Episode 2: Clash of Kings ⚔️ Scene 1: The Sword of Rebellion
The ground is cracked, charred by the force of their auras. The sky darkens with unseen power, the academy's magic shields flickering as if they might give way at any moment.
Anos stands tall, his gaze burning with intent. Takeshi, on the other hand, remains eerily calm, the faintest smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
"You still haven't realized, have you?"Takeshi's voice drips with disdain. His eyes glint with the certainty of a god who has seen it all."I am beyond this world's laws. I am beyond everything."
Anos tilts his head, his eyes narrowing.
"No one is beyond me."He slams his foot into the ground, creating a shockwave that rips through the courtyard. From the air, a huge blade of mana materializes above his head—The Sword of the Demon King. It shimmers with the brilliance of a thousand suns.
The students, watching from a distance, gasp. The very air crackles with power.
Takeshi lifts his hand lazily, the fingers twisting as though he's weaving a pattern in the air.
"I suppose I'll have to entertain you for a while."He snaps his fingers.
The world halts.
🔥 Scene 2: Time Collapsing
In the blink of an eye, the massive blade above Anos shatters like glass. The fragments freeze in mid-air. Anos' confident grin falters as he feels his time, his very existence, is being compressed.
"Wha—what is this?!"
Takeshi grins darkly.
"I said, I control time.""Time Collapse: Anos Voldigoad."
In an instant, Anos is trapped in a frozen loop—his movements, his voice, his actions—paused in an endless, unbreakable moment.
The students watch in awe and horror as the Demon King stands motionless, unable to move.
Takeshi walks up to him, his face mere inches from Anos' frozen expression.
"Did you think you could defeat me with power alone?"Takeshi's fingers hover near Anos' chest."You have the power of a king, but no mastery of time."
Anos' heart races within his frozen form, yet he cannot move. His teeth grind, and his eyes burn with fury.
Then, with a flick of Takeshi's wrist, time unfreezes.
BAM.
Anos, now back in reality, staggers. He feels the force of a thousand invisible blades cut through his body, his magic bending and fracturing under Takeshi's assault.
"Impossible!" Anos roars, raising his hand."Time Displacement!"
He shifts backward in time, aiming to escape the incoming attack.
But Takeshi only laughs.
"Don't you understand yet?"He raises his hand."Oblivion Rewrite: Time Itself—Unwritten."
Anos' time displacement is wiped out like a bad memory. He's pulled back into the present—a slave to Takeshi's power.
⚡ Scene 3: The King's Duel
Anos grits his teeth, fury boiling over. His eyes flash. He raises both hands to the sky, and with an earth-shaking roar, the Demon King's Ultimate Magic erupts—The Void of Destruction.
A black, swirling mass of energy engulfs the entire area, consuming everything in its path.
Takeshi's eyes glow brighter. His aura pulses with void-black flames.
"Fool."He raises a single hand."Abyssfire: Embrace of Nothingness."
The two powers collide, but Takeshi's abyssfire devours the Void of Destruction, unmaking it in an instant. The explosion of force pushes the students and onlookers back, but Takeshi stands unflinching.
Anos is stunned. The intensity of the battle has reached unimaginable heights.
"You... are nothing." Takeshi says, his voice deep, unbothered.
Anos stumbles backward, his body trembling from the sheer magnitude of the force. He glares at Takeshi, determination filling his eyes.
"I... will not yield. I will be the Demon King!"
Takeshi's lips curl into a wicked smile.
"Then come. And see if you can survive long enough to regret that declaration."
He lifts his hand again, and this time, the very air shudders in response. The entire courtyard begins to warp, as though reality itself is bending at his command.
"The Last Step: Everything is Gone."
🌑 Scene 4: The Last Move
The entire world trembles.
Anos raises his hand in defense, but it's too late. Takeshi's power has already begun rewriting everything. The world starts to disintegrate. The Academy, the students, even the air itself begins to fade into nothingness.
But just as Anos is about to fall into the abyss, Takeshi halts the destruction—leaving Anos on his knees, defeated, gasping for breath.
Takeshi lowers his hand and walks away, his voice chilling as he speaks over his shoulder.
"This world is a mere illusion to me. But your arrogance has been entertaining.""I'll let you live—for now. But remember my name.""Takeshi, the King of Oblivion."
And just like that, Takeshi vanishes into the abyss once more, leaving Anos and the students with nothing but a ruined academy and the sound of an endless, fading wind.
