Abbadon gathered the energy around his sword. Behind him, he could hear Seraphina mumbling:49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRykJBjehD
"Don’t! They will kill you!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF16wcXYwL
"They touched my woman! They hurt you! What kind of man would I be, Seraphina, if I did nothing?"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraW0BjmmMl
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lDUBjNeXl
"Blade of the Dark – Infinitive Horizon."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmh5flZyr
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtgKmTg1CR
"Let’s see if I destroy your ability first—or if you cut mine!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnMdSanaAf
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXhwHpuci
"Do you really think you can defeat us—me?" the King demanded.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfJV5arG3b
"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!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQezAoRKLVy
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:49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpJ3ONUwcT
"You bastard! Be judged and swallowed by the light—Holy Judgement: Eternal Glow!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ9Yqo77k1
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XsuFgQXNL
"Blade of the Dark – Oblivion Singularity!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrswOPFHH1
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:49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9umGz3HTNM
"You can do it! I won’t forgive you if you die on me!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10x4cWnYQS
"Who’s dying? Me? Never!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOly8xspBU
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!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lBJmIjEhj
She typed the word America and entered yes.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImAZswKCgE
"Damn!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX17CbmO1WF
She ran from the room and immediately saw Dae immobilized.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNETd0VkOPJ
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSO6yaKTFU
"You really want to kill me?"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXSxk7KoRt
"You’re forcing me! Move out of the way or die!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN4yob6VIT
"Larah, please! I love you!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtsJ9hZMOD
"If you truly love me, let’s destroy this world together!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLXNyglZH
"This isn’t a solution!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfiFB2ogqT
Larah shook her head and leapt at Dean. He opened his arms.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh5T709KX0
"Larah, I trust you! We’ll go home together!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYlmNIohx
"You fool!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIORv1pD37J
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!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpV15pHLdU
Dae roared, and energy burst from his body, shattering the spears.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7uxn8KqmB
Voltra, unshaken, said coldly, "I will destroy your body until nothing remains. Let’s see how you heal then."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyVSDEEZON
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.)49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYDsPc2mtB
Voltra shaped the thunder into a lance and shouted, "Raijin’s Judgement!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqk8i2isFn
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cm4qZEOqJ
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM9qNeHyEA
Voltra couldn’t dodge. It wasn’t a fist coming at him—it was death.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtf7B2Zzkw
And Dae blew his torso apart.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrM8Erwf8y
Dae collapsed. His legs and one arm began healing—slowly.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIozIOJl0K
"Miss President, please… help me get to Rayshel."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXQ9IuyxEe
"Yes!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw489YoN9qy
"You’re going nowhere!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7vYid695N
Larah appeared.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlecKU2Px5
"Where is my brother? He went looking for you!"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg8j4Msoir
"I did meet him."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVUCgoHbkb
Dae’s eyes dropped to her blood-drenched sword.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHHFiVRGFA
"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?"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZKavYPE13
"Then I am a hoe. And now—you’ll join your brother."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbdrn4rvPZ
