Chapter 64: **Megicula**
Axel's voice dropped to a low murmur, his face devoid of emotion. "Megicula?" he repeated, his eyes narrowing as the name slipped from his lips. "So you're the one I need to kill first."
The figure before him, Megicula, grinned widely, revealing teeth that were too sharp to be human. "Before we take this battle to its climax," Megicula said, his voice smooth and filled with dark amusement, "I would like for you to enter my domain. No trees, no obstacles—just me and you."
Axel opened his mouth to respond, but in an instant, the world around him shifted. A wave of nausea briefly hit him as the entire environment morphed in the blink of an eye. Where there had been forest, there was now only desolation.
