Chapter 607 Greeting
"HAHAHA!"
Krevak's laughter suddenly erupted like a jagged slash across the desolate battlefield, his voice brimming with unhinged glee.
Without warning, he lunged at Eccar as a golden-red blur of raw destructive intent.
Eccar tightened a little bit of his stance but still quite relaxed, his eyes looking at him as he felt the sheer force of Krevak's energy hurtling toward him.
He could no longer hold back too much against this opponent. The stakes had grown too high. Krevak's newfound power was dangerous enough to tip the scales of the entire war. He don't want to reveal his power too much here, though.
Eccar exhaled sharply, the breath steadying him as his body began to glow faintly.
His own Magic energy coursed through him, illuminating his skin with a deep brown hue. His aura expanded, clashing with Krevak's as the two forces collided midair.
Their battle became an explosion of speed and destruction, both combatants moving so fast that to an observer they were just a blur of destruction.
Fists and claws clashed with such force that shockwaves rippled outward, shattering boulders and flattening nearby terrain. Each attack have the power of titanic energy that able to reshaping the battlefield into a chaotic wasteland around them.
Krevak's newfound precision combined with his raw power made him more dangerous than before. His strikes carved deep gashes into the ground, his golden energy radiating with unnatural intensity.
But Eccar matched him step for step. Every strike from the Dragonborn was deliberate, calculated, and imbued with the strength of someone who understood the fragility of the resistance's hope.

Meanwhile, at the Resistance Lines
Commander Varok stood looking the chaos, his knuckles white as he gripped the hilt of his sword. His sharp gaze flickered between the titanic duel in the distance and the unfolding battle at the gates.
Despite the destruction caused by the clashing titans, Brogar's forces were managing to hold their ground againts the invader at near the gate.
"Hold the line!" Varok barked. His voice cut through the din of battle as he watched Renna's siege weapon fire another massive bolt, the projectile slamming into the enemy's reinforced gates and the impact sent shrapnel and chunks of iron raining down.
"Commander!" one of his lieutenants called out, running up to him. "The gate is down! Brogar's soldiers are pushing through!"
Varok's teeth clenched, his mind racing.
"Good. Order the mages to concentrate their spells on keeping the invaders disoriented. Everyone else, advance! We don't have time to waste. That mine needs to fall now!"
Renna, atop the siege platform, gave Varok a sharp nod as she pulled the lever to unleash another devastating bolt.
The massive weapon hissed and groaned, but it did its job. The bolt hit the invaders rank on the ground and clearing a path for the resistance to push into the mine's entrance.
"Advance! Don't let them regroup!" Varok shouted as he led the charge.
The resistance forces surged forward, their battle cries rising above the cacophony of war. Magic flared from their ranks, spells arcing toward the enemy and erupting in bursts of energy.
Brogar's forces pressed their advantage, slamming into the invaders with relentless force.
As they breached the gates, the true battle began. Inside the mine's entrance, the confined space making every clash of steel echo ominously.
Your next journey awaits at empire
The resistance soldiers fought with a desperate ferocity, knowing the clock was ticking before reinforcements would arrive.
Varok glanced over his shoulder, his thoughts briefly drifting to Eccar.
"You better win out there, Dragonborn. We won't last long if he turns his attention back to us."

Back to Eccar and Krevak battle.
The earth trembled under the sheer force of their battle. Eccar sidestepped another devastating blow, the energy from Krevak's punch blasting a crater into the ground.
"You're stronger than I gave you credit for! You actually managed to see me alive in this form!" Krevak growled, his voice steady but started to tinged with frustration. "But it will not for long."
Eccar didn't respond. Instead, he unleashed a powerful punch of his own, his brown dark energy flaring as his fist connected with Krevak's jaw. The impact sent Krevak flying backward, his body skidding across the ravaged terrain.
The Dragonborn straightened, his glowing brown aura pulsing as he rolled his shoulders.
"You're not the only one holding back," he said, his voice calm without any strain.
Krevak wiped the blood from his mouth, his golden-red aura flaring once more. The marks on his body seemed to glow brighter as his power surged.
"Good," he snarled. "Because I was getting bored just killing the natives here."
The two warriors clashed again, the shockwaves of their battle echoing across the wasteland. For a moment, it felt as though the very air between them had caught fire, the heat of their energies consuming everything around them.
Eccar's mind remained focused.
"I think I have to end this soon,"
he thought.

Inside the Mine.
The resistance forces pushed deeper into the mine, their combined Magic that they have been holding since the beginning of the invasion and brute force overwhelming the enemy defenders.
Explosions rocked the narrow tunnels as mages unleashed devastating spells, and soldiers hacked their way through the enemy ranks.
Varok led the charge, his blade flashing as he cut through a line of invaders.
"Move forward! Destroy their supplies and collapse the tunnels behind us! We can't let them use this place again!"
Renna, now inside with the other engineers, directed the placement of explosive charges along key structural points.
"We've got one shot at this!" she shouted. "Light the fuses and fall back!"
As the resistance soldiers planted the final explosives, the air inside the mine grew thick with tension.
---
The battle raged on two fronts. Eccar pushing Krevak further but then Krevak saod something that made him shiver.
"You think you can win just because you are a Dragonborn?"
Eccar' eyes widened.
"My god want to say their greeting to you."
And then he landed a punch at Eccar's face that throw him backward.
