No trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the weight of what was to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked away and continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time to stand still and admire the views.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final battle was right ahead, and it was a battle that could not be delayed any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Kaelios kept pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient god occasionally glanced at the windows too, but far less intrigued than Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attention remained mostly ahead, eyes locked on the light waiting at the corridor's end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pulsed faintly, as if sensing their approach, as if inviting them to step through and face whatever lay on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence between them finally broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" Kaelios began, his voice calm but serious, \"I know strategy is pretty much worthless now, but... what's the plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex exhaled, then grinned, \"Don't die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's your plan?\" Kaelios raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the [God of Death] we're up against,\" Alex replied, his smile fading into something sharper, \"Dying isn't really a great option.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Chosen One?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lich…\" Alex muttered, eyes flashing, \"He won't get away with what he did.

Heavy and waiting. This might be the end, Alex.

It is a vast, flat space with nothing to obstruct combat. Victory will not be decided only by raw power.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The field is massive in scale.

BEGIN!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep bell rang across the sky, echoing like a divine signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it did, Lich moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his dark scepter, a twisted thing of bone and steel, and a mixture of green and violet aura began swirling around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath his feet responded immediately, pulsing with corrupt energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You cannot defeat us!\" Lich declared, voice filled with manic glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his scepter as his aura flooded the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death shall rule!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nocteron remained still, silent and unbothered, watching the scene unfold with the cold eyes of one who had seen countless ages pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex narrowed his gaze, using those few seconds to analyze his enemies one final time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chosen One of Death – Lich]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Undead Summoning, Grim Reaper, ???, ???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew Lich's two visible skills, but the panel also confirmed that he likely only had two more hidden ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four total. It wasn't much, but Alex knew better than to underestimate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lich still looked the same, pale, skeletal-thin, his white hair drifting in the breeze like mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore long black robes, and his scepter seemed almost alive with the deathly energy it contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had also been rumors that he was a vampire, but Alex doubted that detail would matter much in a battle like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted his focus to Nocteron next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[God of Death – Nocteron]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: ???, ???, ???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only three question marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nocteron had just three skills, but if a god of his level had so few, it only meant one thing, those abilities were devastating, carefully chosen, absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The god's appearance was unsettling, despite the sharp black suit he wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had slicked-back black hair, pale white skin, and glowing red eyes that never blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what stood out most were his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were elongated, ink-black, veined with pulsing red lines, each throb releasing a subtle hum of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just looking at them sent a chill down Alex's spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't need to be told, getting touched by those hands meant certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the battle could truly begin, Nocteron spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know,\" he began casually, as if talking to old friends, \"most people who fight me eventually crumble when they learn one simple truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But let's change things up this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up,\" Kaelios snapped, \"You'll die just like all the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nocteron's grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the problem. I can't die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it so easily, so naturally, that it took Kaelios a moment to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex, however, remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like how you can revive for a set amount of time,\" Nocteron continued, nodding at Kaelios, \"I can do the same but in a much larger scale. I've taken the lives of millions, absorbed their essence. My soul splits and stores in each one. You cannot kill me. None of your tricks will work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll see about that,\" Alex muttered, his expression darkening, \"I'll enjoy watching you scream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... the denial phase.\" Nocteron sighed, \"Even when I tell them, they never believe me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back calmly, but deep in his mind, there was a flicker of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in Alex's gaze made him hesitate, if only for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" he reassured himself, \"We have millions of lives. We cannot lose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lich finished his incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was quicker, less focused on summoning a god-tier creature and more on quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will fall before my undead!\" Lich roared, slamming his scepter against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrain trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then... it erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Lich and Nocteron, the earth split open in a thousand places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeletal arms burst forth, clawing at the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, they rose, skeleton warriors with hollow eyes and rusted blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds. Thousands. Tens of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My 100,000-man skeleton army,\" Lich laughed, his voice echoing across the field, \"They're not the strongest, no. But they'll keep you busy. Let's see how long you last.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios tensed, readying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex simply sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single, fluid motion, he raised his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep shadow spiraled around him, coiling like smoke, seeping into the ground as his own deathly aura surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your numbers mean nothing,\" Alex said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his voice rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arise... my undead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command rippled with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had prepared for this moment for longer than anyone knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this exact battle.
