The moment he arrived, the air shifted, no longer dominated by Pelion’s black flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion watched him and grinned. \"Well, well, well... the boss finally decided to show up, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze dragged slowly over Sianor, almost mocking. \"Should I feel honored... or worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t react. He simply relaxed his body and met Pelion’s stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be worried,\" he said calmly, \"because you’re going to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion blinked, then laughed, clearly amused. \"Straight to the point, huh, Sianor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his shoulders slightly. \"I like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loose shrug, he added, \"Let’s see if you can actually...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before we start...\" Sianor cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion frowned. \"What? Are you going to beg me to go easy on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor looked at him and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy on me? Haha... are you crazy?\" His smile sharpened. \"Even I think you should go all out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head slightly, studying Pelion. \"But that’s not what I wanted to say... There’s something I’m curious about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"All of you... the so-called ’perfect chimera.’ Why does it all seem so... simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor continued, his voice steady. \"Stronger bodies. More brute force. That’s all I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted one hand slightly, as if weighing the thought. \"Is it really worth it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion let out a loud laugh. \"You’ve got a sharp eye, Sianor. Most people don’t notice that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a slow step forward, the ground faintly cracking beneath his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s simple because most demonic beasts they fuse with are ordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone turned blunt. \"They’re just raw power and instinct... so that’s what you get.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped, locking eyes with Sianor. \"But I’m different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames around him pulsed once... heavier and denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s expression didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms slightly, as if inviting what came next. \"Then show me, Pelion... your real power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint aura rose around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t...\" His voice dropped, cold and certain. \"You’ll die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s smile stretched wider. \"Perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t move at first, yet the space around him began to shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if the sun itself had decided to draw closer than it ever should, its presence pressing in with quiet, suffocating intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion felt it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body weakened without warning, a sudden heaviness dragging at his limbs. \"Huh... what’s happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black flames surrounding him flickered and dimmed, their once-feral energy faltering as confusion crept across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Sianor raised his hand. A faint golden glow gathered at his fingertips, soft but unmistakably dense with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now show me... the true power of a perfect chimera, just as you claimed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion ignored the unease and smirked, spreading his wings wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gladly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black flames around him surged again, but this time, they didn’t simply burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They twisted, condensed, and collapsed inward, devouring themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his entire form resembled a writhing void wrapped in fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faster than before, he vanished and reappeared above Sianor, arm raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames compressed into a single point in his palm, the air around it cracking under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Void Ember Collapse]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space beneath the attack warped inward, as if reality itself were being crushed before the strike could even land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sianor simply looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended two fingers, and the golden light upon them intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Solar Anchor Descent]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion didn’t hesitate. He unleashed his attack but at that same instant, a single point of light appeared above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened.What the hell—?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slammed into Pelion with overwhelming force, driving him into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attack collapsed with him, crushed into the earth before it could reach its target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shattered, caving under an immense, invisible weight that pinned him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s wings strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames flared violently as he fought against the pressure, and slowly, painfully, he began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch... What the hell is happening...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, his expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor lowered his hand slightly, gaze steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t I tell you already, Pelion...?\" he said quietly. \"You could die here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his hand forward, the golden light sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My power is the bane of all corrupt forces... including your demonic flames.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion growled, black fire surging harder as he forced one arm upward against the invisible weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think that’s enough to stop me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames around him twisted again, darker now, denser, as though collapsing into something far more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his hand, compressing the energy into a single, unstable core that pulsed with violent intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Abyssal Phoenix Ruin]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp motion, he tore the energy outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It surged forward, a devouring force that clawed at the golden light, seeking to consume it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he opened his other hand. A different kind of light appeared, brighter and purer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sunbreak Judgment]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought his hand down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces collided, and for a single, suspended moment, everything stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... the black flames shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They splintered and scattered, dissolving under the overwhelming brilliance of the golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space itself seemed to reject them, an oppressive force pushing the two energies apart as if the darkness had no right to exist there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion staggered back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he grinned. \"This is fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened, wings drawing in slightly as the black flames around him shifted once more, changing and refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s try this properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted both hands, claws curling inward as black flames gathered and condensed along their edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire no longer raged wildly. It focused, compressing into something precise and lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Eclipse Talon Severance]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single motion, he slashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A razor-thin arc of black flame tore through the air, an absolute cut that erased everything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light around him surged upward, expanding into something vast and overwhelming, like a fragment of the sun descending into the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Radiant Sunfall Execution]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two attacks met, the world screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space twisted violently under the strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black arc resisted, pushing forward with annihilating force, carving against the golden descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief instant, they held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the balance broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cut shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t simply collapse; it was overwhelmed, consumed entirely by the sheer weight of Sianor’s radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s body slammed into the ground again, harder than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact drove him to one knee as an immense, invisible pressure crushed down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor smiled faintly, stepping forward through the fading clash of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t I tell you already?\" he said calmly. \"I am your bane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light surged, pouring over Pelion and sealing around him like an inescapable judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s grin flickered. He let out a short, breathless laugh. \"Heh... you’ve got to be kidding me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light intensified and in a single, decisive moment, Pelion was burned away into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","52c8c12f7c3f49ead949ef6d2dfad363215a417b6db5f3a04ad439bd4662b541","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-540","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-538",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
