That wasn't its purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it controlled the essence of fear itself and used that mastery to challenge those who dared reach this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time a brave soul, by skill, luck, or sheer madness, made it to the bottom of this depths, the guardian would offer its final gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would create a perfect replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flawless, living nightmare of the challenger themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, standing a few meters ahead of Alex, was another version of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't entirely human in appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the other nightmare creations, its form was shrouded in shadow, a humanoid shape composed entirely of twisting black aura, its body constantly shifting like smoke caught in a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes glowed pure white, without pupils or irises, just raw, burning power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything else, the stance, the presence, the atmosphere, it was unmistakably him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill that created it was called [Perfect Nightmare].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Perfect Nightmare: A skill gifted by the God of Nightmares, allowing the Guardian to summon a flawless and stronger version of the one who reaches the bottom of the Depths.

The final trial, was Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Alex steadied himself and took a stance, instinctively falling into his usual ready position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without delay, the nightmare mirrored him, perfectly synchronized, every movement mirrored to the smallest detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the wings, six of them bursting out from the nightmare's back, pulsing with dark energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its left arm twisted and expanded, reshaping itself into the menacing [Bleeding Dragon Claws].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an exact match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every skill Alex had learned, every ability he had acquired, every advantage he thought was his alone, it apparently had them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, as the invisible signal triggered the start of the battle, the two of them stood still, locked in a motionless standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither moved. Neither blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's really a perfect copy,\" Alex whispered to himself, \"Then it's going to think exactly like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, as expected, the nightmare raised a hand and summoned the [Universal Orbs], ten floating spheres of condensed power that began orbiting its body, just like Alex often used in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shimmered in perfect sync, gleaming with potential destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were now visually indistinguishable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same aura.

Same everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stood still as realization continued to sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the ultimate reflection of him at his strongest, complete with every tool he once had, possibly even more dangerous due to having more resources than he currently did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder no one had ever beaten this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'm not turning back now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not when he'd come this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of pressure followed as the nightmare Alex took a step forward, its black army moving in perfect formation behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't going to stand around waiting either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted this fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right…\" Alex whispered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped both cheeks, grounding himself in the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the nightmare version mimicked him, slapping its own cheeks in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Annoying…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pointed straight at the creature, and in eerie synchronicity, it pointed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ATTACK!\" Alex roared, his voice echoing with authority, \"Foxes, ignore the undead! Focus on the other foxes! Undead, tear through their army!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His army moved as one, charging forward with a terrifying unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the nightmare version did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was identical. Every strategy he came up with would be anticipated. Every decision he made would be mirrored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference now, was who would execute better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And both Alex and the nightmare launched forward at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield became a storm of chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elemental foxes collided with their counterparts, streaks of flame and water clashing in mid-air, lightning crackling across the floor while dark and light tore at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead armies slammed together, skeletons ripping through each other in waves of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the center of it all, the real Alex and the nightmare version met in a flurry of claws and strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew as the [Bleeding Dragon Claws] scraped against one another, neither side backing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each movement was countered, each strike met with an equal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brutal push and pull.
