Crackle.

The body of the terrifying Demogorgon exploded as chunks of flesh flew apart. At the same time, gray flames appeared on Dark Silhouette's wounds that instantly healed him and opened an eye on his crown.

"Well, well, if you want to eat my soul, you should at least be as strong as the Dragon Progenitor!" The Dark Silhouette exclaimed in a thunderous voice as waves rippled across the sand because of how loud it was.

Whoooooooosh.

Parts of flesh instantly joined together in place as Demogorgon was reborn, however, now its aura was not as terrifying as before, for the monster that was facing death for the first time experienced what fear is.

"What...? How is it possible...?" The skeleton in dark armor muttered in a dazed voice, "No... It can't be... Are you really on that level to know about this technique?!"

"Huh, sure, so it's time to have some fun until my new friend gets us out of this crappy place!" Dark Silhouette uttered as he disappeared.

He appeared beside Demogorgon, bent down, and struck him with his palm. The monster flinched as it instinctively dodged the attack, at the same time, a torrent of gray wind rushed out of his palm like a tornado, destroying everything in front of it. The kilometer of sand and earth simply disappeared, as if someone had eaten it, as well as half of Demogorgon's body.

"Get the fuck out of here!" The Dark Silhouette snapped his finger, and a pulse of energy blew away from him.

The energy ripped the monster to shreds again, so when Demogorgon recovered again, it was in no hurry to attack. The monster just stood in the distance.

"What's going on...? Why isn't Demogorgon fighting...?" The skeleton muttered while in disbelief as for him, Demogorgon was the scariest creature in the world.

"Huh, isn't it obvious?" The Dark Silhouette smirked, "It's afraid. Look, a monster that is supposed to instill fear in any creature, even dragons, just shaking with fear like a pathetic insect! Isn't that funny? Ahahahahahahaha!"

The skeleton said nothing as that scene and the realization that it really, destroyed his world. Everything he believed in was shattered in seconds.

"Hey, runner, when will you be ready?" Dark Silhouette asked as he no longer worried about Demogorgon.

"Ten seconds, then I'm maxed out." Light Racer said since his legs were already starting to bleed, so he was gradually approaching the limit.

"Good. That's enough for one last move." Dark Silhouette nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Skeleton asked with a startled look.

"Nothing much. I'm just going to destroy everything here. This place pisses me off. I've lost too much time here." The Dark Silhouette frowned as the pupil of his eye on the crown became vertical.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A huge magical circle appeared in the sky, to which streams of gray energy were directed like whirlwinds. The space next to the magic circle was covered in cracks as it could shatter like glass at any moment.

Then, the Dark Silhouette pointed at Demogorgon and with an ice-calm look, said, "Megalodon, come and devour."

Whoooooooosh.

An enormous creature that looked like a shark with a horrible mouth emerged from the magic circle. It collapsed on Demogorgon with its mouth wide open and swallowed the monster along with a massive piece of ground. It was comparable to if a meteorite the size of a mansion had fallen there.

The shark didn't stop there, it continued to devour space until its energy ran out completely, so by then, there were space holes, anomalies, and destruction everywhere.

"What...? Why isn't Demogorgon recovering? Where is it?!" Skeleton exclaimed with a shocked look.

"Don't be ridiculous. There must be at least one drop of blood left to recover. I ate it completely, so how is it possible in this case? Just accept the fact that I swallowed your god like a fucking steak!" The Dark Silhouette pronounced before heading toward the fortress.

There was a golden ring around the walls from which the heat was already emanating due to too much speed. The Light Racer did his best to achieve top speed.historical

"Are you ready?" Dark Silhouette asked.

"Yes." Light Racer nodded as he changed his direction and headed for the geyser.

He was several times faster now than he had been on his first attempt, so this was his best opportunity to absorb Ether.

Tremble.

When the Light Racer stepped into the geyser's territory, he was hit with a special energy that should have slowed him down, but instead, the world turned gray.

'Wow, that's just like when I destroyed the golden orb.' Light Racer smiled while stepping forward.

He didn't know why it happened, but now everything but him was frozen. Even the particles of Ether that looked like flowing lava didn't move.

'Looks like I was destined to get here. This power is mine now!' The Light Racer exclaimed as he touched Ether.

Splash.

The world moved again, but the geyser was already empty. The entire Ether was around the Light Racer like a shell slowly absorbing into his body.

The Light Racer's appearance has changed as his hair has become shorter and white as snow, his eyes are azure, and he is wearing dark blue light armor with pulsating blue lines.

"You don't look so bad. You're Ether Stream now." Dark Silhouette said as a smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah... It's a wonderful feeling. It's like I'm outside the confines of time and space. It's amazing..." The Light Racer muttered in a dazed voice while looking at his hands that burned with blue flames.

"It's time to get out of here, isn't it?" The Dark Silhouette waved his hand.

"Of course it is. It's not a problem now, at all." Light Racer nodded.

He sighed, stepped forward, and turned into a blue flash that rushed toward the sky. The air rippled, and space distorted.

Crackling.

The Light Racer touched one of the cracks, and a massive hole appeared. However, he was in no hurry to leave.

"What the fuck..." Light Racer muttered as, from outside the zone, two huge yellow eyes stared at him.
