Chapter 52 - Loss and cooperation for victory

Saruto sat in his room, his eyes closed, his mind in complete focus. Suddenly, Void began speaking to him telepathically:

"Yasaruto, since we now share the same body, we can share memories and everything else. I saw in your memories your fight against the Second Founder, and I'm burning with the desire to fight him. Please hand over control to me, and let's go back and challenge him. This will be a good opportunity for you because you'll be observing and analyzing his movements while I fight him, and thus you'll be able to find a way to defeat him."

Saruto's mouth fell open in surprise, but he smiled silently, impressed by Void's plan. He said,

"Very well… you have my word. This will also be a good idea to strengthen our synergy."

In a flash, Saruto was transported to the Concentration Training Room and took a deep breath. With his eyes closed, he entered the Second Founder's world, where everything around him became awe-inspiring and full of energy.

The Second Founder sensed Saruto's return and rushed towards him, standing before him and saying, "So you've returned, Saruto. Will you be my opponent, or that dragon?"

Saruto replied, "Void will be your opponent, so prepare yourself." He closed his eyes and surrendered complete control to the dragon. As soon as control was transferred, Saruto found himself in a dark void. He could see what Void saw and decided to use this to analyze and study Lucifer's movements, sharing this information with Void at the same time.

Lucifer was gazing intently at Void. He said, "Void, are you ready to continue our fight? But before that, I must thank you."

Void was surprised and asked, "Why are you thanking me?" Lucifer replied, "As a result of our last fight, my power has increased significantly thanks to you. So prepare yourself, because this time I will crush you."

The fight began, and waves of energy surged from Saruto's body under the dragon's control, moving with astonishing precision. Every strike, every step, every weapon movement was meticulously calculated, the analysis constantly intertwined in the shared mind of Saruto and the dragon.

The Second Founder retreated slightly at the first attack, sensing a new power he had never experienced before. He was fighting a being that combined human speed with the intelligence and analytical prowess of a dragon. The arena blazed with attacks, each one shaking the ground beneath their feet, light and shadows flowing from the powers of both sides in a breathtaking display.

The fight escalated rapidly, the pace of the clash reaching astonishing levels. Every movement, every attack, every maneuver was an expression of the dragon's speed, power, and skill, while the Second Founder struggled to keep up with this newfound synergy between Saruto and Void.

The exchanges were devastating, blows crashing together to create shockwaves that shook the arena floor. The Second Founder used all his experience and strength, but Void displayed astonishing analytical ability, a blend of his fighting instinct and the speed of human thought.

The fight continued its relentless upward trajectory until both reached the limits of their power. The dragon's strikes, though emanating from Saruto's body, were swift, powerful, and perfectly calculated, while the Second Founder tried to resist this astonishing surge of energy.

But at that moment, Lucifer was laughing as he was struck by Void. Void telepathically asked Saruto, "Is this guy crazy, Saruto?" Saruto replied, "No, when he enjoys fighting, he laughs like this hysterically. So prepare yourself for what's coming, Void."

Lucifer unleashed his energy, sending Void reeling away. Then, Lucifer's power surged, and he unleashed his Dark Ascent and Level 3 Armor skills. His strength began to press down on Void, who couldn't withstand the immense pressure and collapsed to the ground.

In an instant, Lucifer teleported to Void, who was stunned by his speed, and delivered two kicks to Void's body, sending him flying through the air. Lucifer teleported to him repeatedly, repeating the same attack and not allowing Void to regain his balance. Then, Lucifer grabbed Void by the neck, saying, "Now I'll do the same to you. Prepare yourself."

He began gathering energy in his finger, and Void was completely immobilized. He laughed, saying, "If you got me this time, just wait for me next time." Lucifer replied, "I look forward to it," and unleashed the energy he had been gathering, creating a massive explosion that sent Saruto flying out of the Founding Father's Realm.

Suddenly, the dragon began to relinquish its control over Saruto's body, allowing him to regain full control.

Slowly, Saruto opened his eyes in the Time Chamber, feeling a surge of new energy within him. Void said to him,

"I'm sorry, Saruto, for losing to him." Saruto replied, "It's alright. I knew this would happen. After every fight Lucifer has, his power doubles. But don't worry, Void. Thanks to you, I've found a way to defeat Lucifer, but I need you, Void, for us to win."

Void's protective instincts kicked in, and he agreed to Saruto's request. With these words, Saruto and the dragon began their intensive joint training, sharing the same goal of crushing Lucifer, to refine their harmony and prepare themselves for the upcoming battle that would test the limits of their strength to the fullest extent.
