering dungeon core.
His eyes widened.
