The Colosseum Tower trembled beneath the weight of the duel raging atop its ancient heights.
Stark stood firm, facing the apostle, Olikar, whose form seemed to darken the very sky, crimson clouds appearing above.
The wind howled between them, but Stark's focus never wavered as the battle between human and apostle reached its critical point.
Hovering above Stark was the manifestation of his inner power: [EGO], a demon formed from his aura and raw will.
Its giant form loomed like a dark guardian, ready to strike at Stark's command.
The [EGO] demon's eyes glowed with the same crimson intensity as Stark's, and the anticipation for what was to come filled the air with a near-electric charge.
Olikar, in contrast, was unyielding.
His [Eclipse] Blast continued to charge, a godly skill capable of erasing anything in its path.
