Chapter 32: Clash Of Titans 2
The air crackled with energy as Milim Nava's draconic aura surged, a palpable force that pressed down on Kai like a mountain. Her crimson horn glowed brighter, and her wings spread wide, casting an ominous shadow over the ruins of Soma's palace. The ground beneath her feet cracked and splintered, unable to withstand the sheer power radiating from her.
Kai stood his ground, his body trembling under the weight of her aura. His **Molten Aegis** flickered weakly, struggling to hold against the overwhelming pressure. He clenched his fists, his mind racing for a way to survive this. But before he could act, a new presence entered the fray.
From the shadows emerged a figure clad in dark, elegant robes. His crimson eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, and his very presence seemed to warp reality around him. It was **Guy Crimson**, the Demon Lord. His arrival sent a chill through the air, his demonic magic clashing violently with Milim's draconic aura.
"Milim," Guy said, his voice calm but laced with menace. "This tantrum of yours has gone on long enough. It's time to end this."
Milim turned her gaze toward him, her golden eyes blazing with fury. "Stay out of this, Guy! This has nothing to do with you!"
Guy smirked, his expression cold and calculating. "On the contrary, your little rampage is causing quite the disturbance. And as a Demon Lord, it's my duty to maintain order."
The tension between the two was palpable, their auras colliding in a maelstrom of energy that tore through the ruins. Kai, caught in the middle, felt as though he were being torn apart. The draconic aura burned like fire, searing his skin and threatening to consume him. At the same time, Guy's demonic magic seeped into his veins, cold and corrosive, sapping his strength and clouding his mind.
Newton's voice echoed in his head, urgent and insistent.
\*\*\[Warning: Host is being exposed to lethal levels of draconic aura and demonic magic. Immediate countermeasures required. Initiating absorption protocol.\]\*\*
Kai barely had time to process the words before he felt a strange sensation coursing through him. Newton was working overtime, absorbing the chaotic energies that surrounded him. The draconic aura and demonic magic were being drawn into his body, their destructive power neutralized—for now.
But the process was far from painless. Kai's body convulsed as the energies surged through him, his muscles burning and his bones feeling as though they were being crushed. He dropped to one knee, his vision blurring as he struggled to stay conscious.
Milim and Guy, meanwhile, were locked in a battle of their own. Milim launched herself at Guy, her wings propelling her forward with blinding speed. She swung her fist, the air around it distorting from the sheer force of her strike. Guy raised a hand, a barrier of dark energy forming just in time to block the attack. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, shattering what little remained of the palace.
"You've grown reckless, Milim," Guy said, his voice calm despite the chaos around them. "This isn't like you."
Milim snarled, her draconic aura flaring brighter. "You don't know anything about me, Guy! Stay out of my way!"
She unleashed a torrent of energy, a swirling vortex of fire and lightning that tore through the ground and sky. Guy countered with a wave of demonic magic, the two forces colliding in a blinding explosion that lit up the night.
Kai, still on his knees, watched in awe and terror as the two titans clashed. The sheer scale of their power was beyond anything he had ever seen. And yet, despite the danger, he couldn't look away. Newton continued to absorb the chaotic energies, but the strain was becoming unbearable. His body felt like it was being torn apart from the inside, his mind clouded by the conflicting forces of draconic and demonic energy.
"Newton," Kai muttered through gritted teeth. "How much more can you take?"
\*\*\[Absorption at 47% efficiency. Host's physical and mental integrity at critical levels. Recommend immediate disengagement.\]\*\*
Kai shook his head, forcing himself to stand. "Not an option. If I don't stop this, there won't be anything left."
As the battle raged on, Kai found himself caught in the crossfire. Milim's draconic aura and Guy's demonic magic continued to clash, their energies swirling around him like a storm. Newton worked tirelessly to absorb the chaos, but it was a losing battle. The strain was too much, and Kai could feel himself slipping.
