Tension filled the air as Melton and Jemmy confronted Erebus in the dimly lit chamber. The walls, previously sleek and metallic, now appeared to bend and gleam due to Erebus's influence. A soft buzzing sound filled the room, foreshadowing the upcoming mayhem.
Erebus remained eerily composed, his eyes shining dimly, seeming to be illuminated by a sinister energy. He looked at the pair with a blend of amusement and contempt.
"Do you truly believe that you have a chance of besting me?" The voice of Erebus was a low, vibrating rumble that appeared to be coming from all directions simultaneously. "You are merely small ants below my feet."
Melton tightened his fists, sensing the power surging inside him. His senses became more acute, each action happening around him seemed to slow down as Nexus switched to its upgraded combat mode.
"Nexus, quietly scan him," Melton whispered.
