As Ken stood at the edge of the battlefield, the winds howling around him, his mind was calm, focused. This battle wasn't just about proving his worth. It was about the journey, the will that had grown within him throughout his path to Infinity. It was about defeating not just the Wind Dragon—but the darkness that lurks inside every being in its own form. Only those with a will strong enough to overcome it would be called a hero.
He took a deep breath and whispered, his eyes glowing with a light of hope,
"Shall we begin?"
The Wind Dragon roared, the youngest of the four—yet the smartest and most agile in combat. Ken recalled, "If I could defeat the strongest—Earth Dragon—then I can also defeat the smartest. Not just with power, but with the will and mind I've sharpened on this journey."
Suddenly, the Wind Dragon unleashed his first attack:
Windy Gust — a slicing gale so powerful it could split mountains in two.
Ken narrowly dodged it, wind ripping past his face.
"The Earth Dragon's attacks were powerful," he thought, "but this… this is sharp and lightning-fast."
Before he could recover, the dragon launched another strike:
Hurricane Burst — a roaring blast of air strong enough to tear through land itself.
Ken barely escaped it again, gasping,
"If I'd been caught in that... I would've been shredded."
Gritting his teeth, he focused and said,
"Alright then. Now let me show you the power of wind... the power of my will!"
He unleashed his move:
Tornadic Flow — a mighty whirlwind with the force of ten tornados combined.
But the Wind Dragon, with his unmatched speed, dodged it effortlessly. Ken quickly followed up with:
Air Bubble Blast — a technique mimicking the instability of an overfilled air bubble, exploding with intense pressure.
This one landed—damaging the dragon and deafening him momentarily. But the dragon, even disoriented, retaliated with a furious combo:
Cyclic Burst
Double Wing Slash
Ken responded with:
Wind-Cutting Scissors — a slicing technique forged from compressed air.
High Atmospheric Pressure — a brutal wind-pressure attack, more crushing than the deepest ocean depths.
He then used a clever trick:
Dusty Wind — a blinding storm of sand and wind, stealing the dragon's vision for a few minutes.
But even blinded, the Wind Dragon relied on his heightened senses. Smell, movement, energy—he gathered them all into his final attack:
Wind Dragon's Streamline Flow
A legendary move—far more powerful than the turbine-forging streamlines used in massive power plants. It was a volatile mix of high and low-pressure air, compressing and ripping through anything in its path.
Ken was caught—slammed by the force—but because the dragon couldn't see him, he managed to minimize the blow. Bloodied but standing, he channeled everything—his spirit, journey, and belief—into one last move:
Gigantic Gale of Hope and Will
A divine windstorm, powered by his unbreakable resolve. It blasted through the battlefield, overwhelming the dragon, finally trapping him inside a prison of swirling air:
The Windy Prison
Breathing heavily, Ken stood tall.
"I will come back for all of you," he said, gazing at the dragon with compassion.
"I'll free you from your guilt. You're not just dragons. You're warriors… and I will save you all."
And now, our hero turns toward the heart of Infinity, where the legendary guardian awaits—
Lexus: The God of All Sword Techniques.
With a burning will, and hope that pierces darkness, Ken steps forward.
The final trial begins.
