The Training Challenge

After Arkan's defeat, he became determined to grow stronger. He trained alongside Lyra, pushing himself to master his Ultimate Water Mod. Lyra, too, sharpened her Ultra Wind Mod, refining her control over wind.

Days passed, and finally, they felt ready.

One morning, as Xypher was meditating under the World Tree, Lyra and Arkan approached him.

"Xypher," Lyra said with a smirk. "We challenge you to a training battle."

Arkan crossed his arms. "We've both trained hard. Let's see if your True Fire Mod is really unbeatable."

Xypher opened one eye, smirking. "Oh? You both think you can take me?"

Lyra nodded. "We're stronger than before."

Xypher stretched his arms. "Alright, let's see what you've got."

Peak Forms Unleashed

The three warriors stood in an open battlefield, ready to clash.

"Let's go all out," Arkan said, his body glowing with blue energy.

"Ultra Wind Mod!" Lyra activated her form, her wings expanding as a massive gust of wind surrounded her.

"Ultimate Water Mod!" Arkan roared, summoning towering waves of pure magical water.

Xypher grinned. "I guess I'll match you both."

"True Fire Mod!"

A massive eruption of flames surrounded him, his power instantly rising beyond their expectations.

Lyra and Arkan rushed forward together, attacking with their peak abilities.

"Hurricane Strike!" Lyra launched a tornado at Xypher.

"Ocean Blast!" Arkan fired a massive water surge.

The attacks combined, but—

BOOM!!!

Xypher vanished and reappeared behind them in an instant.

"Too slow."

WHAM!

With a single flaming punch, he sent both of them crashing into the ground.

They quickly recovered, attacking from different angles. Arkan's water spears and Lyra's wind blades sliced through the air.

But no matter what they tried—

They couldn't land a single hit.

Xypher's Overwhelming Power

Xypher dodged effortlessly, moving faster than their eyes could follow.

Then, with one powerful shockwave, he knocked them both back.

They stared in shock.

Lyra panted. "This is insane… even with our strongest forms, we can't touch him!"

Arkan gritted his teeth. "How is he this strong…?"

Xypher landed gracefully, his flames flickering. "You two have improved… but my True Fire Mod is on a different level."

Lyra sighed. "I hate to admit it… but yeah, we're no match."

Arkan clenched his fists, frustrated. "I still need to get stronger."

Xypher deactivated his flames. "This form is great… but I'm still not satisfied. I want to achieve a Divine Form through training."

Arkan's eyes widened. "Divine Form?"

Xypher nodded. "A power beyond limits."

Lyra smirked. "Looks like we'll need to train even harder to catch up to you."

A Day in the Village

After the training, Lyra suddenly looked at Xypher.

"Hey, Xypher… can we go shopping in the village market together?"

Xypher blinked. "Huh? Shopping?"

Lyra smiled. "Yeah, I just… want to buy some things."

But in her mind, she thought—

"This is the perfect way to spend time with you, Xypher."

Xypher shrugged. "Alright, if that's what you want."

As they left for the village, Arkan stayed behind, staring at his hands.

He clenched his fists. "I have to become stronger."

Without wasting a second, he began training again.
