In the depths of his soul, Walker felt an inexplicable mixture of awe and fear. As if in response to his emotions, the mighty dragon before him became engulfed in surreal black and blue flames, the intensity of their colors dancing in the darkness. The creature began to transform, its massive form shrinking and contorting until it assumed a startling humanoid shape.
Mesmerized, Walker gazed into the swirling vortex of flame, captivated by the enigmatic figure taking form within. Suddenly, as if carried away by the wind, the phantom he had been observing dissipated into the abyss, leaving behind only lingering sparks. In the blink of an eye, a mysterious man clad in obsidian attire materialized before Walker, an embodiment of the very shadows.
With a speed that defied comprehension, the man unleashed a lightning-fast punch, striking Walker square in the gut. Pain seared through him, leaving him gasping for air, blood catching in his throat. In a voice as cold and relentless as the abyss, the man declared, "That's for punching me in the face."
In the face of the enigmatic stranger's challenge, Walker instinctively retreated, desperately gasping for air as he tried to process the surreal turn of events. The mysterious figure observed him with an unsettling calmness, his eyes glinting with anticipation. "You seem to be a strong one," he remarked, a hint of amusement lacing his words. "I might enjoy this fight. Now, come at me."
Summoning every ounce of his resolve, Walker stood tall, his muscles tensing as he closed his eyes in concentration. A brilliant fusion of gold and white light enveloped him, its radiant aura pulsating with raw power. The energy condensed, cocooning Walker in a luminous shroud.
With a newfound determination, Walker opened his eyes, his gaze ablaze with determination. In an explosive surge of motion, he lunged forward, his fist propelled like a meteor, aiming unerringly for the man's face. At the last moment, Walker pivoted, his body a whirlwind of motion. His foot connected with the ground, sending shockwaves through the earth, and with a swift, spinning motion, he delivered a powerful kick to the man's head.
The impact sent the mysterious figure soaring through the air, a silhouette against the moonlit night. Seizing the moment, Walker defied gravity, launching himself skyward. His movements became a blur, a flurry of punches and kicks that mimicked the elegant complexity of a truncated icosahedron. Each strike resonated with an otherworldly force, the sound of their collision echoing through the battleground.
With each attack, Walker's strength grew, the force behind his blows intensifying exponentially. The air crackled with energy as he became a tempest of martial prowess, his every movement a testament to his newfound power and determination. The very essence of the battle seemed to tremble before his might, and in that moment, he was not just a fighter but a force of nature, an unstoppable whirlwind of sheer power and indomitable will.
In the aftermath of the fierce battle, Walker's adrenaline-fueled triumph was short-lived as he became aware of a distant commotion growing nearer. In a matter of heartbeats, a group of determined individuals emerged from the dense forest, sprinting towards the scene. Their arrival was almost instantaneous, their figures appearing like ghosts amidst the trees.
As the strangers approached, their eyes widened in disbelief at the sight before them. The man in black, who had moments ago been at the mercy of Walker, transformed back into the magnificent dragon, leaving them awestruck. Standing amidst the surreal spectacle was Walker himself, his posture exuding a mix of confidence and wariness.
In that charged moment, Walker scanned the newcomers, noticing the varied arsenal each of them carried. One held a gleaming sword, another a hefty axe, while another wielded a bow and arrow with deadly precision. The fourth person, intriguingly, relied solely on their bare hands, exuding an aura of quiet confidence.
Unfazed by the sudden appearance of these formidable strangers, Walker's lips curved into a sardonic smile. "Are you looking for a fight too?" he taunted, his voice laced with a hint of challenge.
In response, the group of four exchanged determined glances and wordlessly synchronized their movements. With a collective battle cry, they lunged towards Walker, their intentions clear. But before their onslaught could land, time seemed to fold in on itself, and in the blink of an eye, Walker found himself standing in an ethereal void, face to face with Parrodus, the enigmatic being from another realm.
