Raven stood firm, his aura swirling with unholy darkness.
Safari and Angeleva locked eyes, nodding once.
They moved in perfect harmony, their synchronization flawless.
â Fairy Beam!
Angeleva extended her wand, unleashing a piercing beam of radiant energy.
â Devil Hammer Slice!
Safari swung his hammer in a vicious arc, the sheer force warping the air.
Both attacks converged, striking Raven head-on.
Butâ
Raven gritted his teeth, feet digging into the ground as cracks spiderwebbed beneath him.
He held strong.
âIs that all?!â he barked.
Safari smirked.
âNot even close.â
The warriors began charging their ultimate finishers.
Their auras surgedâblinding light colliding with abyssal darkness.
Raven snarled, recognizing their intent.
Dark energy swirled violently around him.
â Abyssal Cataclysm!
A massive, pulsating sphere of shadow formed, devouring everything in its path.
Safari and Angeleva leapt together, their timing perfect.
â Devil Hammer Obliteration!
Safariâs hammer roared, unleashing a titanic force.
â Fairy Justice Nova!
Angelevaâs wand blazed brighter than the heavens, exploding with celestial fury.
The three powers collided.
BOOOOOOM!
The world shook as the cataclysm erupted.
The shockwave shattered the land, flinging Safari and Angeleva across the battlefield.
Even Ianâs camera quaked, the force reaching all the way to Hellsgate.
Safari and Angeleva crashed hard, rolling through debris.
Butâ
This time, they did not collapse.
Seven months of grueling training had remade them.
Panting, battered, they rose to their feet.
As the dust clearedâ
Raven stood.
Burned. Bleeding. Bruised.
His armor cracked, one eye swollen shut.
Yet he smirked.
ââŚYou think thatâs enough?â
He spat blood and straightened, defiance burning in his stance.
Safari and Angeleva narrowed their eyes.
Raven cracked his knuckles, his dark aura reigniting.
âI wonât go down that easily.â
Then his expression shifted.
âYou really thought Iâd rely only on negative energy?â
His aura warpedâno longer purely dark. No longer purely light.
â Abyssal Equilibrium!
His wounds sealed instantly as a perfect balance of opposing forces engulfed him.
Muscles flexed, eyes gleamed with unnatural brilliance.
Safari gripped his hammer tighter.
Angeleva steadied herself.
BOOM!
Raven vanished, reappearing before them.
â Abyssal Counter!
His fist slammed into Safariâs gut, blasting the air from his lungs and hurling him away.
Angeleva retaliatedâ
â Fairy Light Pierce!
A beam shot toward his chest.
Butâ
â Abyssal Guard!
An invisible barrier dissolved the attack.
Raven grinned.
âNot fast enough.â
â Abyssal Blitz!
He appeared behind her, knee crashing into her spine.
CRACK!
Angeleva cried out, crashing face-first into the dirt.
Safari roared, forcing himself upright.
â Devil Hammer Explosion!
But Raven met him head-on.
â Abyssal Rupture!
The clash detonated a shockwave, hurling Safari backward.
Raven stood tallâuntouched.
They were being dismantled.
Stillâ
They refused to surrender.
Bruised, panting, their bodies on the verge of collapseâ
Safari and Angeleva locked eyes.
They stood together, side by side.
Unyielding.
â
But Raven was merciless.
â Abyssal Blitz!
â Abyssal Rupture!
â Abyssal Counter!
Every strike broke them down, giving no time to recover.
CRACK!
Safariâs ribs groaned as he stumbled.
Angeleva dodged narrowly, her wings trembling with strain.
They couldnât keep this up.
The Fairy-Devil Unity Merge was their only hope.
But Raven knew.
He pressed harder, never allowing an opening.
âAngeleva!â Safari shouted, dodging another strike.
She turned, chest heaving, mind racing.
Thenâher eyes flashed.
âI have an idea. But you have to trust me.â
Safari didnât hesitate.
âAlways.â
Angeleva spread her arms. Her body erupted with radiant light.
â Fairy Decoy Illusion!
Fairy dust exploded, blinding Raven.
When his vision clearedâdozens of Safaris and Angelevas surrounded him.
âHmph. A pathetic trick.â
â Abyssal Dispel!
Dark energy surged, wiping out the phantomsâ
Or so he thought.
The real Safari and Angeleva were already behind him, hands joined.
Their auras blazed brighter than ever before.
âRAVEN!!!â they roared.
He spun, eyes wideningâ
Too late.
â Fairy-Devil Unity Merge!!!
Their combined power erupted, far greater than beforeâ
refined, sharpened, perfected.
Raven braced, crossing his arms as the world vanished in light and darkness.
The battlefield convulsed.
A colossal explosion tore across the land.
Even the God Sphere trembled.
Everyone held their breath.
The dust thinnedâ
Safari and Angeleva stood, exhausted but unbroken.
Thenâ
A sinister chuckle.
Raven emerged from the smoke, bleeding, batteredâŚ
But standing.
âNot badâŚâ he muttered, cracking his neck.
ââŚBut still not enough to kill me.â
His smirk widened as he raised a hand.
âGuess Iâll just use⌠ninety percent.â
The ground quaked.
His aura flared, golden light fusing with abyssal shadow.
Destruction and restoration, intertwined.
âYouâve had your fun,â he said, his voice echoing in dual tonesâboth divine and monstrous.
âBut now⌠you face despair.â
Thenâhe vanished.
CRACK!
Safari was sent flying before he even registered the blow.
Angeleva gaspedâthen BOOM!
A shockwave slammed her away.
Raven stood untouched, his dual aura raging.
â Abyssal Radiance!
Light and darkness surged in a storm, splitting the battlefield in half.
Every strike was unpredictableâdivine fire one moment, abyssal poison the next.
Safari and Angeleva barely clung on.
But the true danger loomed.
Above Ravenâs hand, energy condensedâdense, unstable, catastrophic.
â Abyssal Judgment.
The sphere grew larger, crackling with cosmic fury.
It wasnât just an attack.
It was destruction and rebirth.
If it struckâthere would be nothing left.
Safariâs grip tightened on his hammer.
Angeleva steadied her trembling wand.
They had to stop it.
But Raven gave them no opening.
His assault was endless, flawless.
Their bodies screamed. Their energy drained.
Time was running out.
â
Then, a voice entered their minds.
âListen up, you two!â
Safari blinked.
ââŚOlive?â
âThereâs no time! Bait him into overcommitting! Feints, taunts, misdirectionâforce him to slip! When he doesâthatâs your chance!â
Despite the pain, Angeleva smiled.
âGot it.â
Safari smirked.
âLetâs finish this.â
They moved againâdodging, countering, taunting.
âCome on, Raven! Is this it?!â Safari jeered.
âYouâre slowing down,â Angeleva smirked.
Raven snarled, aura flaring.
âYou pestsâŚ!â
He lungedâreckless, furious.
Dodge. Counter. Retreat. Taunt.
They weaved the pattern untilâ
Angelevaâs dagger slashed across his chest.
Raven staggered.
The opening.
âNOW!â Oliveâs voice roared in their heads.
Legend pressed his hand to Zack, channeling divine power.
Zack glowed, surging with holy energyâtransferring it instantly to Safari and Angeleva.
A blinding light engulfed them.
Their wounds sealed. Their strength multiplied.
They locked eyesâunited.
And togetherâ
They prepared to unleash the final, perfected Fairy-Devil Unity Merge.
