In the moonlit forest, Edward's frustration grew as he struggled to discern the identity of his enigmatic opponent. Alex had concealed his true face behind a mask to change his appearance. Edward knew that he was dealing with a highly skilled and elusive adversary.
"Who are you?" Edward demanded, his voice laced with irritation as he scanned the area, trying to catch a glimpse of the masked figure.
Alex, his voice distorted by the mask, replied cryptically, "I'm no one you need to concern yourself with, Edward. My only objective is to prevent that artifact from falling into the wrong hands."
Their battle raged on, and the forest seemed to conspire with Alex, providing shadows and cover that made it even more challenging for Edward to unmask his foe. As the night wore on, the moon hung high in the sky, casting an eerie glow on the unfolding drama.

The raw energy surged around Alex's form, creating a brief but feeble barrier. However, it shattered almost instantly under the overwhelming force of Edward's attack. The blast struck Alex directly, and the impact was brutal.
As the smoke cleared, Alex's appearance had become haggard. His clothing was singed, and his once confident demeanor was replaced by a grim determination. The pain he felt was a stark reminder of the level difference between him and Edward. The boss was clearly operating at an intermediate level, while Alex was still at the early stages of the intermediate phase.
Gritting his teeth, Alex knew that he had to find a way to bridge the gap and tap into his abilities more effectively.

Alex, his voice steady despite the chaos, took cover behind a moss-covered boulder. "You're playing a dangerous game, Edward. This artifact can bring nothing but destruction. It's not worth the lives it'll cost."
Edward, a mix of frustration and determination in his voice, moved stealthily to a nearby fallen log. "You underestimate its power, brother. With this artifact, our organization can reshape the world order. It's a game-changer."

Edward chuckled softly. "Hehe, found you..."
Suddenly, Edward ascended into the air, hovering briefly as he unleashed another Umbral Burst. Alex had no chance to evade this time. The dark energy punch collided with his body, and the impact was devastating.

He was lifted off his feet, his vision blurred, and his senses reeled from the sheer power of the attack. It was as if a sledgehammer had slammed into his chest, leaving him gasping for breath and struggling to stay conscious.
Desperately trying to stabilize his battered body, Alex knew he was in dire straits. With the last of his strength, he managed to utter defiantly, "You will die, Edward..."
But it was a futile message, as Edward unleashed his final burst, targeting Alex's chest. The devastating impact sent Alex hurtling backward, crashing into a tree. The surrounding trees were uprooted and demolished from the sheer force of the collision.
As Alex lay motionless, it became clear that he had given his all but was ultimately overpowered by Edward's superior abilities. Edward sighed, a mixture of disappointment and resignation in his expression. He had underestimated the brat, but in the end, he had emerged victorious.

As Edward reached out to uncover the mask that concealed Alex's identity, he was met with an unexpected surge of energy. It radiated from Alex's form, pushing Edward back and preventing him from unveiling the mask.
Edward's shock was evident as he watched Alex slowly rise to his feet, his aura flickering with newfound strength. The boss couldn't comprehend how Alex, whom he had believed to be defeated, was now defying death itself.
With a smirk on his face, Alex's voice transformed, carrying an air of confidence and power that sent chills down Edward's spine.
"Round two, old man?"
This unexpected turn of events marked a dramatic shift in the battle. Alex, reinvigorated and tapping into untapped reservoirs of energy, was ready to continue the fight with a renewed determination to overcome his formidable adversary.
