ARCANE LEGACY: The Journey Of The Unknown

⚔️ Battle: Show & Drake vs Delbren

The earth cracked under the pressure of Delbren's armor magic. His sheer presence distorted the mana around them.

> Delbren (taunting):

"Let's see how long you can last."

Show ignited both fists with twin streams of flame while Drake summoned sharp icicles from thin air.

> Show (smirking):

"You're not the only one packing armor."

> Drake:

"Let's go."

Delbren charged forward, fist slamming into the ground and sending up stone spikes. The two dodged, countering with a combination maneuver—Drake freezing the air, Show igniting it to blast a steam explosion, disorienting Delbren.

But Delbren activated Titan Core Mode, his armor shifting and becoming heavier, stronger.

> Delbren:

"Enough warm-up!"

He clapped both hands and summoned magic armor soldiers from the ground to swarm Show and Drake.

> Show (grinning):

"Time to go wild!"

They split. Drake danced across the ice field, freezing limbs and breaking armor. Show launched fiery barrages, chaining combos—one-two punches infused with fire.

Delbren joined the fray, clashing directly with Show in a flurry of brute strength.

> Show:

"If your armor's impenetrable, I'll heat it up from inside!"

He launched a fire stream into Delbren's chest plate, heating the core.

> Drake (joining in):

"And I'll freeze it from outside."

Fire and ice met at the armor's center—causing a mana implosion that shattered Delbren's magic defenses.

With one final combo move—"Blazing Glacier Fist"—they sent Delbren flying into a wall. His armor cracked, and he slumped over, defeated.

🌲 Raelyn & Cyrus vs Keto – Brief Glimpse

Raelyn's light shields clashed against a barrage of tree roots, while Cyrus brute-forced through the forest. Keto fought strategically, manipulating vines as whips and shields.

But together—light precision and raw power—Raelyn and Cyrus overwhelmed him. Raelyn used "Radiant Pulse" to blind him, and Cyrus delivered the final strike.

> Cyrus:

"You're just bark."

🚨 The Aftermath

With both Delbren and Keto defeated, the academy began to stabilize. Other students, bruised and tired, regrouped as the teachers returned, finally breaking through the illusions.

Professor Eldren, Professor Mira, and others rushed in, shocked.

> Professor Eldren:

"What happened here?"

> Teach (stoic):

"The students happened."

Principal Alden appeared, eyes intense.

> Principal Alden:

"Delbren and Keto were not the leaders... they were pawns."

The students looked confused.

> Alden (seriously):

"That was the Dark Order's weakest division. A mere scouting party. Testing your strength..."

> Alden (to Show):

"And now they know your names."

🛡️ Meanwhile… in the Sky

Far above the clouds, a dark airship hovered, coated in shadow and metal. Inside, a chamber of stone and energy glowed with sigils.

Hibris stood before a throne-like structure, kneeling.

Four figures surrounded the room—only their silhouettes visible. One had long twisted horns. One had serpentine tattoos. One carried a chained weapon. The fourth… said nothing.

> Hibris:

"The mission was a success. Their power has awakened… but they are still raw."

A low voice from the shadows replied:

> ???:

"Good. The prophecy flows as expected."

> Hibris (smirking):

"Arcane Academy… will burn soon."

They looked toward a magic window showing Show, Karen, Drake, and the others standing in the ruined courtyard of Arcane Academy—tired, injured, but proud.

🎇 Final Scene

At sunset, the first-year students sat outside the dorms. Bandaged, smiling, victorious.

> Show (smiling at the sky):

"I don't know who I am yet… but I know what I'm fighting for."

Karen glanced at him quietly. Drake leaned against a pillar. Raelyn was unusually quiet. Lina offered everyone healing tea. Hibiki loudly cheered them up.

> Narration – Principal Alden (VO):

"The spark has ignited.

The flames of destiny now burn.

And what once was just an academy…

…now stands as the final wall between light and darkness."
