Elevora didn't waste a second. She raised her hand, her third eye glowing intensely as she unleashed a beam of concentrated energy straight toward their pursuer.

The man barely managed to twist out of the way. The edge of the beam grazed his shoulder and leaving a trail of smoldering, burnt flesh.

"You…" he growled while clutching his shoulder, his eyes blazing with fury. "Unfortunately, that isn't enough to stop me

 You're nothing but insects compared to me!"

"Then we'll just have to prove you wrong," Elevora shot back, her voice steady and unwavering.

They clashed once again, a flurry of attacks exchanged in the endless void of space. The Gustavo Alliance member struck out with a savage intensity, his fists creating shockwaves that rippled through the stars. But E.E and Elevora moved in perfect harmony, evading his attacks, countering with precision and speed.

E.E opened portals to redirect the man's attacks, turning his own strength against him, while Elevora unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, her power growing with each strike. They wore him down slowly, chipping away at his defenses, frustrating him with every missed blow.

"**Enough!**" the man roared, summoning a massive surge of energy as he prepared to unleash a devastating attack.

But E.E saw it coming, his eyes narrowing as he whispered to Elevora, "**Now.**"

Together, they moved in sync, closing in on him from both sides. As the man released his attack, E.E opened a portal, redirecting the blast back at him, while Elevora struck from the opposite side with a focused beam that

 pierced through his defenses.

Caught in his own attack and Elevora's energy, the man let out a howl of agony, his form disintegrating under the combined assault.

As his body faded into nothingness, E.E and Elevora floated there in silence, the empty stretch of space around them a stark reminder of the battle they had just survived. They turned to each other, exhaustion etched on their faces, but there was also a deep sense of satisfaction in their eyes.

"**We did it,**" Elevora murmured, her voice soft, a hint of disbelief in her tone.

E.E gave her a small, triumphant smile. "**Together, we're unstoppable.**"

They drifted closer, sharing a moment of silent victory, the vastness of space stretching out before them as they prepared to return home, knowing they had faced the darkness—and won.

Empress Dahria, with her authoritative bearing, still managed to engage in light-hearted banter, showing a more relaxed side of herself that was rarely seen.

Nearby, E.E., Falco, Aildris, Endric, and Ria were having the time of their lives at the shore.

E.E.'s melanin skin glistened in the sunlight, his wet, bushy afro hair bouncing as he moved. His infectious laughter filled the air as he cracked jokes and splashed water at his friends.

"E.E., you look like a sea monster with that hair!" Falco teased while ducking to avoid another splash.

"Oh yeah?" E.E. retorted with a grin. "At least I don't look like a rat that got drowned in milk, Falco!"

Aildris had built an impressive sandcastle, much to the admiration of the others. "Check this out," he said proudly, gesturing to his creation. "A castle fit for a king."

Aildris rarely ever showed this childish side of him so it as quite heartwarming to see him playing around like this.

Endric dashed around with youthful energy whole making small crabs float from the middle of the ocean. "Got one!" he exclaimed while holding up a tiny crab for everyone to see before gently releasing it back into the water.

Rialaughed at Endric's antics and joined in the fun.

Meanwhile, Gustav sat a little distance away, looking effortlessly handsome in his summer outfit.

His presence commanded attention, and many of the ladies on the beach couldn't help but steal glances at him. However, Gustav paid them no mind. His focus was elsewhere, his eyes fixated on the holographic system notification panel that only he could see.

The panel displayed two messages that had been occupying his thoughts for days:

\[ Five Year Quest Completed (1/2): Become The World's Strongest Mixedblood ✓ \]

\[ Issuing Rewards... \]

Gustav furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of the messages. He had completed one of the quests, but the reward had yet to manifest. What was taking so long?

As he pondered this, Angy approached him, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "Hey, Gus," she said, sitting beside him and nudging him playfully. "You're missing out on all the fun."

Gustav smiled, his eyes softening as he looked at her. "I know, Angy. Just got carried a way for a bit."

Angy tilted her head as her gaze flickered with concern. "You know we came here to relax, right?"

Gustav sighed while running a hand through his hair. "Yeah you're right. I should probably put everything away in the meantime."

Angy placed a reassuring hand on his arm. "Come on, a lot has happened. Why don't we enjoy the vacation? You've earned it."

Gustav nodded, appreciating her words. "Thanks, Angy."

She smiled, her eyes filled with warmth. "Now come on, let's join the others."

As they walked toward the shore, the rest of the group noticed them and cheered. "Finally decided to join us, huh?" Falco called out, grinning.

Gustav chuckled. "Couldn't let you have all the fun."

E.E. splashed water at him playfully. "Watch out, ladies and gentlemen, the world's strongest Mixedblood is here!"

Gustav laughed, shaking the water from his hair. "Yeah, yeah. Let's just enjoy the day."

They spent the next few hours swimming, playing beach volleyball, and lounging in the sun.

Playing games like this had to be done with caution because if they weren't careful, they could make it inconvenient for everyone else around them.

For instance if Gustav hit a volleyball with as little as a tiny fraction of his strength, it could burrow straight through a person.

Fortunately, they managed to have fun.

Gustav found himself relaxing and temporarily forgetting about recent events. The sound of his friends' laughter, the warmth of the sun, and the coolness of the water all combined to create a perfect day.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the group gathered around a bonfire they had built on the beach. The flames crackled and danced, casting a warm glow over their faces.

Empress Dahria, always dignified, even in a swimsuit, raised a toast. "To friendship, to courage, and to the future," she said, her voice resonant with pride.

"To the future!" everyone echoed, raising their glasses.

As they sat around the fire, sharing stories and reminiscing, Gustav felt a sense of peace he hadn't experienced in a long time. The quest notification still lingered in the back of his mind, but for now, he was content to be surrounded by those he cared about.

--

Later around midnight, the luxurious resort was quiet. The sounds of the ocean waves was a gentle background melody. The group had enjoyed their time on the beach, and now they retired to their rooms, each one designed to provide the utmost relaxation.

Gustav's room was no exception. It was a spacious suite with high ceilings, adorned with elegant furnishings.

Daped in fine linens, the king sized bed sat against a wall adorned with tasteful artwork.

Soft florescent lighting created a serene atmosphere, while a large window offered a breathtaking view of the moonlit ocean.

A small seating area with plush chairs and a coffee table invited relaxation, and the bathroom, visible through an open door, boasted a deep soaking tub and a rainfall shower.

Gustav sat in one of the chairs, his eyes fixated on the holographic system notification that hovered in front of him:

\[ Five Year Quest Completed (1/2): Become The World's Strongest Mixedblood ✓ \]

\[ Issuing Rewards... \]

He had been staring at it for days, the mystery of the delayed reward gnawing at him.

 His thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock at the door. He before getting up and crossing the room. As expected, he opened the door to find Angy standing there.

"Hey," she greeted softly, stepping inside when he motioned for her to enter.

"Hey, Angy," Gustav replied, closing the door behind her. "What's up?"

"I couldn't sleep," she admitted, her eyes searching his. "I wanted to talk to you."

Gustav nodded, leading her to the seating area. They sat down, the soft cushions sinking under their weight. "What's on your mind?"

Angy took a deep breath. "I've been thinking about what happened during the trial. How did you manage to dominate the darkness and regain consciousness? You're really Gustav, right?"

Gustav's expression grew serious. "It's not something I managed to do easily," he began. "I've been fighting that darkness since the day I saved you. That was the reason I choose to be unconscious in the first place. It provided me a better chance."

Angy listened intently, her eyes never leaving his. "But you managed to control it. How?"

 "I didn't really dominate it. I just isolated it using the three-in-one golden body. It allowed me to compartmentalize the darkness, keep it confined to one area."

He lifted his shirt, revealing the left side of his abdomen where a dark, swirling pattern was etched into his skin. The sight of it was both mesmerizing and unsettling.

"This is where I've isolated the darkness," he explained. "It could increase my strength to unprecedented heights, but it would also make me lose my mind. That's why I've decided to keep it isolated forever."

Angy's eyes widened in surprise and curiosity. She reached out, her fingers lightly tracing the dark pattern. "It's... incredible," she whispered as her touch sending a jolt of electricity through Gustav's body.

"I mean... You're incredible..." She added.

Gustav shivered at her touch, feeling the electricity of her fingers on his bare skin. He gently grabbed her hand to stop it from continuously tracing the pattern as their eyes locked in an intense gaze.

"Angy," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.

Their faces drew closer, the air between them charged with an electric, romantic tension. The world seemed to shrink until it was just the two of them.

Their breaths mingled briefly as their lips met in a passionate kiss.

The kiss soon deepened and their hands began to explore each other. Gustav's fingers trailed down her back, feeling the smooth fabric of her dress, while Angy's hands moved to his chest, tugging at his shirt. They pulled back for a moment, their eyes filled with desire and need.

"Gustav," Angy breathed, her voice husky with emotion.

"Angy," he replied, his voice equally filled with longing.

They moved with a sense of urgency, their clothes discarded piece by piece. Gustav's shirt fell to the floor, followed by Angy's dress. They stood there for a moment, taking in each other's forms, their hearts racing.

The room seemed to glow with a soft, golden light as they came together again, their bodies pressing close. Gustav lifted Angy, carrying her to the bed where they continued to kiss, their passion intensifying with each passing second.

As they lay down, the softness of the bed enveloping them, Gustav and Angy let their desires take over. Their movements were a dance of love and need, their touches gentle and urgent all at once. They whispered each other's names, their voices filled with emotion, as they became lost in the moment.

Gustav left a trail of kisses down Angy's soft skin causing her to shiver each time in excitement. She could feel something hard and thick poking her belly region... She instinctively reached out to grab it.
