  Before Strike Man's body could even hit the ground, a new presence materialised instantly. Crystal Man appeared, his form shimmering with a crystalline glow. The sudden appearance of this new opponent marked the beginning of another intense chapter in Bang’s journey.

  Bang’s eyes widened in shock as he took in the sudden appearance of Crystal Man. “How—” he started, but his words faltered, his mind racing to understand the unexpected turn of events.

  Crystal Man's eyes gleamed with a mixture of amusement and arrogance. “Oh my, oh my,” he said, his tone dripping with mockery.

  Without warning, Crystal Man unched a vicious kick. The impact was devastating, causing the entire buildings around them to shatter into pieces. The force of the attack sent debris flying, and the once-compact area was left in ruins.

The attacks were swift and brutal. Bang managed to block some of the strikes, but not all, and a trickle of blood escaped from the wounds.

  Without giving Bang a moment’s respite, Crystal Man moved with blinding speed. He dashed forward, pushing Bang upward into the air with a powerful thrust. Bang ascended 50 feet, momentarily suspended and vulnerable.

  “You’re very fast for a human,” Crystal Man acknowledged, his tone begrudgingly admiring.

  Bang’s frustration was palpable. “Enough of this,” he snapped, his patience wearing thin.

  Crystal Man’s eyes narrowed as he prepared his next move. “Crystal Fish Death!” he decred, summoning a massive creature. A gigantic fish, more than 60 feet long, materialised in a shimmering dispy of crystal.
