Arran and Kasack met in a storm of clashes that sent ripples spiraling through space from the center of their collisions. Powerful blast waves of force originated from the two of them as they met blow for blow. Arran spun his staff in an amazing display of staff techniques, twirling the shaft dexterously between his fingers and palms, creating swirling loops of energy currents all around him. Adaptability had always been Arran’s strong suit. He had never trained in spear arts before yet the length of Soran’s body and the weight in his hand was familiar to him as if he was an extension of his entire body. With Soran, Arran's dimensional refraction technique found new meaning as he rapidly developed variants of it to go along with wielding Soran. New Moon Technique: Exploding Nova Style — Many Fold Sweep! Arran in a flurry of rapid sweeps employed the newly created variant of his New Moon Technique creating a powerful rain of concussive shockwaves around him arising from the imp

Arran’s stance left little room for maneuvering, making it hard for him to dodge. He could only block if he wanted to remain unharmed. But if he did that, then he would give up this opportunity to Kasack. Their positions would be switched leaving arran open to further attacks. Yet, dodging or blocking, arran did neither, maiming his position as if getting ready for an impressive layup. Flash! Time appeared slow but was incredibly fast. From the moment arran moved within two feet of Kasack and adopted his stance to when the dark light beam was fired from the dark star planet… everything happened in an instant. In the next instant, the dark light beam arrived. Phsw! The light beam pierced Kasack’s body like a sharp knife, entering through his back and coming out from his chest, leaving a searing hole two centimeters wide sizzling in Kasack’s body from which the rich smell of burnt flesh pervaded. The dark light beam was so powerful that not even a Shade Lord like Kasack could

In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp

With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou

The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort
