The two opponents circle each other warily, their eyes locked in a fierce and unyielding gaze. In that moment, time seems to stand still as they assess each other's strengths and weaknesses, searching for any advantage they can exploit.
With a sudden burst of speed, Derik launches himself forward, unleashing a barrage of spells in rapid succession. Zylum counters each attack with effortless grace, his movements fluid and precise as he deflects the onslaught.
But Derik is undeterred, pressing his advantage with unwavering determination. With a primal roar, he summons the full extent of his power, channeling it into a single, devastating spell that sends shockwaves rippling through the arena.
Zylum's eyes widen in surprise as he struggles to counter the force of Derik's attack. For a moment, it seems as though he might falter, but with a fierce determination of his own, he regains his footing and pushes back against the onslaught.
The two opponents are locked in a titanic struggle, their powers clashing with such ferocity that it threatens to tear the very fabric of reality asunder.

As the battle reaches its climax, the arena is consumed by a blinding flash of light, followed by a deafening roar that echoes throughout the cosmos. When the light fades and the dust settles, Derik and Zylum stand locked in a stalemate, their powers exhausted and their resolve unbroken. They turn in their final form.
As Derik and Zylum's final forms clash in a cataclysmic showdown, the environment around them is engulfed in darkness. Their fists collide with tremendous force, sending shockwaves rippling through the void. Amidst the chaos, Zylum speaks, his voice resonating with power, "So we did it. We destroyed everything."
At that moment, Zila appears, her presence commanding attention. With a slow clap, she commends their efforts, "That was good," she says with a smirk, before snapping her fingers.
In an instant, the darkness dissipates, and the world is restored to its former glory. Derik and Zylum exchange a bewildered glance, realizing the extent of Zila's manipulation.
Before they can react, Zila surprises them both with an unexpected proposal, "Will you marry me, Derik?" she asks, her voice filled with sincerity and affection.
Derik is taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but he looks into Zila's eyes and sees the depth of her feelings. With a smile, he nods, "Yes, Zila. I will marry you."
And so, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of their world, Derik and Zila find solace in each other's arms. They exchange vows in a beautiful ceremony witnessed by friends and allies, including Ereven, who sheds tears of joy at their union.
With their love as their guide, Derik and Zila embark on a new journey together, ready to face whatever challenges may come their way. And as they walk hand in hand into the future, they know that as long as they have each other, they can overcome anything that stands in their path.
