wounds were appearing on both sides-deep cuts, scorched flesh, and frostbitten limbs revealing just how merciless the confrontation had become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick’s team fought desperately to fend off Diamon and his allies, who wielded their devastating powers with ruthless precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each side struggled to gain an advantage, but the conflict remained at a standstill-until a decisive moment finally emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamon, the snow leopard-like Deus Behemoth, managed to close the distance between himself and Elrick with alarming speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His colossal battle axe bristled with frigid energy, a cold so intense it seemed to warp space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by the might of his Soul Bloodline, he swung the weapon in a mighty arc aimed straight for Elrick’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick raised his right hand, channeling his Fire Star Power in a frantic bid to shield himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last second, a strange golden talisman manifested and wrapped him in a radiant force field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!” An immense explosion of ice erupted where Diamon’s axe collided with the fiery barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire dome quaked under the impact, and icicles formed mid-air before shattering like fragile glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Diamon expected his blow to cut straight through Elrick’s defenses, the radiant force field held, repelling even that overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick was sent flying backward, tumbling end over end, but when he hit the ground, there were no visible injuries on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamon snarled, flipping his axe to a more stable grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you still had a trump card saved, you sneaking bastard,” he spat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold glare followed Elrick’s figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Diamon paused, lifting his axe high with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bloodsoul Ice Age!” A horrifying blast of icy power surged from Diamon’s weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air cracked and howled under the onslaught as shards of glacial frost expanded outward in a spiral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Diamon cast a quick glance at the fiery brother and sister and then unleashed a swirling tornado of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This whiteout enveloped the entire dome, a blizzard so dense it dulled everyone’s vision and disrupted their other senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s eyes narrowed behind the curtain of snow, the golden light of the Flow glinting in his irises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed the fire-wielding siblings suddenly halt their relentless attacks, confusion flickering across their features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single glance, Cain guessed they had received a mental command from Diamon-probably an instruction regarding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So,’ Cain mused, ‘they know the truth now.’ A moment later, the siblings stopped harassing Cain entirely, silently stepping back as if uncertain what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were clearly shocked, they heed Diamon’s orders.  Cain understood Diamon’s intention without the need for words: the time was nigh for him to enact his role in this elaborate scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the swirling ice hid him and the siblings from view, Cain allowed that cruel grin to flash across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the dome, Elrick’s face was locked in an expression of dread and exhaustion as he frantically scanned for an escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirling ice and snow made movement treacherous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His anxiety spiked further when he realized Diamon was barreling toward him again, intent on exploiting the momentary lull in Elrick’s defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barely managing to focus, Elrick summoned a fiery tortoise-shaped construct to guard him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blazing creature rose like a living shield, its shell glowing red-hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Diamon’s ice-fueled axe crashed through it almost effortlessly, shattering the flaming shell with one devastating strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick lurched backward under the force of the impact, the radiant force field he had summoned earlier once again absorbing all the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sent hurtling into the wall of the dome, colliding with a dull thud.  Diamon did not relent for a moment, diving through the swirling snow, his eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the axe again, determined to finish Elrick once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the weapon descended with enough power to split a small continent in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick’s eyes were clouded with terror, but a crazy light appeared in them as well, and he would not just lie down and escape death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before the man could do something suicidal, a black spear appeared in the path of Diamon’s strike, deflecting it with shocking force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks of frost-laden energy and fiery Star Power crackled at the point of impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamon staggered back, momentarily losing his footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick looked up in wide-eyed astonishment, expecting to see one of his own allies, maybe Auron or Mera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he saw the man he had never truly trusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain stood before Elrick like a guardian, his body emanating radiant Star Power, his spear held in a steady grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamon’s features hardened in surprise, clearly not expecting Cain to interfere in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Deus Behemoth could shout or make any rash move, Cain addressed Elrick in an urgent tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are you holding up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you still fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will that force field last much longer?” Cain’s voice was sharp and concise, his stance confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He radiated the aura of a valiant hero, the type of warrior found in ancient legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under any other circumstances, Elrick would not have answered those questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, he was too rattled and too desperate to do anything but respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I-I can still fight,” he stammered, forcing himself upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My force field can only hold for another few seconds before it goes down.” Cain nodded, his eyes flicking toward Diamon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Elrick couldn’t see it, that quick glance was full of meaning-an almost imperceptible signal passed between Cain and the Night Prince’s top enforcer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masking his true intentions, Cain turned back to Elrick, shouting loudly so that his voice carried over the raging storm of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I managed to push the two I was fighting away, injuring them enough to slow them down,” he said, half-shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they’ll return soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to wound Diamon severely before that happens!” Elrick, mentally and physically exhausted, found nothing suspicious in Cain’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own desperation clouded his judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hoarse shout, Elrick unleashed another surge of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More flames erupted around him, licking at the edges of his battered force field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the exchange of words seemed to take some time, it lasted only a fraction of a second amid the chaotic battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, Cain and Elrick charged Diamon in unison, their energies flaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson heat from Elrick’s flames and the Star Power of Cain merged, melting large patches of ice that had formed on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than retreating, Diamon roared a challenge and poured every ounce of his Soul Bloodline’s power into his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of sub-zero energy pulsed from his body, freezing the air into razor-sharp shards of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oddly, he seemed determined to avoid looking Cain directly in the eyes, even at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous impact rocked the dome as their combined strikes collided with Diamon’s power, generating a shockwave so intense it cut through the howling blizzard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a heartbeat, it appeared that Elrick’s team had turned the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everything changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick felt his protective aura sputter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radiant force field that had saved his life now began to flicker, its energy nearly depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He expected the inevitable moment, yet he remained oddly optimistic.  True, the loss of his force field left him exposed, but it seemed their combined efforts had cornered Diamon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick’s lips curled into a confident smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to channel his most powerful spell, a blazing conflagration that would hopefully end this once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the very second he prepared to cast it, a sudden pain flared in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes went wide in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of completing the incantation, he choked on a gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to slow as he glanced downward to find the gleaming tip of a spear protruding from his torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gasp escaped his lips, blood spraying into the frigid air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Special shoutout to
