The battlefield was drenched in chaos. The sounds of war echoed through the ruined landscape, but at the center of it all, **two warriors stood still.**
Dain and Kiran.
There was no unnecessary talking. No bravado. **Only silence.**
**Ryan Jim and Idris were still fighting in the distance, their clash shaking the very air.** But here—right now—Dain and Kiran had **one rule.**
**No aura. No special abilities.**
**Just raw strength.**
The tension between them was suffocating. Even the surviving commanders dared not interfere.
Then—
Kiran **moved first.**
**BOOM!**
Her fist tore through the air, aiming straight for Dain's face. But—
**Dain dodged.**
Barely.
The shockwave alone shattered the ground beneath them.
But Dain had already countered.
His fist drove into Kiran's ribs with **brutal force.**
**THWACK!**
Kiran barely budged.
Her muscles tensed, absorbing the impact like solid steel. **A monstrous grin spread across his face.**
**"Good."**
And then—
She swung.**
Dain barely had time to block before—
**BOOOOOOM!**
Kiran's punch sent him flying **hundreds of meters back.**
Dain crashed through **boulders, debris, and the bodies of fallen warriors.** He skidded to a stop, dust and rubble exploding around him.
For a second, he was still.
Then—he stood up.
Wiping the blood from his lip, he **grinned.**
_"Now that's more like it."_
Kiran cracked his knuckles. **"Come again."**
Dain didn't hesitate.
He **launched himself forward** with sheer **leg strength alone,** the ground beneath him **cratering from the force.**
They **collided mid-air.**
**BOOOOOM!**
Their fists clashed like meteor strikes, sending **massive shockwaves** rippling through the battlefield.
Dain landed the first hit—**a devastating hook to Kiran's jaw.**
Kiran's head snapped back, but he retaliated instantly—**slamming his knee into Dain's gut.**
Dain **coughed blood,** but grabbed Kiran's shoulders and headbutted him—
**CRACK!**
Kiran stumbled, but only for a split second before she delivered a **vicious spinning elbow to Dain's ribs.**
**THUD!**
Dain's body twisted from the impact, but he refused to fall.
Instead, he used the momentum to spin—**and delivered a devastating backfist to Kiran's face.**
**BOOOOM!**
Kiran's body **slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater.**
Dust filled the air. The battlefield was still **roaring with distant battles.**
But here—**only two monsters were left standing.**
**Dain cracked his neck.** His fists were **bleeding.** But he didn't care.
**Kiran wiped the blood from his mouth.** Then she smirked.
**"You're the first in years to make me feel this."**
Dain rolled his shoulders. **"Then let's keep going."**
And they did.
For the next **several minutes,** they exchanged brutal blow after brutal blow.
**No techniques. No strategy. Just power.**
Every hit sounded like **thunder crashing across the land.** Every movement shattered the ground beneath them.
**They were equals.**
But then—**they both slowed down.**
Dain panted, his muscles screaming. **Kiran cracked his knuckles, exhaling.**
They locked eyes.
They both knew.
**It was time.**
Slowly, **both warriors raised their hands.**
Their auras began to **awaken.**
**Kiran's aura—dark red and heavy, like the weight of a thousand battles.**
**Dain's aura—blazing golden, an unstoppable force of will.**
The very **air trembled.**
Distant fighters stopped what they were doing—**watching in awe.**
**The real battle was about to begin.**
And as their auras surged to life—
