The night was heavy, the wind howling through the ruins like the whispers of ancient battlefield spirits. The air was thick with the scent of blood, and the shadow of death loomed over every inch of space.
Aaron stood atop the crumbling wreckage, legs slightly bent, every muscle tensed to the limit. His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, locked onto the ghost-like figure before him—Nether.
His opponent slowly drew a dagger, its blade catching the pale moonlight, gleaming like a soul-devouring specter, impossibly sharp.
"Your struggle is meaningless," Nether murmured, his voice calm as if declaring an inevitable death.
Aaron didn’t respond. His breathing steadied, but inside, his mind raged like a storm.
He knew—there was no retreat.
He had to fight.
He had to win.
? Lightning Strikes—A Duel of Life and Death! ?
The next second, Nether vanished—
"Gone?!"
No—he wasn’t gone. He was just too fast!
Aaron’s pupils shrank. Instinct took over, forcing him to sidestep—
"Whoosh!"
A chilling blade sliced past his cheek, severing a strand of his hair.
Just one inch closer, and his throat would’ve been cut open.
No time to breathe—Aaron whipped his short sword from his belt and slashed sideways—
But— nothing.
Nether was gone again!

"Behind me!"
His survival instincts screamed, and Aaron dove forward—
"Shhk!"
Blood splattered.
A dagger had pierced his left shoulder, searing pain igniting through his body like wildfire. His clothes were instantly drenched in red.
Nether’s face remained emotionless. He twisted the blade, aiming to slice Aaron’s throat—
"I can’t take this head-on!"
Fighting against the agony, Aaron rolled backward, snapping his leg up in a desperate kick—
"BAM!"
He struck Nether’s wrist!
The dagger flew from his grasp, clattering against the rubble.
An opening!
With a roar, Aaron pushed off the ground, flipping upright, his leg swinging in a fierce arc aimed at Nether’s skull—
Nether sneered.
He blocked it with one hand.
But—he stepped back.
For the first time in this fight, he retreated.
Aaron didn’t hesitate—his fists rained down like a storm!
"BAM! BAM! BAM!"
The wind howled with each punch, the force of his blows shaking the very air.
The battle of life and death—
Victory or defeat, decided in a blink!
?? The Blockchain War—A Battle of Smart Contracts! ??
The duel burned red-hot, but Aaron’s terminal flared with a new warning—
[ALERT: "Execution of Kill Protocol V3.0" in progress…]
[Target: Aaron]
[Status: Pending Activation]
Another smart contract attack?!
Aaron’s mind raced.
If this protocol deployed, the entire blockchain network would pinpoint his location—
And every bounty hunter in the world would come for his head!
"Damn it!"
Nether wasn’t just a killer—
He was a master of blockchain warfare!
But—Aaron had prepared for this.
"You’re not the only hacker here!"
His fingers danced over his terminal, activating a countermeasure program—
[Executing Contract: "Mirror Confusion Protocol"]
[Target: Kill Protocol V3.0]
[Status: Obfuscating…]
"BEEP—!"
The moment Nether’s protocol activated, Aaron’s counterattack scrambled the data—
His location split into thousands of false signals.
All over the network, bounty hunters received a chaotic flood of fake coordinates.
They wouldn’t be able to track him.
Nether’s face finally shifted.
"You… disrupted my contract mid-battle?"
Aaron wiped the blood from his mouth and grinned.
"Blockchain isn’t your playground alone."
Silence.
Then—Nether chuckled.
"Fine. Then let’s see if you can win in pure combat."
His aura exploded.
The temperature of the ruins plummeted.
The true fight—
Had only just begun.
