"How foolish of you to believe that you can confront me alone," Lin Feng’s voice echoed with a demonic edge, chilling the very air around him.

"Well...my friends are busy handling your harem so...yeah...I’m going to be the one who will beat you," Graves retorted, masking his fear with a touch of sarcasm. Deep inside, he knew the odds were stacked against him, but he had a duty to fulfill as a summoned defender. It would be an honor if he could put an end to this existential threat, even if it cost him his life.

However, as he stood there, facing the monstrous Lin Feng, memories of him with Emily flashed across his mind. Her beautiful smile, her warm voice, and the tender touch of her hand. These thoughts bolstered his resolve, giving him the strength to confront the impending battle, even against insurmountable odds.

He glanced over his shoulder, looking at his comrades who were fiercely fighting Lin Feng’s associate. Seeing that they could handle themselves, he flickered his gaze back to Lin Feng.

"Let’s start this," Graves muttered under his breath, his determination unwavering. Activating his plasma cannon, he fired a short burst at Lin Feng. The searing plasma streaked through the air, heading straight for Lin Feng’s monstrous form.

With lightning reflexes, Lin Feng swung his bladed arm, intercepting the plasma projectiles.

The plasma beams clashed with his arm blade, causing a dazzling explosion of energy that lit up the battlefield.

Graves used the distraction to fly around in swift circles, creating distance between him and Lin Feng. He knew that getting too close to that monstrous form could be lethal, and he needed to assess his opponent’s abilities carefully.

Lin Feng, now fully focused on Graves, let out a guttural growl as he swung his arm blade in an arc, sending a wave of dark energy slicing through the air, directly at Graves.

Graves veered to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly attack. He could feel the dark energy grazing his suit, leaving scorched marks. This battle was going to push him to his limits, but he couldn’t back down now.

Regaining his composure, Graves continued to fire plasma bursts at Lin Feng, trying to keep the demonic entity on the defensive as he searched for an opening. However—Lin Feng went on the offensive, the wings behind his back flapping powerfully as he closed the distance between him and Graves. Graves knew he had to act fast, and with a quick thought command, his advanced suit materialized a plasma blade in his hand.

The plasma blade crackled to life, emitting a fierce blue glow. Lin Feng’s monstrous form and Graves clashed in a flurry of blows, their weapons sparking and sizzling as they collided. Each strike sent shockwaves through the air, and the ground beneath them trembled from the force of their battle.

Graves fought with all his strength, his muscles straining as he parried Lin Feng’s attacks. He could feel the heat radiating from the plasma blade as it clashed with Lin Feng’s arm blade, creating blinding sparks.

Lin Feng’s eyes glowed ominously, and his monstrous face contorted with rage as he pushed against Graves, his immense strength threatening to overwhelm him. Graves gritted his teeth, drawing on every ounce of his resolve and determination to hold his ground.

The two combatants were locked in a fierce struggle, neither willing to give an inch. Graves knew that this battle could go either way, and he couldn’t afford to lose. With a surge of energy, he pushed back against Lin Feng, their plasma blades clashing once more, and the resulting explosion of sparks lit up the battlefield.

"I must admit...your suit is strong," Lin Feng commented. "But remove that...what are you?"

"A handsome special forces with a beautiful woman on his side that is definitely not mind-controlled to like me," Graves taunted, trying to provoke Lin Feng as he continued to parry the monstrous entity’s attacks.

Lin Feng roared in fury, his monstrous form shaking with rage. He swung his bladed arm with even more ferocity, but Graves remained agile and managed to evade the deadly strikes.

"What’s the matter? Can’t handle a little banter while we fight?" Graves taunted,

Lin Feng’s eyes burned with anger, and he lunged at Graves with renewed ferocity. His bladed arm swung in a deadly arc, but Graves deftly sidestepped the attack. He could feel the rush of wind as the blade sliced through the air inches from his body.

"So it was true huh? You mind-controlled those poor ladies to like you? How pathetic! You must be a loser in real life and decided everything has to end because of your twisted desires," Graves taunted, his words like a verbal jab aimed straight at Lin Feng’s monstrous heart.

"SHUT UP!" Lin Feng’s voice thundered, his rage reaching its peak. With a powerful downward slash, his bladed arm struck the ground, causing the earth to splinter and crack. The shockwave sent Graves tumbling backward, his advanced suit absorbing some of the impact to protect him from the devastating force.

Graves rolled to his feet, his plasma blade at the ready. He could see the rage in Lin Feng’s eyes, the darkness that consumed him. The battle had taken a toll on both of them, but Graves knew that he couldn’t afford to hold back now.

Lin Feng lunged at Graves once more, his bladed arm slashing through the air with terrifying speed. Graves parried the attack, but he could feel the immense strength behind each strike. Lin Feng was growing more dangerous with every passing moment.

As the two clashed, Graves noticed a pattern in Lin Feng’s attacks. There was a split-second delay between each strike, a small window of opportunity. Graves decided to exploit it.

With lightning reflexes, Graves dodged to the side as Lin Feng’s bladed arm slashed through the air. He countered with a swift strike of his own, his plasma blade cutting through Lin Feng’s arm, causing dark energy to spill from the wound.

Lin Feng roared in pain, staggering back. Graves didn’t let up, pressing his advantage. He launched a series of rapid strikes, aiming for the openings he had identified. Dark energy burst from Lin Feng’s wounded arm as it was sliced further, and his monstrous form flickered.

Graves continued his assault, his determination unwavering. He knew that he had to finish this battle before Lin Feng could recover. And to end all of it, Graves plunged his plasma blade deep into Lin Feng’s heart. Dark energy surged out from the wound, and Lin Feng’s monstrous form convulsed in agony...for a moment.

"You think you have won?" Lin Feng laughed demonically.

Graves narrowly avoided the deadly strike from Lin Feng’s arm blade by retracting his own plasma blade and leaping away just in time. The earth where he had stood a moment ago was cleaved apart as Lin Feng’s blade struck with terrifying force.

"Okay...I think I can’t kill this man alone, I’m going to need backup."
