Abbadon gathered the energy around his sword. Behind him, he could hear Seraphina mumbling:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6lfYKp7H1
"Don’t! They will kill you!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs610kg7Ajh
"They touched my woman! They hurt you! What kind of man would I be, Seraphina, if I did nothing?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOA1a3Bb5G
He marched. Whether it led to his end or to victory—no one knew. But he would not stop. He was calm. His head was clear. His walk, slow. And yet, everyone knew the rage inside him—if it could take form—even the earth wouldn’t be enough to contain it. The Queen used her power and hurled stones at Abbadon. At the same time, she summoned storms and launched them too.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDEzSasyIZ
"Blade of the Dark – Infinitive Horizon."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqdOkvgZhG
The stones and tornados were all cut into pieces. Abbadon went after the Queen. The King landed right in front of him with nothing but his bare fists.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHBgUBO3I
"Let’s see if I destroy your ability first—or if you cut mine!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbv6pZteqM
Fist and blade met, and the pressure was enough to destroy everything around them. Rick, Seraphina, and Nade used their power to form a wall, which nearly shattered under the impact.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXgSYskdua
"Do you really think you can defeat us—me?" the King demanded.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvrqh9o39T
"You misunderstand something. I’m sure you know how I got the title of king candidate, right? The only reason I never challenged you was because you were the father of my best friend. Well—now I have no reason to hold back!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBe5F86Cj
The King jumped back, and rays of light crashed into Abbadon—boom, boom, boom! The Queen didn’t stop. She saw a faint line of violet light through the explosion, and the next thing she felt was the cut across her stomach. She spat blood and yelled:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nZd9VFfON
"You bastard! Be judged and swallowed by the light—Holy Judgement: Eternal Glow!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vGI8nLOB
It was as if a new sun had been born—gold and yellow, massive. The Queen let it fall on them. The King aimed both palms at Abbadon. Slowly, Abbadon’s skin began to dissolve. His flesh tore. Veins burst. And yet, Abbadon stayed calm.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0J4ObWrh
"Blade of the Dark – Oblivion Singularity!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdMkAQbd9u
This time, there was no slash. It was as if he had returned the blade to an invisible sheath. First, the King’s power disappeared. Then his arm was caught by an unseen force. The sun divided, then split again, and again—until nothing remained. Not even atoms. Abbadon dropped to one knee. Doubts crept into his mind—until he heard the voice of his woman, Seraphina:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlnLJN7iec
"You can do it! I won’t forgive you if you die on me!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jHNEvkFQ7
"Who’s dying? Me? Never!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8gdDEiqzu
He rose again. His pulse strong. His body in pain. His mind craving rest. But his woman was there. He was far from finished.
In the White House
"Fuck!" Sarah cursed. "I have no other choice. I’m sorry, everyone!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYZdIqhLoH
She typed the word America and entered yes.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8aFJ2ODBm
"Damn!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkLSNHA0J
She ran from the room and immediately saw Dae immobilized.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ipY6to9j5
"Dae!" she shouted. "It’s done! The bombs are heading our way! So you better beat the shit out of that man and hurry back to your woman. Tell her that you love her—because we don’t have much time left!"
Somewhere else
Larah slashed at Dean. He jumped back just in time—the sword barely grazed him.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TxJ2SF3BF
"You really want to kill me?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7VU1UQkGO
"You’re forcing me! Move out of the way or die!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ553GAshsUD
"Larah, please! I love you!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecg4x9FJ2e
"If you truly love me, let’s destroy this world together!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ155AUhPi
"This isn’t a solution!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmaeoQdNnA
Larah shook her head and leapt at Dean. He opened his arms.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2K8rX16Eh
"Larah, I trust you! We’ll go home together!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOyUIS9x9A
"You fool!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfoWdOyoNX
She plunged the sword into his chest and released a surge of wicked energy—it exploded. Dean dropped. He was still alive, but unconscious. Larah left him behind and ran toward Sarah.
Back in the White House
"AARGHHHH!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Knz9k7J7d
Dae roared, and energy burst from his body, shattering the spears.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h3RDaa3eM
Voltra, unshaken, said coldly, "I will destroy your body until nothing remains. Let’s see how you heal then."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeVdsIhpDh
He gathered massive amounts of thunder. Dae dropped to all fours. He closed his eyes and focused. He felt every muscle. (Dae: If what he said about my father is true… then this should work.)26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO95PZD6Fyf
Voltra shaped the thunder into a lance and shouted, "Raijin’s Judgement!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfinPgeEzKk
Humans can’t use 100% of their potential—body or mind. The same goes for demons and angels. But Dae’s father was different. He had pushed himself to the point of becoming undead. That was Dae’s goal. He tightened every fiber of his body. Forced pressure into his muscles. Pushed past the limit. His body broke—and healed instantly.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OxxnP91U8
Then he unleashed everything. His jump cracked the ground, and the pressure pushed everything back. His legs, strained beyond limit, snapped during the leap. But his arm, bursting with force, pierced the thunder lance and charged straight at Voltra.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUG2yWI1m4
Voltra couldn’t dodge. It wasn’t a fist coming at him—it was death.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAFDSAeBR
And Dae blew his torso apart.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Kf6gjS1E
Dae collapsed. His legs and one arm began healing—slowly.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmf2OAn9jw
"Miss President, please… help me get to Rayshel."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPVP13WalF
"Yes!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX8NNByXvM
"You’re going nowhere!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7Ddmrd0X
Larah appeared.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNUOaDGMyu
"Where is my brother? He went looking for you!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQld2BJ87SQ
"I did meet him."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymIObATba7
Dae’s eyes dropped to her blood-drenched sword.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEYiAHZkx4
"Damn. A bitch stays a bitch," he growled. "I knew you weren’t the right one for him when you chose Ezra! I mean—how much of a hoe must someone be to choose Ezra as a partner?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ZkD3cFTH
"Then I am a hoe. And now—you’ll join your brother."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbrraSOKN3
