Fire explosions erupted across the clearing, the intense heat and light turning the battlefield into chaos. Sparks flew and smoke billowed, filling the air with the acrid scent of burning debris.
Through the inferno, a lone figure was suddenly launched into the sky. It was none other than Erend. His body hurtled upward, spinning through the air, as he had taken a devastating blow from the black gorilla.
His wings flared open as he tried to stabilize himself, but the black gorilla wasn't done.
With an earth-shaking leap the gorilla followed him, jumping impossibly high. It caught up to Erend in midair and before Erend could regain his footing, the gorilla swung a massive fist at him again, striking him in the chest with terrible force.
The blow sent Erend flying even higher, the impact forcing a grunt from his lips. The black gorilla grinned in triumph.
On the ground, Eccar wasn't faring much better. He had been pinned down, the white gorilla's enormous hand pressing into his chest and holding him against the dirt.
Eccar snarled, his wings twitching as he struggled against the creature's weight but the gorilla's strength was overwhelming for him now.
For a moment, frustration flashed through his mind. These creatures were far stronger than they had initially seemed. He grit his teeth, feeling the pressure on his chest increasing.
"Enough of this!" Eccar growled under his breath, his eyes glowing with a dangerous light.
He slammed his clawed hands into the earth beneath him, channeling his power. The ground began to tremble beneath the white gorilla's feet and with a sudden burst of force a massive earth spear shot up from the ground.
The sharp, stone tip pierced the gorilla's side and sending it hurtling backward, its grip on Eccar broken.
Erend and Eccar continued their relentless attacking. Now, they decided to unleash their full power after holding back and be annoyed by the two gorillas.
Their scaled fists and blazing attacks tearing into the massive gorillas. The clearing had become a battlefield littered with the debris of their battle. Scorched earth, cracked stone, and the scent of burnt fur and blood filling the air.
The black gorilla was now a shadow of its former self. Its once mighty form was covered in gashes, its fur singed and matted with blood. Every breath it took was labored and its once-crimson eyes were now dull, filled with a growing sense of desperation.
Erend hovered in the air above his opponent. His wings beat steadily, holding him aloft as he stared down at the weakened creature. Without a word, Erend summoned fire once more. His hands glowing with incredible heat. He raised both hands high and then hurled a massive fireball toward the black gorilla's chest.
The explosion was deafening. Fire erupted across the gorilla's body and his final roar was cut short as him collapsed. His massive form falling to the ground with a thunderous crash. Smoke billowed from the charred remains and the black gorilla lay still because his life finally gone.
On the other side of the clearing, Eccar was still locked in a brutal struggle with the white gorilla. The creature now moved sluggishly. His body covered in bruises and deep cuts from Eccar's unrelenting attacks. His breath ragged and blood dripped steadily from his mouth.
Eccar's wings spread wide as he circled the white gorilla while clenching his fists tightly. Eccar swooped in again. He drove his fist into the white gorilla's side with a sickening crunch, sending it stumbling backward. The white gorilla swayed on its feet, barely able to stay upright.
Eccar didn't stop. He surged forward once more, delivering a very devastating punch to the gorilla's face. The force of the blow sent the creature crashing to the ground deeper. His body twitching for a brief moment before it lay still.
Eccar stood over the fallen white gorilla with eyes still burning with intensity. Blood dripped from his knuckles. the battle was over. Eccar let out a long breath and smiled. That was intense.
The two massive gorillas now lay dead in the clearing. Erend landed beside Eccar, both of them standing in silence for a moment as they took in the aftermath of the battle.
