Exiting the crystal maze, a larger, cavernous expanse awaited Johan. Its walls shimmered with the same crystalline beauty, yet before him stood a sight that halted him in his tracks: two perfect replicas of himself. They seemed to breathe, eyes glinting with an eerie coldness. Their Hellflame Kagunes blazed behind them, mirroring Johan's own.
'Stay calm,' he coached himself internally, feeling the weight of the situation. 'They're not real, just another test of this cursed floor.'
Danny whispered from behind, "Johan, you okay taking on yourself?"
Johan smirked, "Always wondered who'd win in a fight between me and, well, me."
Wasting no time, Johan summoned the fury of his Hellflame Kagune and lunged at the duplicate to his right. As he anticipated, it responded in kind, their Kagunes colliding in a maelstrom of fire, each trying to overpower the other.
