The sword in Axel\'s hand felt heavier than usual. *Stay focused, keep your head in the fight,* he reminded himself. Metal Jaw was fast—far too fast for someone of his size. The huffing beast blurred as he vanished from sight, reappearing a mere meter away. Axel barely had time to react as the crimson energy-infused blade of his enemy descended toward him with deadly precision.

*So fast!* Axel raised his own sword, gripping the hilt with both hands as Metal Jaw\'s blade clashed against his. The impact rattled his bones, the force nearly ripping his weapon from his grip. Sparks flew from the point of contact, falling like burning embers, searing the air between them. Axel growled in frustration. *I can barely hold him off!*

Before he could adjust, Metal Jaw disappeared again. *Where is he?* Axel\'s heart pounded in his chest. Every nerve was on edge, every muscle tense. He strained his ears, trying to catch the faintest sound, the smallest clue.

*Left? Right?* His instincts screamed at him, and just in time, he spun around, raising his sword to block. Metal Jaw had appeared behind him, swinging with enough force to cleave him in two. Axel caught the blow, but the force sent him flying. He tumbled across the platform, his body bouncing off the hard stone before he finally skidded to a halt.

"Aargh!" Axel groaned, pain radiating through his limbs. His hands throbbed from the impact, trembling under the strain of the blows they had just blocked. *He\'s strong. Too strong.*

He forced himself to his feet, his vision blurred momentarily from the pain. Metal Jaw stood still, watching him with a monstrous grin. His eyes gleamed with amusement, as if Axel\'s resistance was nothing but a fleeting distraction.

*He thinks I\'m weak...*

Axel\'s breathing steadied as he locked eyes with his opponent. His mind raced through potential strategies, his brain running multiple scenarios on how to turn the tide of battle. *He\'s not invincible... there\'s a way to beat him. I just have to find it.*

Metal Jaw\'s laughter rumbled through the arena, a deep, mocking sound. "You are weak!" he bellowed. "Are you even a real candidate? You don\'t deserve the power you\'ve been given. I\'ll do you a favor—by carving it from your skull!"

The hulking brute let out a disturbing gurgling sound, a twisted form of amusement.

*He\'s underestimating me...* Axel\'s lips twitched into a smile, despite the pain coursing through his body. *I can use that.*

Straightening his posture, Axel glared at his opponent, his voice cold and steady. "I want you to answer a few questions for me before I decide how I\'ll end your miserable life."

Metal Jaw chuckled again, clearly amused by Axel\'s bravado. "Questions? Fine. I\'ll humor you. Ask away. It\'ll be fun to see you squirm before I crush you."

Axel raised a finger, keeping his voice measured. "Where are you from?"

The question seemed to catch Metal Jaw off guard for a moment, but he answered quickly. "Somewhere far beyond your world. A place you wouldn\'t understand."

"Another world?" Axel pressed. "Are you from a race like the Fatek, or something else?"

Metal Jaw let out a long growl, the sound reverberating off the stone walls. "Let\'s just say... it\'s an alternate world to your own. But I\'m done answering that. Two more questions."

Axel absorbed the information carefully, his mind calculating. *So, he\'s not from here. An alternate world, maybe something even the system didn\'t anticipate.*

"Alright," Axel continued, "how did you find me? As a challenger, I mean. Was it the system that brought you here, or did you select a statue of one of the Primordial Gods like I did?"

Metal Jaw growled in frustration, his impatience growing. "I don\'t know what nonsense you\'re spouting about gods. I was given a test by a strange Grim Reaper—a path to ultimate power. Since then, I\'ve fought my way through caves, monsters, and enemies until I reached you... a pathetic excuse for a boss, really."

Axel nodded slowly, piecing the details together. *So he\'s been through a similar test. But his wasn\'t tied to a Primordial God. This is valuable information.*

"Alright, last question," Axel said, his eyes narrowing as his voice dropped to a dangerous tone. "In what way would you like to die?"

The question hung in the air, and for a split second, Axel saw something flicker in Metal Jaw\'s eyes—surprise, maybe even fear. But it was gone in an instant, replaced by a snarl.

"I\'d prefer a painful death!" Metal Jaw sneered. "I thrive on pain."

Axel smiled darkly. "Good. I\'ll make sure to deliver exactly what you want."

With that, Axel\'s hand shot into his pocket, pulling out two small pills. He crushed them between his teeth without hesitation. A surge of energy burst through his body, every cell vibrating with newfound power.

[Evolution Pill]

<Increases all stats drastically by ten percent or more for a few minutes. Serious backlash afterward.>

*The price for victory... worth it.*

Light purple and red energy began to swirl around him, crackling and oozing from his skin like a storm about to break. His body surged with power, his muscles expanding, and his senses sharpening to an unimaginable degree. Every sound, every shift in the air became crystal clear. He could feel the blood pumping through his veins, and he embraced it—the raw, violent energy flowing through him.

"Now! I shall fulfill your wish and usher you to your demise."
