Kazuki's eyes burned with crimson light as he uttered the words, “Mana Manipulation: War Tyrant.”
His aura pulsed, and the space around him trembled. From that swirling energy, a massive titan forged purely from condensed mana emerged. Its form was humanoid, armored in ethereal crimson plates etched with glowing sigils. From its chest, a core pulsed with raw power—Kazuki stood at its center, controlling the behemoth from within like a war god commanding his avatar.
The War Tyrant raised one hand halfway, and the air split apart as a colossal blade manifested—the Ashuran Blade—forged from Kazuki’s wrath and will. As the blade locked into the soldier’s grasp, Kairyuuha’s eyes narrowed.
With a roar, Kairyuuha dashed forward, now fully transformed into his Phase 4 state—his dragonic limbs gleaming with vibrant scales, his horn crackling with demonic lightning, wings spread like divine punishment. Each flap shook the heavens.
BOOM!
Claws met the Ashuran Blade. The clash tore through space, sending a ring of distorted energy across the battlefield. Kairyuuha launched a barrage of claw strikes, each swipe releasing a searing wave of blue flames. The War Tyrant blocked and deflected, but each hit sliced deep into its mana body, chunks of its arms and torso dissipating into the void.

Yet the construct didn’t fall—it regenerated, limbs forming anew with every pulse of Kazuki’s magic. The two clashed again and again, blinding trails of fire and light scattering like fireworks in orbit.
Then—CRASH!
A furious impact sent the War Tyrant flying, colliding with a nearby asteroid and pulverizing it into space dust. Floating debris scattered in every direction as Kazuki’s construct reeled.
Kairyuuha hovered above, unfazed, eyes burning with godlike dominance.
“Is this all you’ve got, Kazuki?” he spat, his voice resonating like thunder. “Witness the true fury of the strongest soldier.”
He slowly raised two fingers, and the space beside him twisted. From the void emerged a new entity—a colossal beast soldier. It towered with terrifying majesty—quarter dragon, quarter kitsune, and half humanoid. Its muscular frame radiated savage elegance, covered in obsidian fur and scale. Nine faintly transparent tails swirled behind it like serpents of destruction.
In its right hand materialized a massive, jagged sword—the Blade of Kaiha, glowing with ancient fury. In the other, it raised a shield layered in countless seals—the Shield of Absolute.
Kazuki’s eyes widened as an icy sensation rushed up his spine. Even within the War Tyrant, he could feel it—that pressure, that power. This wasn’t just a summon. This was war incarnate.
He gritted his teeth. “So be it.”
The War Tyrant pulsed again, regenerating its damaged core with a blinding surge. Energy wrapped around Kazuki, fueling the construct even further.
The battlefield was set.
Kairyuuha’s summoned beast let out a guttural roar, causing light itself to ripple. Kazuki tightened his stance, focusing his mana.
In this realm above the planet, gods watched.
And below, mortals trembled, unaware that their fates were being rewritten above the stars.
