Spectra lunged at Wither, attempting to stab him with his Excalibur.
Wither managed to jump out of the way, kicking Spectra down in the process.
"What do you want from me?!" Wither shouted.
Spectra did not reply, instead answering him with a quick slash across his chest.
Wither couldn't get out of the way fast enough, taking the full hit.
He collapsed, having difficulties breathing.
Spectra loomed over him, holding the Excalibur above his chest.
"I want you dead," Spectra whispered, before plunging the sword through his chest.
Wither was overwhelmed with pain. He couldn't move.
Spectra watched as Wither disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"What the..." Spectra was dumbfounded - he had never seen anyone do that before.
Spectra suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down to see the Night's Edge poking through it...
"Checkmate," Wither whispered, before yanking the sword out of Spectra's back.
Spectra fell to his knees, defeated.
Wither grabbed him by the throat, then flew him out of the Corruption.
"If you come back here," Wither warned him, "you'll find out what true pain feels like."
Wither then kicked Spectra to the ground of the Purity.
Spectra tried to get up, but he was too weak to move.
"Never come back here again," Wither repeated.
A loud roar shook the ground. Spectra turned around, facing Wither, and screamed.
Wither turned to see a gigantic eyeball staring right at him.
"Well, this will hurt," Wither said to himself.
The eye charged at him, hitting him hard.
Wither recuperated, then retaliated with a flurry of slashes from his sword.
The eye fell to the ground.
"I'd like to see you survive THAT," Wither taunted.
The eye burst open, revealing several rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Wither stared at the many teeth in front of him, then quickly jumped to the side to avoid being eaten by the "eye."
He quickly deployed a few decoys to confuse it, but it already had targeted Wither himself.
As a last resort, Wither, charged into the mouth, getting his leg impaled on a tooth. He activated a grenade, then tried to escape.
But the tooth was holding him still, preventing him from moving.
The grenade exploded, destroying the eye, and badly injuring Wither. He fell to the ground, nearly landing on a thorny bush.
He couldn't see anything - the explosion had just about blinded him.
That's when he heard the all-too familiar sound of something approaching...
