A Deadly Clash Begins
Haru's eyes widen as he takes in the nightmarish figure before him. The portal pulses behind the armored giant, casting an eerie glow across the battlefield. Haru's grip on his blade tightens, his knuckles turning white beneath his gauntlets.
The dark figure's helmet turns, its gaze falling upon Haru. A deep, rumbling laugh echoes from within the armor, sending chills down Haru's spine.
"I knew that I'd be the one to deal with you after all," the figure's voice booms, shaking the very ground beneath them. "Did you truly believe you could seal the portal so easily?"
Haru grits his teeth, willing his trembling legs to stand firm. He raises his glowing blade, its light seeming dim in comparison to the figure's flaming sword.
"I'll stop you here and now. Regardless of what you plan to do." Haru speaks with a bit more confidence in his voice.
