I focused my attention on the fiery figure before us. He was an imposing figure, surrounded by an aura of intense heat and flames. The air shimmered and distorted around him, betraying the immense power he possessed.
"I am Deathstorm," he boomed, his voice carrying an otherworldly resonance. "Hand over that box along with the girl and I will leave your corpses intact... Or, else..." He summoned a storm of flames around his body.
"Here is a counteroffer, kill yourself and save yourself a world of pain," I taunted with a smirk. Finally, I get to use my power against someone evil. I wonder whose flames are superior, my void flames or his flames.
Deathstorm's flames intensified, and I focused my energy, channeling the power of the void within me. The violet flames surged from my hands, swirling with a dark intensity. The void flames danced in the air, drawing in everything around them like a black hole hungry for destruction.
Deathstorm's eyes narrowed, clearly intrigued by my display of power. "Interesting. A new kind of energy. You will become my perfect test subject. I wonder how far I can evolve after merging myself with your body? Humm... I have to make sure to keep your body intact."
"For that, you have to survive first, my fiery friend," I took my fighting stance, "You girls, clear the area."
The box in my hand is kinda vibrating with low humming noise.
[Inventory is now available]
[Do you wish to store the box in System's inventory?]
'Yeah, keep it safe.' The box disappeared from my hand. An inventory to store objects is interesting. It's like those video games.
As Deathstorm's transformation took place, his appearance became even more menacing. The pale blue flames with dark edges enveloped his body, casting an eerie glow in the dim light. His once-fiery eyes now glowed a piercing blue, filled with a malevolent hunger. His voice took on a gruff and sinister tone, adding to the overall aura of darkness surrounding him. His skeletal frame was now visible, the flames burning atop his head like a twisted crown.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mixed with caution. This was no ordinary adversary, and I had to be prepared for whatever he had in store. The void flames crackled with anticipation, ready to clash against his newly enhanced powers.
"Your arrogance will be your downfall," Deathstorm hissed, his voice carrying a tinge of madness. "I will absorb that new energy of yours."
"Yeah? Come and get some," I replied confidently, bracing myself for the impending battle. The void flames surged around me, their dark energy pulsating with power. I could feel the intensity building within me, ready to be unleashed against Deathstorm.
As Deathstorm charged towards me, I met his attack head-on. The clash of our powers created a shockwave, sending ripples of energy through the surrounding area. The force of the impact pushed us apart, but I quickly regained my footing.
Deathstorm unleashed a torrent of flames, aiming to engulf me in his inferno. But I was prepared. I summoned a vortex of void energy, creating a swirling barrier that absorbed and neutralized the flames. The dark void energy countered the fiery onslaught, creating an eerie display of opposing forces.
With a focused gaze, I retaliated. The void flames erupted from my palms, forming tendrils of darkness that reached out towards Deathstorm. They twisted and writhed, seeking to ensnare and consume him. The dark energy seeped into his flames, attempting to extinguish their power.
But Deathstorm was not so easily defeated. He fought back with ferocity, using his augmented powers to manipulate the flames and unleash a barrage of fireballs towards me.
I charged in while dodging the fireballs. My movements became fluid and precise. The void flames acted as my shield, absorbing the heat and protecting me from harm. I could feel the power of the void coursing through me, empowering my every action.
Closing the distance between us, I launched a counterattack.
Gathering the energy of the void into my palm, I pushed it into his stomach, sending him flying a few hundred meters or so.
Deathstorm crashed into the ground, creating a small crater upon impact. He groaned in pain, struggling to regain his footing. The void flames continued to swirl around me, their power pulsating with intensity.
I didn't waste a moment, seizing the opportunity to press my advantage. Closing the distance between us once again, I summoned a vortex of void energy around my fist. With a powerful strike, I aimed for Deathstorm's chest, intending to incapacitate him.
But he was quick to react. With a burst of blue flames, he phased out of the way and flew up in the air. Blue flames were burning under his feet. It's like he is manipulating his flames to fly. If he can do it, so can I.
"Now, you will feel the real power of my Firestorm Matrix," Deathstorm yelled as he began to concentrate his flames into his palm, a surge of power emanated from him. The air crackled with electricity, and the intense heat intensified, making it difficult to stand nearby. It was clear that Deathstorm was preparing to unleash a devastating attack.
Not one to be outdone, I channeled the energy of the void within me. The swirling void flames intensified, growing in size and intensity. I could feel their power surging through my veins, ready to counter whatever Deathstorm had in store.
"Bring it on!" I shouted, my voice filled with determination.
With a swift motion, Deathstorm unleashed a massive blast of blue flames from his palm. The intense wave of fire hurtled towards me, threatening to engulf me completely. But I wouldn't let that happen.
Summoning all my strength, I released a concentrated beam of void energy from my outstretched hand. The beam collided with Deathstorm's fiery blast, creating a spectacular clash of opposing forces. The air crackled with energy as the void and flame battled for dominance.
I could feel the strain of the clash, the immense power threatening to overwhelm me. This is the first time I am using this power to this level. I am doing my best to keep it in control. The energy swirling around my heart is intense and wants to burst out. But I held my ground, channeling every ounce of my willpower into the void beam. The void flames surged, pushing back against Deathstorm's flames, inch by inch.
The battle between us intensified, each of us pushing our powers to the limit. The void and flame intertwined in a mesmerizing dance of destruction, lighting up the darkened sky with their contrasting energies.
Time seemed to slow as the clash continued, each passing moment filled with tension and anticipation. The ground beneath us trembled, and the surrounding area was consumed by the sheer force of our powers. It was a battle of wills, a struggle for supremacy.
Damn, this fucker. If this goes on the entire island will turn to ashes. I have to take this fight into the sky. Only then, I can unleash my full strength without any worries.
Let's just copy his move and fly.
I focused my energy, mimicking Deathstorm's technique of manipulating the flames to fly. I willed the void flames to surround my feet, forming a vortex of energy that lifted me off the ground. With a surge of power, I ascended into the air, meeting Deathstorm at his elevated position.
[BAAAM!] The beam of flames broke, creating a massive explosive shockwave, throwing both of us a few feets away. I hovered around, trying to control my flames. This is the first time I am flying after all.
As I regained my balance in the air, Deathstorm quickly recovered as well, his pale blue flames flickering with a renewed intensity. We locked eyes, both determined to emerge victorious from this battle.
With newfound aerial mobility, I darted towards Deathstorm, using my control over the void flames to maneuver swiftly through the air. I unleashed a barrage of void-infused projectiles towards him, each one swirling with dark energy. The projectiles surged forward, seeking to overwhelm Deathstorm's defenses and strike him with their destructive force.
Deathstorm, however, was not one to be caught off guard. He countered my attack with a concentrated stream of blue flames, deflecting my projectiles with precision. The clash of energies created a dazzling display of light and power as we engaged in a fierce aerial duel.
As we flew through the sky, exchanging blows and countering each other's attacks, the ground below us became a battleground of chaos. The intense heat and energy radiating from our clashes caused the vegetation to wither and the earth to crack.
With each passing moment, the intensity of our powers escalated. Deathstorm's flames grew hotter and more volatile, while my void flames crackled with an insatiable hunger for destruction. The clash of our energies echoed through the air, shaking the very fabric of reality.
Deathstorm extended his right hand and caught one of the void flame balls and tried to absorb it.
"Got ya! Fool," I mumbled.
"What are you?" Deathstorm yelled angrily.
His right arm has started to disintegrate. It's crumbling like breadcrumbs. Finally, it's working. Took it long enough.
[Void Flames- Turns things it touches to ashes. Deathstorm tried to absorb it. Curiosity killed the cat. Since he is a mad scientist, he couldn't resist the urge to absorb the new type of energy he hasn't seen before.]
