"Pledge your loyalty, or burn to ash!" My voice echoes through the desert, using my screech perk to make my entrance known. Just moments ago, memories of the entire battle flooded into my mind from a body double that was killed in the shockwave following the Lich King's transformation. Even while traveling over a kilometer above the desert, my dark blood-red soul energy aura melts the desert sand below. It looks as if an enormous ball of fire is rocketing through the desert and burning everything in its path. I'm fully armored up, using my ranked-up buff to create the manifestation of my dark black greater form while an even larger layer of Soul Energy surrounds it and manifests an enormous black flaming sword. My eyes are locked on a wave of orange light that is fractions of a second away from engulfing my teammates and turning them into pawns for the Lich King's army. My eyes pulse, and my aura grows as the desert turns to a sea of liquid glass below me. Everything and everyone is engulfed in my Soul Energy's Flames. Ember releases a concentrated wave of flames forward at the same time I swing my blade and both of our attacks collide with the black aura of the incoming scythe. This time, after vibrations rattle the desert, the Lich King's long curved blade is actually pushed backward a few meters before the release of power. With our combined attack, we've got it beat on pure strength, just slightly. However, our opponent notices this too and more black aura starts to surround its blade and flood from its inner Dark form. The monster's voice echoes throughout the desolate flame-covered battlefield as it raises its scythe again. "Impossible. A mere mortal and a weak dragon have stood up to me in the form of a Dark God. This act shall never be remembered, I shall erase it from history. With you two as my servants, the world shall only know of the Immortal Lich King. The Dark One. No- The Dark God." It swings its scythe downward again, but I get an eerie feeling from it once the black aura around it starts to swirl and shift. Halfway through its downward slash, the tip of the scythe disappears into thin air. Or, more like, it falls away into the dark aura of shadows. From behind me, a massive black portal opens, and the pointed tip of the monster's blade comes rocketing out. The rest of the curved weapon follows, and I turn my body to block it with my blade at the last moment. Without my full attention being captivated in the charge up, and a switch in momentum, it overpowers me and I'm sent flying off of Ember's back while blocking the scythe. My Soul Energy Sword still keeps a direct hit, so it never manages to cut through my body, but I'm shot flying past the Lich King at close proximity just in time for it to create another jet black portal and swing its scythe through this one too. I twist my body again, and this time, with enough momentum to clash with it using equal power, my Soul Energy blade collides with a small portion of the Lich King's scythe that sticks out of a black portal that floats in the air. At the same time, Ember lets out a concentrated beam of fire at the Lich King's main body, and manages to burn away a portion of its black cloak, and swirling black energy of its greater form underneath to reveal the bright white bone of the monster's lower ribcage. I spot a shimmering orange light inside it, and make the split-second deduction that it must have some kind of core or power source. As my energy sword rips through its black cloak, incinerating the Dark Shielding around its chest area, I dive deep into its rib cage while swinging my sword. An enormous orange gem rests inside it, flowing with Soul Energy, and pumping power all throughout its body. Before I can even bring my sword down on it, it begins to glow brighter and brighter as if it's about to explode. I make tight shielding of Soul Energy around my head, heart, and vital organs, but leave everything else nearly defenseless, and charge my blade with all of the remaining Soul Energy I have. A cracking sound ripples through the air as the monster tries to take its blade back from Ember's grasp, but he holds on with bloodied talons, tightening more onto the sharp blade. The Lich King sacrifices over 20 meters of its scythe, severing the end part by closing its dark portal. Ember still holds onto the creature's broken portion of blade while releasing a full-powered highly concentrated beam of fire at its head. At the same time, a new portal is formed right behind me, and the cracked and broken scythe comes through it, pointed right at my back. With the expanding core about to explode in front of me, and the enormous black fractured scythe coming at me from behind, the only possible way I could dodge either of these would be to give up on my attack and run. However, that's not at all what I plan to do. I follow through, pushing my Soul Energy Blade deep into the orange gem at a diagonal angle. Predicting that it will explode the moment I break through it, I position my body in the way of its blast to be violently propelled in the direction it does. The scythe swings down right where I was, and slices through my left shoulder and left leg. Without the violent orange blast that pushes me to the right side, it would have been a direct hit. However, my main body is propelled far away while the broken gem erupts from a slit that my sword managed to produce and expels its energy at a constant rate from inside. The orange blast melts away my skin at close proximity, but isn't able to breach any of my denser Soul Energy shielding. While flying backward through the air, I use self-regeneration to grow back my lost limbs and melted flesh, then concentrate on the new black portals that appear to my sides while I plummet toward the liquid glassy ground. I block every one of the blows with my energy sword, watching black shards of the scythe's metal get chipped away with every collision it makes. By the time I hit the ground, less than half of its weapon remains. At this point, I'm fully regenerated, and I jump back into the violent explosion of orange energy from its core. The Lich King continues to let out a death screech as it tries to obliterate everything in its vicinity, but the Aura that comes off of Ember and myself is far too strong to be eaten by its orange Soul Energy. I grasp my blade tightly, jumping directly through the violent orange aura eruption, while bashing away its final attempts to block me with its shrinking scythe. With my gaze locked onto the orange core gem that is still floating in its chest and releasing power, I swing my blade at it again, this time with no external threats left to stop me from releasing everything I have into a final attack. My sword plunges into the crack that my previous attack produced, and I allow all of my Soul Energy to erupt from my blade and engulf what is left of the stone while shattering it to pieces from the inside. My flames stretch outward, engulfing more and more with boundless hunger. The more it absorbs, the stronger my flames become. As I get stronger, the Lich King's energy that attempts to slip away becomes weaker. All of the energy from this orange blast falls into my dark flames, and they engulf the Lich King's entire body. There is no hope for it to escape. The crystal disintegrates, and every drop of the Orange Soul Energy in the surrounding area disappears in an instant to leave nothing but a skeleton in a black cloak holding a shattered scythe. The screeches stop, and the waves of energy that threaten to tear the desert in two cease entirely. Ringing notifications sound in my ear, and the remains of the Lich King fall to the molten desert below.
