As the King walked towards, the battlefield, the ruins around him began to twist and writhe, as if reality itself was trying to escape his presence. The air grew thick with an eerie, pulsating energy that seemed to seep from the King's very being.
A figure watched the King with a mixture of fascination and horror. This was Bo, who had been tracking the King's movements, studying his powers and searching for a weakness.
Bo now realized that the King's aura was not just simply his presence - it was a symptom of his far greater power. A power that could unravel the very fabric of existence.
The determined vanished from Bo's eyes, who wished to learn more about his powers and find a way to stop him, but he found that it was useless cause what weakness could he find? And even their was one to create, with his level of power, Bo thought to himself that he couldn't make it.
Meanwhile, the King continued his march across the war-torn landscape, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. His sword, Devour, was ready to get a taste of Kris's flesh as its mouth was watering. The King though, stayed composed, as he seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy, and hungry for more.
"I'll give you thre-"
Before the King could finish, Kris vanished.
The King stood still. Kris appeared behind him ready to land an attack.
"You're not the only one that has been holding back," he said.

As the King stood still, his aura sent out trembling wave of fear. It felt like it spelt doom to life, and this very reality.
[Havoc Travel has been activated by the Target!]
The King suddenly vanished as well as soon as Kris's weapon was going to slash his next.
Kris turned around and spot the King slowly striding towards him.
Kris sighed. "This cocky prick. I should but this tool I'm the shed."
The King raised his sword which glimmer in the waste, desolation land. It was symbol of terror that had emerged. This King's tyranny was indeed unstoppable.
The King charged at Kris, and slashed off his head. But Kris once again revived and came back into the world with an even better body. Yet, he was cut off again. This became cycle as Kris's head would fall of his very head, vanish and then his body would reappear.
"That monster," said Bo who was trembling in fear.
Suddenly, he felt his body being lifted up and tossed.
"Do something, you worthless trash," Kris voice said blankly.
Bo, who was still shaken up with his previous and short battle with the King, reluctantly agreed to fight but at the same time was angry at the fact that he was being treated as a pawn. He summoned a forest of thorns to block the King's path, but he simply cut through them with his sword.
That was when Bo realized once again that he couldn't beat the King of Havoc.
Kris then a launched a fierce attack. He slashed at the King's vitals but the King's chaos aura distorted their movements, making them stumble and falter. Terra tried to recover but the King's left him drained of pride and determination.
Kris dropped back and inquired, "What are you doing?"
"I should be asking you the same thing," Bo said in a voice filled with fear. "Can't you see that you can't defeat that monster. His too powerful for us to even landed a blow."
Kris peered at Bo, blankly. "So pathetic. Being overwhelmed by thing's presence is one thing but quitting to fight is another."
He walked away from Bo.
"I wouldn't be seen trembling like that against someone that I barely even fought."
Bo then dropped his head. "God damnit!"
He got to his feet. In a desperate bid to turn the tide, Bo summoned a massive tree to crush the King. But he cut down the tree with a single swing of his sword, and then attempt to strike Bo down with a devastating blow.
But that former attack was only a fake. Bo's body began to glow and released a divine presence. He had unlocked True Essence, the equivalent to Ascending.
Now his connection to the nature was at peak. The King turned to face him and Kris. But before they could fight, the earth began to rumble.
The King inquired, "What's this?"
He was confused as this wasn't his doing and he had complete control over this world. This happening meant either two things: He was getting weaker or his domain had been taken over, yet only slightly. Duke picked the last one.
Trees began to grow from the ground and other plant life. The soil became rich, moist and healthy. Their were also creatures that came into existence. Some looking similar to ones on Earth while others were completely different. This world was completely changed from a dry dessert to flourishing garden. But with Bo powers, they were still no match for the King's chaos.
The King charged at Kris and Bo. "What is this suppose to do to me?"
He pierced the air with his blade. Kris slashed upwards seeing the King's weapon flying into the sky.
Kris said, "You'll never defeat me."
The King smiled, his eyes gleaming with chaos. "We'll see about that," he said, and raised his sword for the final blow.
He was then slammed by a gigantic branch that connected on his face. He was watching the shadows coming towards him but didn't believe whatever it was could touch him.
"Huh?" Duke inquired.
His body was then sent flying north and Kris followed. He jumped and raised his blade that was blazing with lightning, and readied an attack as he knew he had to act fast. The King's aura began to a reality distortion, hoping to disrupt the Kris's attack and give himself a chance to escape.
But that wasn't going that stop Kris as he infused himself with his own aura.
[Active Skill:
Aura - Rare/Lvl 2]
Even though his aura wasn't as strong as the King's, but it was enough to make the distortion faltered. Yet, the King struck Kris in the guts, and slashed him into two believing he had drown Kris in defeat.
But Kris respawned at the same area and slashed the King into two himself. The blade cutting through his aura and the lightning strengthen it.
[Reassemble has been activated by the Target!]
The Lone King of Havoc came back to living, but dominance over this world absolute was fading. His sword, Devour, now starving and enraged, pulsed with an otherworldly energy, as if it too was alive for its own good.
Kris didn't retreat though as he stood firmly. His was battling a noob, he thought.
A large shadow suddenly emerged and covered the whole world. Both Kris and Duke looked up, but the King was more confused than ever.
In the sky was a giant, abominable creature that resembled a fusion of a human and a lion. It laid one hand on its knee and pulled back a fist in the air. It then released the punch, the air motion obliterating the surroundings.
[You have died]
[Havoc Travel has been activated by the Target!]
"..." The King was speechless but also excited.
Dukes face was a canvas of shock but his heart was beating with newfound happiness. He leaped towards the gigantic creature ready to strike it done.
"I don't know what you are, but get ready to die!" The King yelled.
Before the King could even graze the creature, he received a shoe to the face.
[Active Skill:
Acceleration - Rare/Lvl 1]
[Mastery: 100%]
[Lvl 1→ 2]
Kris had planted his right foot into the King's face, halting the two in the air.
The large creature then ready another punch. It released the powerful blow at the two.
[You have died]
[Title:
Cheater of Death - Hidden Sacred]
[Title]
[Name: Cheater of Death.
Type: Permanent Buff.
Grade: Hidden Sacred.
Description: You can never truly die. Whenever you are killed, you will be reborn with a new body at peak condition and still have all system components that you had before the time of your death.]
The King himself was injured but not killed. He had been imprinted into the ground and seemed like a stain.
He then raised, pulling himself from the earth.
"That's it," he said with a smile.
The giant abomination the lifted his feet. It then rapidly stomping the ground without rest. On top of the giants head was Bo and was watching the humiliating display.
"To think that I would lose to this guy," he said as his body gave off an unearthly glow.
Suddenly, the creature disappeared.
Bo was in shock of this. "Huh?"
This wasn't the work of Bo and the giant didn't actually disappear. What happened was that it's body was cut into really tiny pieces that Bo's unfocused eyes couldn't see.
The King then appeared behind Bo and prepared to stab Bo in the back.
Bo turned around with his teeth grit. Suddenly, reality began to weave. The atmosphere became dense and then light. The color of the world flashed. It was like this world was collapsing.
He then showed Duke a middle finger. "Fuck you."
The King smiled and stabbed Bo into the heart, which his blade then munched on. "I can just make another one."
The world was then destroyed and all was left was an Abyss.
The final fight would took place in a void, landscape that held nothing, the ruins of imagination that was shattered. The Lone King of Havoc, his Devouring Sword at the ready, faced off against the Kris, and his ten arsenal of weapons.
"Fight me!" The King commanded.
He charged at Kris and jumped into the air. He pierced the air with his sword opening its wide mouth ready to feast.
"That is if I was dingus like you," Kris said
The power from the King's presence was accumulated into this last and final attack. But Kris wouldn't stand still and wait to be destroyed.
The Deity of Weaponry glanced at the King, his lifelessness still apparent. "You act like your a living thing but in all, your just a tool on this system. A tool that is meant to benefit me and make me stronger," he said. "And that will be your downfall."
The King charged forward, his sword flashing in the dim light of nothingness. But Kris was ready, but not to block the King's attack, but to counter.
The King was in shock as he saw his own body from a distance. Duke was confused. It was as if his head was decapitated, which it was.
[You have leveled up x13!]
Kris stood victorious.
But suddenly, he felt a chill in his body. He turned around to see nothing. But then he saw something.
His eyes beamed opened and beads of sweat came from his face.
"The hell?"
