The battlefield falls silent as Daunte emerges in SSD1, his aura no longer wild but controlled—dark crimson flames laced with shadow, flowing like a storm barely contained. Every step he takes cracks the stone beneath him, a calm power radiating that shakes even Baloney’s confidence.
Anthony, still holding onto his own first form, pleads to fight beside him. But Daunte pushes him aside gently, his voice steady: “You’re weak right now. This is mine.” Tony watches, realizing Daunte isn’t being consumed by the demon within—he has mastered it.
In a blur too fast for mortal eyes, Daunte launches Baloney skyward with a devastating uppercut, then slams him back into the temple with godlike precision. His movements are fluid, untouchable, transcending instinct itself. For the first time, Baloney bleeds.
Daunte doesn’t roar or boast—his words cut sharper than any strike: “This power isn’t for pride. It’s for protection.” He delivers a point-blank blast to Baloney’s chest, leveling part of the temple.
But as the dust settles, Baloney rises, coughing blood yet grinning wider than ever. His aura begins to surge again, darker and deadlier than before.

The temple quakes under the clash. Daunte and Baloney trade bone-crushing blows at impossible speed, each strike sending shockwaves across the battlefield. Even bleeding and battered, Daunte refuses to back down—his fists fueled by sheer defiance.

Daunte’s demon is still chained, but every surge of power weakens the seal. If he goes too far, they won’t just lose the fight… they’ll lose Daunte forever.
Baloney tries to overwhelm him with blasts, only to be cut down by Daunte’s raw determination. Each time he falls, Daunte rises faster, stronger, more unyielding. “Then I’ll punch faster,” he growls through bloodied lips, pushing Baloney onto the defensive.
But as the sky itself begins to crackle with unstable energy, Tony knows the truth: SSD1 is just the first layer. The deeper Daunte reaches, the closer he comes to a power that can’t be controlled.
