Chapter – 10 : Unexpected Savior arrives just in time.

It felt like the very air in the Dream Land Spell was turning against them. Swasti and Tulan, once vibrant and strong, were fading, their movements growing heavy, their energy draining away with every passing second. Luder’s team, however, seemed to grow stronger with their opponents’ decline. You could almost see the confidence radiating off Luder, Mahima, and Netra as they sensed Tulan and Swasti nearing their breaking point. Without hesitation, all three charged forward, a coordinated attack designed to finish the match. Tulan and Swasti, exhausted but determined, struggled to keep up, their defensive maneuvers becoming increasingly desperate. Mercy, meanwhile, was just trying to survive, her only goal to escape the immediate danger.

The battle quickly fragmented. On one side, Swasti unleashed everything she had: powerful waves of water followed by sharp, piercing ice spikes. But her efforts were met with an impenetrable wall—Mahima. With an almost dismissive gesture, Mahima’s unique power shimmered into existence, effortlessly neutralizing every single one of Swasti’s attacks. It was a disheartening display of dominance, leaving Swasti increasingly frustrated and open.

Elsewhere, Luder kept Tulan completely preoccupied. Luder was a master of illusions, conjuring multiple, lifelike duplicates that swirled around Tulan. Tulan, already fatigued by the spell, found himself constantly charging at phantoms, his powerful attacks passing through empty air. He was perpetually off-balance, struggling to distinguish reality from illusion, his energy rapidly dwindling with each wasted effort.

Meanwhile, Netra, with a singular focus, pursued Mercy. Mercy, not a fighter by nature, darted and weaved, her heart pounding with raw fear. Luder’s team was clearly gaining the upper hand, their combined assault proving too much for Tulan’s faltering group. It was obvious they couldn’t last much longer.

As the minutes ticked by, Tulan finally buckled, collapsing to his knees, barely able to stand. Seeing her chance, Netra abandoned her chase of Mercy and lunged towards the weakened Tulan, ready to encase him in her signature sleeping sphere. The air around Tulan began to shimmer, the tell-tale sign of her power activating.

But then, an impossible thing happened. A flash of movement, and Netra’s head snapped back. A loud, sharp crack echoed through the dream land. She’d been punched. And the punch had come from Mercy.

Luder’s team instantly froze, their shock palpable. They knew Mercy had no special powers, no combat training according to their extensive data. Yet, here she was, having just delivered a blow powerful enough to send Netra staggering.

Mercy, though lacking any overt abilities, couldn’t stand by and watch her teammates fall. Seeing Tulan, once so strong, brought to his knees, something snapped inside her. She shed her fear, breaking free from her shell to help. Her punch, born of pure instinct and desperation, defied all logic.

Luder, seeing Netra reeling, quickly created an illusionary shield to protect her. Netra, recovering, tried to capture Mercy again, but this time, her sleeping sphere barely materialized. The effort drained her, a sign of their own energy reserves dwindling from the prolonged use of the Dream Land Spell. Recognizing her weakened state, Netra quickly retreated behind Luder’s illusionary cover.

Luder’s team took a moment to assess the situation. Their "dream land fusion" skill, while potent, had significantly depleted their energy after extended use. But the mystery of Mercy’s punch remained. How had an unpowered individual delivered such a strong blow?

Meanwhile, Mercy, emboldened by her own unexpected power, rejoined the fight. Luder’s team, acutely aware of their draining energy, decided to stop using their skills altogether to prevent complete exhaustion.

Now, it was a battle of raw endurance. Tulan and Swasti, unable to withstand the spell's debilitating effects any longer, went into meditation, leaving Mercy to face Luder’s team alone. Instead of relying on their powers, Luder’s team decided to use their superior numbers to overwhelm her.

A fierce, brutal brawl ensued. But with every punch Mercy landed, it seemed to grow harder, more forceful. Luder’s team found themselves facing an energy crisis of their own; the prolonged Dream Land Spell was taking its toll on them too. Yet, Mercy seemed unaffected, moving with a surprising ease. Her punches became increasingly ferocious, each one more devastating than the last.

Finally, Luder’s team reached their limit. With a sudden jolt, the Dream Land Spell shattered, the swirling clouds dissolving to reveal the arena floor. The audience and referee, finally able to see the full scene, gasped. All three members of Luder’s team lay unconscious. Standing firmly, though breathing heavily, was Mercy, while her teammates remained in meditation. The referee, after a moment of stunned silence, announced Tulan’s team as the winners.

Mercy herself was amazed by what had just happened, but she embraced the victory with unbridled joy. Medics were called to assist the participants, and soon, everyone began to leave the stage.

As soon as Mercy stepped out of the arena, she rushed to Guru, eager to explain the bizarre events that had unfolded within the Dream Land Spell.

Guru, who possessed a unique skill allowing him to witness everything within the dream land, listened patiently. He explained that the Dream Land Spell indeed drained the power of opponents over time, making it effective against those with abilities. However, it had a crucial weakness: it worked in reverse on those who possessed no powers. If a normal person spent enough time within the spell, their physical abilities would be greatly enhanced, and they would even gain access to various skills, albeit only for the duration of their time in the Dream Land.

Understanding dawned on Mercy. The source of her newfound strength was finally clear. With the mystery solved, she headed back to her roommates, undoubtedly ready to recount every thrilling detail of their improbable win.

After such a display of persistence and unexpected twists, it’s time for a breather. Let’s take a small break and meet again for the next chapter. Until then, stay tuned…

What do you think will happen next, now that Mercy knows the secret of her power?

After seeing lot of persistence and sudden twists its time to take a break to continue, Let us take a small break and meet again with next Chapter until then Stay tuned………………….
