Chapter 44: Fused Calamity — Part 3
The fused monstrosity of the Shard and the Void-Spawn Wyrm loomed, its amalgamated body pulsing with chaotic energy—void tendrils fused with humanoid limbs, crimson eyes swirling across its warped form. The Sacred Dimension trembled, skies crying above as raw power clashed in the air.
Kael stood his ground, flames burning low but unyielding. Evelyne hovered beside him, crescent blades shimmering with lunar fury. Their breaths were ragged. Blood clung to their skin. Yet their eyes were steel—unyielding.

Kael's body ignited with blazing gold and crimson. The Overdrive Trait awakened as the battle tilted dangerously in the enemy's favor. His muscles surged, veins alight with fire and divine remnants. The shared power from his bonded partners resonated—pushing his body beyond mortal limits.
A warning pulsed through his mind:
[Overdrive Mode: Activated — Duration: 60 sec. HP Drain: -50/sec]
Kael roared like a beast born from flame and fate, rocketing forward with his blade drawn. The Void-Shard Titan countered with a claw slash, but Kael blurred past it—flame wreathing his arm as he drove a punch straight into the enemy's core.
[Critical Strike — 39,988 DMG]
The titan howled. Space bent. The monster retaliated with Void Devour Pulse, sending out a ring of shredding dimensional energy. Kael crossed his arms and braced—barely blocking the shockwave.
[HP -820 | Flame Tether: Selene absorbed 50%]
From behind, Evelyne surged upward, her blades spinning in a twin arc of lunar fury.
"Moonblade Eclipse!" she cried.
A beam of compressed moonlight tore down from the heavens, slicing clean through one of the titan's shoulders.
[Enemy HP -68,000 | Limb Severed]
But the creature didn't stop. Tendrils burst from its chest, wrapping around Evelyne, trying to crush her.
"Evelyne!" Kael shouted, flashing in front of her with Ignition Step, and burning the tendrils with an explosive nova.
[Combo Activated: Twin Soul Resonance — Damage Amplified]
[Evelyne Damage Bonus Applied: +1.2x | Kael Bonus: 1.4x]
As the void monster reeled back, Kael flew into the sky and called on his newest skill—Infernal Dominion Strike.
[Skill: Infernal Dominion Strike (Lvl 1)]
The atmosphere darkened. Fire condensed into a spear. With Evelyne's magic binding the enemy's legs, Kael hurled the fiery weapon like a comet.
The impact cratered half the battlefield.
[Massive Damage — 92,000]
[Boss HP: 41% Remaining]
Kael landed with a stumble, breath ragged. Blood leaked from his nose, eyes, and arms. Overdrive was taking its toll.
[HP: 2,540 / 6,100 → Dropping]
Evelyne grabbed his arm. "You're pushing too hard!"
Kael chuckled, blood staining his teeth. "Just enough to win."
Suddenly, the enemy's form shifted again. A new pair of wings burst from its back. Its eyes glowed bright violet.
"IT IS NOT ENOUGH!" the titan screeched.
Kael's body was flung backward by a pulse of void energy. The enemy charged, claws glowing.
Just before impact, Kael screamed, and everything around him slowed. His body flared again—Overdrive Core Burnout phase.
[Secret Trait Activated: Core Burnout — Stat Limit Ignored for 10 seconds]
Kael's flames became celestial. Each movement left afterimages. He met the monster mid-charge—blow for blow, strike for strike.
Their fists collided. Energy cracked the sky.
[Kael HP: 890 / 6,100 | Enemy HP: 9%]
Both stood. Barely.
Both bleeding.
Kael looked up at Evelyne. "Now or never."
She raised her blades and screamed. "Twin Eclipse Crescendo!"
Kael joined, their powers synchronizing into a pillar of destruction.
[Skill Fusion: Eclipse Infernum Nova — Created]
The blast swallowed the titan.
[Enemy HP: 3%... 1%...]
Just as the dust settled, the titan rose one last time—burning, melting, but alive.
"THIS… ISN'T OVER…"
Its core flared—ready to self-destruct.
Kael looked at Evelyne and stepped forward. "Then let's die together."
