Mixarnt had learned from his past mistakes. Last time, he hadn’t taken Kaelzar seriously, fighting with just his wooden sword and relying on "Enigma Enhancement." By the time Kaelzar unleashed his demonic blades,

he was already exhausted and out of breath. This time, he wasn’t taking any chances.

As soon as their clash began, Mixarnt summoned his radiant black sword, Enigma, and now he is fighting Kaelzar equally. "Hehe, sorry, but I learned from my mistakes," Mixarnt said with a grin, gripping the glowing blade tightly as they clashed.

Kaelzar smirked, his eyes narrowing as he studied Mixarnt. The boy was annoying, and Kaelzar was determined to crush him.

"You’re a clever little pest, aren’t you?" Kaelzar taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But cleverness won’t save you today."

With a sudden, vicious lunge, Kaelzar aimed to impale Mixarnt with his jagged, dark blade. The air around the weapon seemed to warp from the sheer intensity of its dark energy. Mixarnt reacted quickly, raising Enigma to block the strike. The clash of their weapons sent a resounding clang echoing through the room, sparks flying as light and darkness collided.

Kaelzar’s smirk widened as he pressed the attack, his movements fluid and relentless. Mixarnt held his ground, his radiant sword glowing brighter with each strike he parried. The battle was far from over, but Mixarnt was ready—this time, he wouldn’t make the same mistakes.

Mixarnt noticed that Kaelzar could now match his speed, realizing the bandit leader had also amplified his strength and agility. The force of Kaelzar’s strikes pushed Mixarnt back, but instead of crashing into the wall, he used it as a springboard, launching himself back into the fight. In his right hand, he held his radiant spirit weapon, Enigma, and in his left, the wooden short sword crafted from the World Tree.

"Radiant Barrage!" Mixarnt shouted, unleashing a flurry of ten consecutive attacks. Each strike glowed with radiant energy, slicing through the air like beams of light.

Kaelzar met the assault head-on, his unholy weapon crackling with dark energy. He moved with terrifying speed, his maniacal grin never fading as he countered each of Mixarnt’s strikes. The clash of their weapons sent shockwaves through the room, the force of their blows shaking the very foundations of the fortress.

Kaelzar’s dark energy clashed with Mixarnt’s radiant light, creating explosions of light and shadow that lit up the battlefield. Each time their weapons met, the air seemed to tremble, the sheer power of their attacks threatening to tear the room apart.

"You’re not bad, kid!" Kaelzar laughed, his voice filled with a twisted excitement. "But let’s see how long you can keep this up!"

Kaelzar’s strikes grew faster and more brutal, his dark energy surging with each swing. Mixarnt gritted his teeth, his arms straining under the force of the attacks. But he refused to back down, his determination burning brighter than ever.

With a roar, Mixarnt channeled more energy into Enigma, the radiant sword glowing so brightly it seemed to pierce the darkness. He swung with all his might, the force of the blow sending Kaelzar skidding backward.

"Not bad," Kaelzar admitted, his grin widening. "But you’ll need more than that to stop me!"

Kaelzar’s body began to glow with a sinister aura, his dark energy intensifying. He lunged forward, his movements almost too fast to follow. Mixarnt barely managed to block the attack, the impact sending him sliding across the floor.

But Mixarnt wasn’t done yet. He tightened his grip on his weapons, his eyes blazing with determination. "Enigma Enhancement—20%!" he shouted, his speed and strength increasing dramatically.

Mixarnt’s radiant attacks clashed with Kaelzar’s dark energy, each strike shaking the room. The two fighters were evenly matched, their powers pushing each other to the limit.

As the fight continued, Mixarnt knew he couldn’t afford to lose. The fate of Naeva—and the entire continent—depended on him. With a fierce cry, he charged forward, ready to give everything he had to stop Kaelzar once and for all.

The force of their attacks sent both Mixarnt and Kaelzar crashing into the walls and pillars. Dust and debris filled the air as they struggled to their feet.

"Ugh! Not yet! Enigma Enhancement—100%!" Mixarnt shouted, his body surging with radiant energy. He charged forward at lightning speed, his movements a blur as he closed the distance to Kaelzar in an instant.

"Now that’s what I’m talking about! Absolute Dark Enhancement!" Kaelzar roared, his body enveloped in a swirling aura of dark energy. He matched Mixarnt’s speed, their movements mirroring each other as they clashed once more.

The room became a whirlwind of light and darkness. Mixarnt’s radiant sword struck with blinding speed, each swing precise and deadly. Kaelzar’s demonic blades countered with equal ferocity, their dark energy clashing against Mixarnt’s light in bursts of sparks and shockwaves.

The two fighters moved so fast their forms blurred, their strikes creating arcs of energy that lit up the room. The air crackled with power as their weapons met again and again, the force of their blows sending tremors through the fortress.

Mixarnt’s eyes burned with determination as he pressed the attack, his radiant sword glowing brighter with each strike. Kaelzar’s grin never faded, his dark energy surging as he countered every move.

"You’re fast, kid, but speed alone won’t save you!" Kaelzar taunted, his voice echoing through the chaos.

"Speed isn’t the only thing I’ve got!" Mixarnt shot back, his voice steady despite the intensity of the fight. He spun, his wooden sword glowing with radiant energy as he unleashed a powerful slash. Kaelzar blocked it, but the force of the attack sent him skidding backward.

Kaelzar laughed, his dark energy flaring as he charged again. "You’re full of surprises! But let’s see how long you can keep this up!"

The two clashed once more, their weapons meeting in a blinding explosion. The room trembled under the force of their battle, the walls cracking and the floor splintering.

Mixarnt knew he couldn’t afford to lose. With a fierce cry, he channeled all his energy into Enigma, the radiant sword glowing like a star. "I won't let you win, Kaelzar!"

Kaelzar’s grin widened as he raised his demonic blades, his dark energy surging to match Mixarnt’s light. "Come on, then! Show me what you’ve got!"

The two charged at each other one final time, their weapons colliding in a cataclysmic explosion of power. The room was consumed in a blinding flash of light and darkness, the force of their clash shaking the fortress to its core.

When the light faded, both fighters stood facing each other, their weapons locked in a deadly stalemate. The battle was far from over, but one thing was clear—neither would back down until the other was defeated.
