Wisker hovered above the altar, letting out a low, smug laugh.
"Hehehe... How naive."
Ray's voice suddenly rang out in Kumoi's subconscious: "Kumoi! Watch the gap on the altar!"
Gaia cried out in alarm as well, "His energy is being replenished through that crack!"
Kumoi abruptly looked toward the altar—there, in the depression Wisker had smashed into it, a tiny spatial crack could vaguely be seen, continuously pouring dark energy into Wisker's body!
"Damn it..."
Kumoi gritted his teeth and got to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Just as underhanded as I thought."
Wisker looked down at him, his eyes filled with mockery.
"The God of War Alliance's power is wasted on someone like you."
He raised a hand, gathering dark energy once more.

Before he could finish, golden lightning flashed again.
Kumoi rose to his feet, his gaze sharper than ever.
"Then let's see who falls first."
On the altar, golden light and dark energy collided madly!
Wisker climbed out of the crater, the wound on his chest healing rapidly.
He stared at Kumoi, a savage smile flashing across his eyes.
"Interesting... The power within you is more valuable than I imagined."
He licked his lips. "Those two auras—the powers of those fools from the God of War Alliance—have actually fused so perfectly.
"If I could turn you into my test subject..."
Kumoi ignored his nonsense. With a flash, he charged forward again!
"Lightning Flash - Thunder!"
Golden lightning spread outward from him, transforming into countless lightning serpents that rained down upon Wisker!
With a sweep of both hands, Wisker condensed dark energy into a barrier before him.
The lightning struck the barrier, sending countless sparks flying,
