Sol looked at Zesh with concern, "Why not both of us fight?"
Zesh's expression turned grim, "There's a move that I think can destroy him from the inside. Please, allow me to do this."
Sol-Stands aside
Zesh turned to face Kyll, "I will be your opponent.
The entire arena fell silent. Zesh locked eyes with Kyll, who met his gaze with a confident grin. The stillness was oppressive, punctuated only by the faint sound of birds' wings fluttering as they flew by.
Kyll sneered, "Alright, let's dance!" He charged at Zesh with a flurry of punches and kicks, but Zesh dodged them with ease. Zesh countered with a swift grab, punching Kyll in the throat and sending him gasping for air. Zesh followed up with a powerful punch to Kyll's face, sending him flying across the arena.
The crowd watched in shock as Kyll quickly recovered, his eyes blazing with fury. "Cursed move-1: Abel's Blade!" Two blades appeared in Kyll's hands, and he charged at Zesh with a deadly swing.
Zesh grabbed Kyll's wrist, but Kyll dropped the blade and kicked it back up with his foot. With a swift spin kick, Kyll sent the blade flying into Zesh's arm. Kyll then stabbed Zesh's left arm with his right hand, and the crowd gasped in horror as two blades became lodged in Zesh's arms.
Aza cried out in despair, "Zesh, noooooo! Get on defense!"
Zesh's eyes locked onto Kyll, his voice filled with conviction, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good... Anointed Joseph SM 3 - Realm of Visions!"
The arena fell silent as a globe of images enveloped Kyll, trapping him in a realm of nightmares. Kyll's screams echoed through the arena, "Urghhhh... always trying techniques and tricks... just fight me, bastard!"
Zesh's voice whispered in Kyll's mind, "Get ready to see things you never wanted to see before... I will bring you nightmares... visions."
But Kyll's screams turned to laughter, "No, no, no... mother... father... please, Cyro, help me!" Cyro, looks on with a cold stare... Master Ark's voice whispered, "He's destroying him mentally... that seems to be his plan... destroy him from the inside."
Kyll's laughter grew louder, "You believed this worked? Hahahahaha! If this was anyone else, maybe it would have an effect... but you're trying to overwhelm me with what I love... hahahahaha! I love seeing death, and I have no nightmares! HAHAHA... Now, all I have to do is find your hidden spot... see, I learned after Rouke put me into a room... there's always a way out... you just gotta find it."
Kyll's aura turned blood red as he charged forward, his blade glowing with an ominous energy. Rouke's voice whispered, "This isn't good... Kyll is way too strong for Zesh..."
Kyll's voice echoed through the arena, "Goodbye, weakling!" With a swift stab, Kyll shattered the globe of images, and Zesh's lifeless body hung in the air, a blade lodged in his heart.
Zesh's eyes went blank as he whispered, "I thought I saw him lose to me... what happened?"
Aza's screams echoed through the arena, "Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Zeshhhhhhhhhhh!" Aza rushed to Zesh's side, cradling his lifeless body in his arms as tears streamed down his face.
Hela's voice whispered, "No... this can't be..."
The entire arena fell into fear and despair as the reality of Zesh's demise sunk in. An Anointed had been lost.
Kyll's smile grew wider as he yelled, "Nextttttt!"
