The scorching lava floor burned away every single shadow soldier, leaving Ayush's mana bar completely drained. "Bro, my shadows just got turned into literal charcoal," Ayush groaned, wiping sweat from his forehead. "This guy is actually hacking!"
Even with the shadow army wiped out, the battle was far from over. Rei's party stepped up, taking Len head-on with insane coordination. Aryan and Nakamu rushed in right alongside them, throwing down in pure, gritty hand-to-hand combat.
Len didn't get a single second to breathe. He was constantly parrying, dodging, and countering the relentless barrage from all sides. Annoyed, Len snapped his fingers and launched a massive Fireball straight at Ayush!
"Not today, main character armor!" Ayush yelled, barely side-stepping the fiery blast as it singed the air beside him.
Taking advantage of Len's distraction, Aryan leaped high into the air, coiling his entire body weight into a brutal overhead strike.
CRASH!
Aryan's fist landed clean on the back of Len's head, smashing the commander's face directly into the hard ground!
"GET ROCKED!" Aryan cheered. But the celebration lasted half a second.
Len snapped right back up, his eyes flashing with lethal intent. In a terrifying blur of motion, Len clamped his hand around Aryan's throat, driving him backward at sound-breaking speed before slamming him mercilessly into the earth.
BOOOOOOOM!
A massive crater opened beneath them. Aryan gasped for air, his hands frantically clawing at Len's iron grip, trying everything to break free. But Len simply sneered and delivered a point-blank kick straight to Aryan's chest.
Dust and smoke billowed into the air. Blood dripped from the corner of Aryan's mouth as his vision blurred, his eyes barely able to stay open. "Bro... he really hitting like a truck..." Aryan muttered, nearly blacking out.
Rei immediately cast a high-level spell to draw Len off Aryan. Floating into the air, Rei activated his specialty: Illusion Magic. Decoys of Rei filled the sky, completely warping the space around the battlefield.
Len just scoffed. Reaching out with a wave of telekinetic force, he snagged the real Rei directly out of the sky.
"I can see right through your trash illusions," Len said coldly, slamming Rei to the ground with even more violent pressure than before!
As everyone struggled on the brink of total wipeout, Miku stepped forward.
"Alright, my turn to carry," Miku murmured.
Miku use her skill: Poison Air.
The atmosphere around Len turned a thick, toxic green. Every single breath Len took burned his lungs from the inside out, slowing his reactions.
Nakamu didn't miss the window. Blitzing behind Len with absurd speed, Nakamu yelled, "Invisible Punch!"
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
A rain of invisible, high-impact blows smashed into Len's body from every direction, leaving bruised imprints all over his armor.
"We got him! Let's fall back and retreat while he's down!" Rei shouted, clutching his injured ribs.
"Hell no!" Ayush yelled back, his voice firm. "Bro, finish him off right NOW! We're not taking any risks. If this guy survives, levels up, and comes back for revenge later, we are cooked. End him!"
Miku nodded, her expression completely calm as she channeled every ounce of her remaining power.
"Miku... Ultimate," she announced, her voice low, clear, and ringing across the field.
Hundreds of glowing, kinetic-charged poison arrows materialized in the sky, raining down on Len like a deadly localized meteor shower! The sheer pressure held Len in place as the toxic projectiles struck his body repeatedly.
Len was on one knee, coughing up blood, barely holding his ground under the devastating barrage. He looked up through his messy hair,
"Ultimate... huh?" Len spat, a dark, chilling laugh escaping his throat. "I'll show you what a real Ultimate looks like."
