The Soul General growls, voice low and monstrous.
He slams his axe into the ground —
green soul energy explodes outward, cracking the earth around them.
His armor shifts and twists, growing larger, more monstrous.
The Berserk Form.
His axe doubles in size.
His movements become faster, almost unnatural.
His soul energy burns like a green inferno.
Raik staggers backward.
"This... this isn't a normal Soul Knight anymore!" Raik shouts, eyes wide.
Sylena raises her hand, trying to summon a cyclone of wind —
but the Soul General's energy crushes the air itself, making magic harder to control.
Kaelion grits his teeth.
His stone armor cracks just from standing near the General.
But he doesn't back down.
The Fight Explodes
The General charges.
Each step leaves craters.
Kaelion meets him head-on.
BOOM!!
Their clash sends shockwaves through the forest, ripping trees from their roots.
Kaelion is faster now —
his instincts sharper —
the Earth Stone whispering secrets to him he didn't know before.
He dodges a swing.
He counters with an uppercut, a slab of stone erupting under the General.
But it's not enough.
The General grabs Kaelion mid-air and slams him into the ground.
"You're nothing without your stone, boy!" the General growls.
Kaelion coughs blood but smirks.
"Then it's a good thing I'm not using it right."
As the General raises his axe for the final blow —
Kaelion's mind clears.
He feels the Earth.
He feels the stone.
Not like a weapon — but like an extension of himself.
"I don't control the earth. I am the earth."
He slams his fist into the ground.
A giant stone arm erupts from the earth —
grabbing the Soul General and crushing him into the dirt.
KA-BOOM!
Sylena gasps. Raik stares in disbelief.
Kaelion rises to his feet, breathing heavily, a glow surrounding him.
"You said I was nothing without my stone." Kaelion says, stepping forward.
"You're wrong."
"I'm Kaelion. And this stone chose me."
He charges.
The Soul General breaks free — but too late.
Kaelion's stone-covered fist collides with the General's chest —
shattering the Soul Core hidden within the armor.
CRAAAAAAACK—
The General roars in rage and fear as his body disintegrates into green soul dust, carried away by the wind.
