The space between Kyle and the wolf distorted.
While Warp Space's Complex Law also wasn't finished, she could still use parts of it.
At this moment, her new Complex Law was almost as strong as her previous one.
The reason she used her new Complex Law over her stronger Complex Law was due to how it affected the environment.
Her original Complex Law allowed her to manipulate time, space, and gravity separately.
The Complex Law she was currently creating combined all three effects uncontrollably.
This increased its power, but it lost flexibility.
A void of distorted space appeared between Kyle and the wolf.
The closer one was to the void, the stronger the gravity became, the more space compressed, and the faster time ran.
The wolf and Kyle were both pulled towards the void space.
This slowed the wolf down since it wanted to get away from Kyle, and it made Kyle move faster.
Kyle quickly entered the distorted space, and he felt his entire body compress under the powerful forces of gravity.
As soon as he entered the void, Warp Space dispelled her Law.
BOOOM!
Kyle was catapulted into regular space.
Due to the increased effects of gravity and time, Kyle's new speed was substantially faster.
He reached the wolf in almost an instant.
The wolf realized that it couldn't run anymore and turned towards Kyle.
A storm of lightning came out of the wolf's mouth.
Kyle just flew through it.
Several parts of his body exploded as the lightning destroyed his skin and some of his bones.
However, his organs, blood, and flesh were almost unaffected.
After all, he had improved these parts with his Complex Law.
Kyle's body recovered in an instant as he reached the wolf's head.
The wolf chomped at Kyle, who was forced to react.
His hammer swung.
CRK!
Kyle destroyed one of the wolf's teeth, while his hammer received a couple of cracks.
His entire body vibrated, and he managed to get rid of the counterforce.
Kyle was between the wolf's teeth, but the gap he had made in the teeth made it so that he wasn't hit by any of them.
The wolf became panicked, while Kyle swung his hammer again.
CRACK!
Kyle's hammer rammed into the wolf's gums, and he flooded the wolf's body with Meteor Energy.
The wolf dumped a ton of Lightning Energy into his wound, countering the Meteor Energy.
BOOOOM!
An explosion of lightning destroyed part of its snout and pushed Kyle away. This move had saved its life but had also cost it almost 50% of its Energy reserves.
At that moment, the wolf realized that fighting conservatively would only lead to its death.
If it allowed Kyle to strike it again, it would die.
In a desperate maneuver, the wolf dumped 80% of its remaining 50% of Lightning Energy into its body.
Its body was swelling and burning in several different places.
Its nerves overloaded, and blood leaked out of its straining muscles.
It was pushing its body beyond its limits.
Just for one strike!
For one strike to end it all!
BOOOM!
The wolf reached Kyle in an instant, its entire body filled with violent lightning.
Reality distorted as Warp Space used the majority of her Energy to help Kyle.
CRACK!
Yet, her face turned white as her Law broke apart.
The force the wolf exuded was so high that distorting the reality around it had sucked up all her Energy, returning reality to normal again.
Luckily, this maneuver had still bought a tiny bit of time for Kyle.
It was just enough for him to ready another strike.
At this moment, Kyle felt like a mortal standing in front of a speeding car.
Yes, with his humongous hammer and his immense strength, he could probably destroy the car's engine and make it undrivable.
However, the backlash and the car's force would still kill him.
He was too slow to avoid the attack.
It was do or die!
Kyle's own muscles bulged, and he struck forward with all his power.
CRACK!
Kyle's hammer hit one of the teeth, breaking it into pieces.
Yet, his hammer also broke into pieces.
His entire body shook, and several parts of it exploded.
The wolf chomped down.
CRK! CRK!
The teeth all around Kyle exploded as the wolf's maw continued closing.
It was biting down so hard that its own teeth couldn't take it.
Gums filled with the broken splinters of teeth closed in on Kyle's body.
Kyle lifted his arms and extended his legs.
His mind was going wild as he saw his death approaching.
The wolf's body was more powerful than his, and with this desperate attack, its power had increased even more.
If nothing happened, he would die.
In this moment, Kyle's mind extended to the remaining parts of his Fused Essence.
If he shoved all of it into his body, there was a very high chance that it would kill him.
He didn't know enough to finish creating his Complex Law.
It would be up to luck.
Kyle grabbed the entire Essence.
But as soon as he did, a terrifying feeling of horror and danger assaulted him.
He couldn't!
It would be suicide!
Kyle gritted his teeth as he tore 60% of the remaining Essence out of it before ramming it into his body.
His muscles and his skin changed subtly.
The splinter-filled maw reached Kyle.
BANG!
The splinters burrowed into Kyle's arms and legs as his bones cracked.
Kyle's Biological Energy was rapidly decreasing as it repaired his breaking body.
But it wasn't enough.
CRACK!
Kyle's legs broke, and he lost his footing.
The splintered gums continued.
CRACK!
They chomped down on his entire body.
And then…
CRACK!
Kyle's body sank in as a part of the wolf's jaw beneath him broke.
The maw closed harmlessly above Kyle's indent.
That was when a bright storm of lightning appeared in the wolf's maw.
All of its remaining Energy was in there!
Kyle rammed his claws into the bleeding gums and shoved almost all of his Meteor Energy into it.
The storm of lightning hit Kyle.
BOOOOM!
The wolf spat out a bright bolt of lightning, which destroyed the ground in front of it.
Warp Space watched with horror.
He was dead!
Meteor Hammer was dead!
Meanwhile, the wolf's entire body convulsed as Kyle's Meteor Energy freely moved through it.
The Meteor Energy clocked all the Energy Pathways and made its way into the wolf's Beast Core.
The generation of the wolf's Energy was broken, and its Beast Core collapsed.
At the same time, a severely burned body slowly recovered.
Kyle hadn't wasted all of his Biological Energy inside the maw.
He had saved some of it, and he had used that bit to recover the most vital parts of his body.
While the wolf collapsed, Kyle took a deep breath through his bloody and disfigured face.
He would survive.
'Well, I knew from the very beginning that I wouldn't be able to finish my Complex Law in this battle.'
His mind focused on the remaining Essence.
'But I managed to jump from 69% to 85%.'
'Only 15% more to go.'
'I can finish that without another True Battle.'
Warp Space appeared beside Kyle, looking at him with fear and worry.
Kyle just lifted a deformed thumb to show her that everything was fine.
Warp Space sighed in relief.
At that moment, Swamp Dragon appeared in front of them again.
And he wasn't alone.
