The cavern trembled as Buji and the Skeletal General stood face to face, their energies clashing in an unseen battle of dominance. The air burned with anticipation. The Skeleton General's void-metal armor pulsed with an eerie black glow, while Buji's Emberheart aura flickered like molten fire, ready to devour all in its path.
A moment of silence.
Then—
BOOM!
The Skeletal General charged, its massive war axe ablaze with a dark crimson fire. The force of its movement shattered the cavern floor, sending debris flying in all directions.
Buji reacted instantly. Phantom Step. His body blurred, moving faster than the eye could follow. He sidestepped just as the axe cleaved through the spot he had occupied a fraction of a second earlier. The sheer force of the impact sent shockwaves outward, leaving a crater in its wake.
