The veil tore with a rip like thunder splitting sky, unleashing the nexus a cavern of adire-flame walls that roared with plasma fury, air searing lungs at 02:00 PM, heat waves distorting vision like water over fire.
The guardian awakened a high-tier Sango-Power, its blaze form a colossal storm of lightning-veined inferno, eyes crackling bolts that ionized the air with ozone's sharp crackle, body shifting like living thunderclouds laced with molten veins.
Tobi's domains ignited its iron encasing him in a skin of unyielding steel that hummed with resonance, courage flooding his veins like adrenaline fire, sharpening reflexes to blur-speed.
"You blaze hot, but I no dey melt!" he taunted, voice cutting through the roar, funny edge masking the sweat evaporating instantly on his brow.
The guardian struck first a plasma arc lashing like a serpent's strike, faster than speed of thunder, its heat blistering stone to glass with a sizzle that filled the cavern with acrid smoke.
Tobi dodged in a roll, iron domain absorbing the edge with a metallic ring that vibrated his bones, courage propelling him into a counter threads whipping out, hardened to spears that pierced the blaze, drawing a thunderous howl that shook stalactites loose in crashing echoes.
Yusuf's beast leaped, golden claws raking plasma, drawing sparks that exploded like fireworks, but the guardian's bolt countered, searing fur with a stench of charred leather, the beast yelping as it rolled away, aura flickering.
Nneka hacked barriers, uli code clashing with the deity's domain in digital firestorms, her gauntlets overheating with a whine, sweat stinging her eyes. "Core exposed, strike the damn core now!"
Zara, blind but visionary, clutched Tobi's arm from the edge, curse channeling echoes: "Bolt pattern zigzag left, then surge!" Her body convulsed, blood trickling, visions a torrent that weakened her knees.
The fight escalated beyond mortal bounds guardian summoning thunder domains that warped space, bolts chaining in fractal patterns that outpaced.
Tobi weaned through, threads evolving mid-clash: iron forming shields that deflected lightning with deafening clangs, courage boosting speed to afterimages, each dodge a hair's breadth from annihilation, plasma grazing his clothes in singed trails that burned like acid.
He countered with a thread-vortex, domains blending, iron+courage spears spiraling, piercing the guardian's flank in a burst of ionized blood that sizzled on the ground, the deity's roar a sonic boom cracking walls.
Pain laced every move, blisters rising, lungs burning from superheated air, but Tobi's cold resolve held, visions of Ife fueling him. "Not today!" he growled, threads closing in.
