The entity attacked again.
But this time—
Rahim countered instantly.
Not reacting.
Predicting.
Every movement.
Every shift.
"…You're reading me."
Rahim didn't answer.
Because he wasn't just reading.
He was understanding.
The structure.
The flow.
The intent.
Everything.
Another strike—
Blocked.
Another—
Dodged.
Then—
Rahim attacked.
A single hit.
The entity—
Moved back.
A full step.
Silence.
That had never happened before.
"…You…"
The entity whispered.
Rahim's voice was calm.
"…You're not untouchable."
For the first time—
Something appeared.
Not in the void.
Not in Rahim.
But in the entity itself.
A crack.
Not physical.
Conceptual.
"…You're afraid."
Silence.
Then—
The void shook violently.
"…I don't feel fear."
But the response—
Was slower.
Less certain.
Rahim stepped closer.
"…Then what was that?"
The entity didn't answer.
Instead—
It changed.
Its form—
Expanded.
More of it emerged.
More pressure.
More presence.
The void screamed.
"…You want to see what I really am?"
Rahim smiled.
"…I've been waiting."
And then—
The true battle began.
