As Ken stepped into the Lands of Earth, a powerful presence stopped him in his tracks. The Earth Dragon—ancient, massive, and radiating overwhelming strength—stood before him like a living mountain. Just sensing his aura sent shivers down Ken's spine. This dragon was far more powerful than any he had faced before.
The Earth Dragon's voice rumbled like thunder, "Prove you are worthy."
Ken nodded, tightening his grip on the elemental ring. "I will. Even if you're covered in darkness and grief, I will bring you back to the light. I will help you... and together we will defeat the Dark Dragon."
The ground trembled. The Legendary Battle of Earth had begun.
In a flash, the Earth Dragon unleashed his full power. His terrifying aura shook the land itself as he roared and cast "Earthic Mess," a brutal technique that summoned a massive stone pillar to crush his opponent. Ken barely dodged it, breathing heavily, his eyes wide.
"He's so strong… even stronger than I imagined," Ken thought. "If I want to win, I must strengthen my will—not just my body."
A sudden memory surfaced—a conversation with Professor Rex.
> "To truly defeat each dragon," Rex had said, "you must conquer their element and awaken their hearts. Only by doing so can you summon the Divine Dragon. Lexus, the Guardian of the Sword, once told them: 'You have protected this land for centuries. But now, your grief and darkness blind you. Only the one who defeats and heals you with the power of all elements will be worthy of the Sword of the Universe.'"
Ken clenched his fists. "This isn't just for me. This is for the dragons, for the land, and for the entire mortal world."
The Earth Dragon roared again and slammed the ground with "Magnitude 10," an earth-shattering quake that cracked the battlefield. Ken was thrown back but somehow stood up, bruised but determined.
"Now it's my turn!" Ken shouted.
He retaliated with a series of elemental attacks:
"Earth Clap" – a concussive shockwave.
"Landslide" – a barrage of tumbling rocks.
"Rolling Shot" – a piercing, high-speed earth bullet.
The Earth Dragon grew enraged, summoning a horde of Earth Golems, but Ken crushed them one by one with his move "Sharp Rock."
Suddenly, the Earth Dragon unleashed two of his most powerful techniques:
"Volcanic Eruption" – spewing molten fury across the field.
"Earthic Breath" – a colossal beam of concentrated energy infused with primal earth energy.
Ken was hit. He collapsed, injured and battered.
But he whispered to himself, "My will... is stronger than your power."
With renewed strength, Ken rose, channeled all of his earth energy, and delivered a mighty "Earthic Punch", shaking the dragon to its core. Then, with everything he had, he unleashed his ultimate earth move:
> "Continental Drift!"
A legendary technique powerful enough to shift entire landmasses.
The battlefield quaked. The Earth Dragon was trapped within the moving tectonic plates, and with one final, will-empowered blow, Ken defeated him—breaking through his darkness and sealing his corrupted energy in the sacred grounds.
The earth quieted. The battle was over.
Ken looked toward the horizon, where the winds whispered from afar.
"Now… the Lands of Wind await. And then, Lexus. I'll save you all. That's my promise."
