Jason activated hidden arrays that infused him with massive mana from the earth, elevating his power to S-rank levels through intertwined elements of fire, thunder, earth, and wind. He unleashed devastating attacks like Elemental Flash Impact, Volcanic Heavenfall, Tempest Prison, Thunder Execution Spear, and Elemental Resonance Collapse, pushing Daniel back, injuring his shoulder, and creating an even standoff amid explosive clashes. However, the arrays began destabilizing from overuse, straining mana distribution centers and causing instability, as Daniel smirked mockingly while Jason grew worried.

The heavens were crumbling.

Amid the clouds, fissures of light appeared, the earth quaked beneath the unyielding force of the elements, and the formations that had supported Jason's strength mere moments earlier now resembled brittle shards of glass, ready to break apart.

Yet Jason no longer minded. Darkness filled his eyes.

"I have to end this here." A single resolve dominated his thoughts.

Having grasped that the formations held finite power and might crumble at any instant, losing their might, he knew he must not let the fight prolong further.

Not only the formations posed the issue. The mana hubs established throughout the capital were equally vital in this conflict.

Should those hubs suffer damage or fail amid the crushing strain, the fallout would surpass anyone's worst nightmares.

And most crucially... his brother would surely end him. Even at present, such a fate remained possible. These formations were intended for slaying Varnus, not Daniel.

He let out a slow breath.

Suddenly, the mana encircling him... detonated.

[Elemental Catastrophe Field]

Space twisted within hundreds of meters around him. The four elements expanded outward as an invincible domain, where each stride, motion, or inhalation... bowed to his command.

Flames hovered in the atmosphere, winds sharpened into unseen razors, soil sprouted below and even above in the heavens, and bolts of lightning twisted like radiant snakes encircling all.

This transcended a mere technique.

It formed a true domain.

Daniel remained motionless. His stare stayed icy, yet his concentration... intensified.

With time favoring him now, he saw no need to unleash his full might for victory. Enduring until the formations failed would suffice.

Indeed, he could seize this chance for another purpose.

Jason dropped his hand.

[Heaven Splitter Tempest]

The heavens tore open.

A colossal tempest born from merging all four elements arose, a gigantic column linking earth to sky, obliterating all it touched.

Daniel advanced directly into the maelstrom. He lifted his blade, its energy surging brightly.

And slashed.

Slash!

Briefly, the tempest parted.

However, this instance... it swiftly reformed. The force grew denser and fiercer than prior.

"You thought you could still pass through like before?" Jason grinned.

Next, he lifted his free hand.

[Abyssal Element Rain]

Darkness engulfed the sky.

Myriads of spears forged from dense elemental force plummeted like lethal precipitation upon Daniel.

Blasts followed in rapid succession. The terrain lay in ruins, detonations raged without cease.

Amid that inferno, Daniel pressed onward.

Moving slower, yet unrelentingly forward.

In that instant, a shift occurred.

A subtle sensation, yet undeniable. His form responded instinctively.

"...Poison..." His gaze sharpened faintly.

He had sensed it earlier, in combat, amid duress. The fiercer the struggle, the more his physique seemed to combat the toxin.

Admittedly, not enough to purge it entirely. Such a feat lay beyond reach. The venom proved far too potent.

Yet diminishing its hold... proved sufficient.

Abruptly, a notion struck him. More hunch than certainty, and perilous, but viable to attempt.

Daniel drew in a profound breath.

The energy circulation within him altered.

He started consuming his vitality. Tension flooded his frame, veins swelling prominently.

He had experimented previously, expending life force to dilute the poison. It had eased matters briefly, only for the toxin to rebound fiercer later.

And presently, aware that mere vitality fell short, he drew upon a deeper essence.

His bloodline.

Beads of his blood... blazed inside him.

The Fallen heritage, the latent force coursing through him, stirred to life.

Scorching warmth raced along his vessels, forcing the poison to withdraw.

Not utterly.

Yet his frame lightened noticeably. His strength coursed smoother.

Nevertheless, full recovery eluded him. He remained distant from it.

His eyes gleamed momentarily.

Jason noticed.

"...What are you doing?!"

But too late it was.

Daniel lunged ahead. The earth underfoot exploded, and in a flash, he materialized before Jason.

Strike.

Jason scarcely blocked, though this assault's weight differed.

Forced backward he was.

Despite empowering the formations, never before had he endured such a blow.

"Damn it—!"

He lacked naivety. He discerned that inexplicably, this foe's might had surged.

The method mattered little, nor did he possess leisure to unravel it.

Kill him he must, without delay.

Swiftly, he hoisted his hand.

[World Ender Element Core]

All nearby elements converged toward one focal point.

A core, compressed and unstable. Its vibrations warped the space around it.

But Jason didn’t stop.

He activated every array, drawing all available mana straight into that core. The arrays glowed with ever-increasing brilliance.

Soon, cracks started forming on them.

Yet he paid no heed.

"It doesn’t matter..."

This cost was one he gladly accepted.

Daniel posed a severe danger in this clash. Taking him out would deliver a crushing defeat to the Everlight Moon guild.

Madness gleamed in Jason’s eyes.

"As long as... you die."

All his remaining strength surged into the core.

[Absolute Elemental Annihilation]

The core imploded—and then—

Explosion.

No ordinary blast. Space itself fractured, light devoured everything.

The earth lay in ruins, the heavens tore open, and at the heart of that devastation...

Daniel stood firm.

In that instant, pure whiteness engulfed all. No sound, no motion.

Nothing but finality.

Moments later, the brilliance dimmed as dust slowly settled.

The ground had vanished entirely.

A colossal crater now scarred the battlefield.

Jason floated mid-air, heaving for breath.

The arrays deactivated sequentially before shattering apart.

That strike had drained every drop of his power.

Still, he grinned.

"...It’s over."

His eyes dropped to the explosion’s core—zero activity.

No trace of life.

"Dead..." He breathed out.

"Finally..."
