He dashed across the ancient hallways, splashed by murky waters, passing by a myriad of filthy creatures unbeknownst to them. He moved with a frantic energy, his heart pounding with the urgency of saving his friend.
"-aster, Faster, FASTER!," The Little Fella screamed with his whole being. His view stretched and flashed like a stroboscope as he desperately traveled across and through reality. With each jump, his perception flickered, catching glimpses of other realms and folds of existence. Every leap took him further, amplifying the intensity of the flashing lights that accompanied his movements. Rematerializing next to a Sewer Rat, he gave no mind to control his powers, cutting the creature into ribbons and leaving them scattered against the wall.
In his frantic state, he hardly registered the chaos he had caused.
Feeling the Anchor drawing near, he strained his every muscle, exerting himself beyond his limits. With a final burst of determination, he collided with the mana wall that separated the levels. His impact was like a bolt unleashed from a crossbow, piercing through the barrier with irresistible force. As he materialized in the same room as Monsoon, he crashed like a cannonball, sending piles of trash flying and leaving a deep imprint on the wall.
"What the fuck?!" The crab man was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the dark bolt that streaked past his field of vision. His shell shimmered with magical energy, hardening and cracking as additional layers of stone formed. Assuming a defensive stance, he demanded to know the intruder's identity.
"Who is it? Reveal yourself!" His voice resonated with power, its rough texture reminiscent of stones grinding against each other.
Within the depths of the shadows, he caught a glimpse of something small coiling. Acting swiftly, he wove a mind construct and effortlessly sealed it, trapping the mysterious entity in an isolated subspace.
Bang, bang, bang...
The creature's stubby arms relentlessly hammered against the barrier.
"Come on, you fucking shellfish! Let me out!" it yelled in frustration.
"How dare you?! What abomination are you?" he demanded, seeking answers.
"IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER! LUKE IS IN DANGER! GRAVE DANGER! RELEASE ME AND HURRY YOUR ASS, OR WE WILL ALL BE FUCKED BEYOND BELIEF!" it wailed, its voice scratchy and desperate.
"Luke?! What has happened? What's wrong?! SPEAK, LITTLE CREATURE!" he shouted anxiously. But before he could receive an answer, the ground trembled, and dust rained down upon them.
They fell into a hushed silence, their eyes locked in a moment of shared realization. Then, something extraordinary unfolded. Reality quivered as a wave of excruciating torment rippled through them. A dark, ethereal film distorted the magical items in the room, dissolving the cage that held The Little Fella.
Monsoon felt a heavy weight pressing upon him, his chest tightening as the natural order seemed disrupted. A looming cataclysm was near, and all hope appeared lost.
Summoning his inner strength, he banished the source of dread from his inner world.
He looked down at the stunned little creature that seemed frozen in shock, he reached out with his claw and picked it up by its neck.
“Ay! Claws to yourself!” it struggled in his grip.
“Silence you insolent creature! Guide me to where Luke is, you will tell me what happened on the way!”
They both rushed down into the sewers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a swirling spectacle of suffering, the supernova took center stage, bringing forth both blinding light and the death knell of hope to all who survived to witness.
From its midst emerged a living projectile, akin to a fiery missile streaking through the air. Leaving behind a trail of flames, it soared upwards, shattering a sphere of charred bone and reducing it to nothing more than floating flakes.
With an earth-shattering power, the Void Spawn, surrounded by a fiery plasma, collided with the Bone Rat. The Bone Rat, adorned in living white armor adorned with a thousand spikes and serrated blades, pulsated with veins that emanated a crimson glow matching the one coming from its eyes. The impact cracked and charred the armor, as a black fist wreathed in white flames struck the creature's chestplate.
To the Bone Rat's astonishment and dismay, its chest plate cracked under the unexpected strike. The resounding crack barely had a chance to echo before the creature was blasted backward, smashing through the makeshift protective shell it had hastily conjured to shield itself from the solar flares. As the Domain of Bone was cracked open, it unleashed a burst of raw energy and unleashed two formidable monsters. Like mighty drills, they burrowed into the very fabric of the earth, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Their powerful punches cleaved through flesh, stone, and soil, propelling them further into the depths with every relentless blow.

Beneath the surface, they embarked on a wild subterranean journey, ripping through the earth as effortlessly as peeling away layers of skin. It was a sight beyond belief as unimaginable powers clashed, stripping away skin, flesh, bone, and even fur. In a vice-like grip, the two monsters engaged in a savage and unrelenting battle, their movements a whirlwind of chaos. Flames danced and crackled around their limbs, leaving behind a scorched and tainted trail. Poison-coated claws and wicked spikes found their mark, puncturing the seemingly endless depths of their opponent's flesh, each strike leaving behind a vivid display of destruction.
As they entered the tunnel within the second level of the Sewers, the sheer force of their presence caused devastation in its wake. The concussive shockwaves annihilated everything within reach, scorching plants to ashes and evaporating water instantaneously. The impact against the stones propelled them apart, creating a substantial distance between the combatants.
The Rat maintained its upright stance, reinforcing its armor as it slid backward. In a grotesque display of transformation, one of its arms sprouted a scimitar blade while the other grew into horrifying claws, each the size of a grown man. Meanwhile, its adversary moved on all fours, digging deep into the stone and leaving behind snaking trails of black, coiling flames. It remained rooted in place, seamlessly merging with its surroundings.
Without warning, the two creatures collided, their clash reverberating through the tunnel. Cracks spiderwebbed across the walls, ominously hinting at an imminent collapse. The Bone Claw seized the screeching Void monster, slamming it forcefully against the wall. Simultaneously, the Rat propelled itself forward, dragging the Obsidian Devil along the wall, scraping its skull against the ancient stones.
In an ecstatic frenzy of glee and madness, the Void Spawn wailed, its eerie cackles reverberating through the tunnel as it relished the ongoing battle. Slashed and crushed by the talons and blade of the Rat-like creature, it retaliated with fervor, clawing furiously and leaving deep gashes on the regenerating bone arm.
However, the Rat decided it was time to put an end to their advance. Bringing its foot down with a resounding thud, it halted their relentless momentum. With a sweeping motion of its left-bladed arm, it sliced through the tunnel with laser-like precision, cleaving the path before it. The blade found its mark, piercing the Void monster it held at bay, though its progress seemed to be impeded by a viscous resistance, like trudging through a treacherous quagmire. Slowly but surely, the chipped blade delved deeper into the beast's innards.
The creature, however, did not take kindly to this audacious act.
In an unprecedented move for its kind, the Void Spawn focused its attention inward, delving deep into the memories of its host. It snatched pieces of imagination, countless repetitions, habits, and emotions, devouring them greedily to fuel its vengeful power.
With the blade scraping against its spine, the creature twisted, using the wall and floor for leverage. One arm firmly grasped the enemy's claw, its own sharp claws digging deep into the bone gauntlet, while the other hand ignited with eerie night flames. With deliberate yet unstoppable movements, it unleashed a straight punch that distorted and consumed the surrounding light.
As the arm extended, muscles rippled and veins throbbed with an aura of pure, primal power. The Rat's instincts screamed at it to escape, to create distance between them. However, the blade embedded in Luke's abdomen and the lock on the gauntlet left no room for escape.
Just as the Rat's frantic eyes scanned for a possible escape route, the Void Spawn's fist made a gentle yet impactful connection with its snout. At that moment, a chorus of voices, like thousands of insects in perfect unison, whispered a single phrase:
"PUNKT ZEROWY" (ZERO POINT), filling the Rat's ears with an eerie symphony.
A thunderous shockwave accompanied by ominous dark flames collided with the Bone armor, crashing against its entirety and leaving circular indentations with each pulse of power. The once formidable armor cracked and disintegrated under the relentless assault. The face plate peeled off, taking with it the fur and eyelids, while the snout crumpled inward, causing teeth to be expelled like a swarm of rabid bees.
In a cataclysmic convergence, the point of impact bent inward, stretching reality to its limits. Then, with an explosive burst, a minuscule dark vortex materialized, defying the laws of matter and time. From its depths, bolts of sinister lightning crackled, consuming what they could and repelling the rest. The resulting blast waged a war against the very fabric of the world, a clash of chaos and order.
Under the relentless assault of forces and flame waves, the blade shattered, unable to withstand the onslaught. The Rat's body was propelled backward like an artillery shell, moving faster than sound could follow. It collided with the wall, rebounding down the tunnel, limbs flailing and crashing into everything in its path. Dust, debris, and clumps of bone fur mixed with blood filled the tunnels as the mangled body disappeared from the Void beast's sight. Thunderous booms reverberated after each impact, marking its uncontrolled journey.
Luke's body, enveloped in the ethereal embrace of the Void, gracefully slid off the blade that had impaled it, leaving behind a trail of inky blackness on the wall. It descended to all fours on the scorched and ravaged floor, the dying embers dancing around its form like twisted constellations. The intense heat seared its palms, causing them to sizzle and emit a foul stench. Every inch of its being was drenched in dark blood, which oozed from its wounds and tainted the surroundings with a corruptive essence that devoured all it touched.
A burst of ichor erupted from Luke's radiating grin, manifesting as a guttural laughter that reverberated through its twisted form. Clasping its claws with a vice-like grip, it compressed the very earth beneath its grasp. With lightning speed, it shot off toward its prey, its singular focus blinding it to anything else in existence.
Within the blink of an eye, the shattered remnants of the tunnel came into focus, a testament to the chaos that had unfolded. The disoriented creature, now a pitiful sight, attempted to gather itself amidst the debris. Stripped of its protective shell, skinned alive, it quivered with impotent rage, unable to muster the strength to rise.
Skinned alive with most of its exoskeleton gone, it trembled in impotent rage unable to muster the strength to get up.
Their eyes locked in a chilling exchange, and the bloodlust within Luke erupted with a maniacal laugh that resonated through the air like a haunting melody. The sheer intensity of its murderous intent scorched the stones surrounding them, forever etching a cursed mark upon the desolate tunnels. Life would wither and decay in the wake of their confrontation, leaving behind an abyss where hope dared not tread.
The Void Spawn denied its prey any chance to react, seamlessly traversing the realms between realities with an otherworldly fluidity. In an instant, it materialized next to the hapless creature, its arrival marked only by a fleeting ripple in the fabric of existence. Bending low, as if paying homage or bidding a final farewell, the monstrous being extended one of its legs backward and pointed it toward the ceiling.
Letting out a guttural and scratchy roar, the Void Spawn descended upon its target, its leg arcing in a menacing half-moon shape. The resulting gusts of wind whipped through the tunnel, causing the walls to tremble in anticipation. Like a symphony of chaos, the monster's legs and sharp talons collided with the rat's exposed belly, launching it into the unforgiving embrace of the ceiling before bouncing back like a rocky trampoline.
Before gravity could claim its hold and drag the creature back to the earth, the Void Spawn tapped a single foot against the ground, triggering another acrobatic maneuver. With swift precision, it transitioned into a new stance, launching a scythe-like kick that propelled its enemy deep into the unforgiving wall. The entire tunnel groaned and trembled under the immense force unleashed by the clash of titanic entities.
In a cruel twist of fate, the Void Spawn's onslaught continued unabated. Before the hapless creature could even expel the blood that filled its ravaged lungs and stomach, an overwhelming telekinetic force seized hold of the abomination, hurtling it into the clutches of its assailant. With a vice-like grip, the Void Spawn unleashed a devastating flying knee strike, driving it deep into the opponent's body.
The impact was catastrophic, tearing open the creature's innards in a grotesque display of gore. The spine protruded from the exposed cavity, entangled amidst a squelching mess of entrails. A tormented howl of anguish erupted from its mangled snout, a desperate plea for mercy and respite that would ultimately fall on deaf ears.
Any semblance of hope was ruthlessly crushed as the Eyeless Void Spawn, unleashed a barrage of headbutts with relentless fury. Each brutal strike propelled them through the very walls, hurtling into another desolate tunnel. Skulls crumbled under the unyielding force, releasing a torrent of brain matter and blood that adorned the obsidian-black figure, its form illuminated by a ghastly primordial light emanating from the cavernous wound in its chest.
Unmoved by its opponent's feeble resistance, the Void Spawn reveled in the ecstasy of slaughter. With a chilling sense of satisfaction, it continued to devour and reduce the rat's remains to a sickening paste, relishing in the primal act of annihilation.
