Abbadon gathered the energy around his sword. Behind him, he could hear Seraphina mumbling:223Please respect copyright.PENANAeNaJ9zCQ0e
"Don’t! They will kill you!"223Please respect copyright.PENANApVITSH3LPF
"They touched my woman! They hurt you! What kind of man would I be, Seraphina, if I did nothing?"223Please respect copyright.PENANA93ieKdowI4
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.223Please respect copyright.PENANAs9sO6fPA6L
"Blade of the Dark – Infinitive Horizon."223Please respect copyright.PENANAwxyXxDxmKq
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.223Please respect copyright.PENANAWBIvlp8a1S
"Let’s see if I destroy your ability first—or if you cut mine!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAfdqw3IAo1R
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.223Please respect copyright.PENANA6GNIcuvUKo
"Do you really think you can defeat us—me?" the King demanded.223Please respect copyright.PENANAyR0nP5jU49
"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!"223Please respect copyright.PENANANPgtLQxFyA
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:223Please respect copyright.PENANA2dS7j2ddKx
"You bastard! Be judged and swallowed by the light—Holy Judgement: Eternal Glow!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAky9PF9eOnF
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.223Please respect copyright.PENANAJMkGu3HrA7
"Blade of the Dark – Oblivion Singularity!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAR9UzT4oaf0
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:223Please respect copyright.PENANAHtpcGmLQlB
"You can do it! I won’t forgive you if you die on me!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAkIPcVr5ykF
"Who’s dying? Me? Never!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAX5QEd1Vjg3
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!"223Please respect copyright.PENANALIO4epahKl
She typed the word America and entered yes.223Please respect copyright.PENANA2jKBehYSwi
"Damn!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAX7tt4i1FHe
She ran from the room and immediately saw Dae immobilized.223Please respect copyright.PENANAk34q14VPsN
"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.223Please respect copyright.PENANAKllStZ8XOy
"You really want to kill me?"223Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ou9FVvae
"You’re forcing me! Move out of the way or die!"223Please respect copyright.PENANA0QKqdfaxtp
"Larah, please! I love you!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAH35xbGWKiK
"If you truly love me, let’s destroy this world together!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAKxRC1Hrybb
"This isn’t a solution!"223Please respect copyright.PENANABut8nmKn9c
Larah shook her head and leapt at Dean. He opened his arms.223Please respect copyright.PENANAtHn6CRZTLe
"Larah, I trust you! We’ll go home together!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAtt43Rc29VP
"You fool!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAM2U2pRk7lI
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!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAOBmTH3tMtc
Dae roared, and energy burst from his body, shattering the spears.223Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rq8hZCfUv
Voltra, unshaken, said coldly, "I will destroy your body until nothing remains. Let’s see how you heal then."223Please respect copyright.PENANAalt1vMH2XF
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.)223Please respect copyright.PENANA9qESvfho9o
Voltra shaped the thunder into a lance and shouted, "Raijin’s Judgement!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAjlxSCHlyoU
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.223Please respect copyright.PENANAfcuUidpJDg
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.223Please respect copyright.PENANAKQctOhEQkb
Voltra couldn’t dodge. It wasn’t a fist coming at him—it was death.223Please respect copyright.PENANAxNVGiUP8Jn
And Dae blew his torso apart.223Please respect copyright.PENANAI2BSF1eXLt
Dae collapsed. His legs and one arm began healing—slowly.223Please respect copyright.PENANAQnDjiCYyhT
"Miss President, please… help me get to Rayshel."223Please respect copyright.PENANAkoetD8Pg3d
"Yes!"223Please respect copyright.PENANA0cVtQwDwB2
"You’re going nowhere!"223Please respect copyright.PENANA0mf6SG2lU9
Larah appeared.223Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nk0ZpIkPg
"Where is my brother? He went looking for you!"223Please respect copyright.PENANAciZd6eqOqb
"I did meet him."223Please respect copyright.PENANAdtzujBH3gR
Dae’s eyes dropped to her blood-drenched sword.223Please respect copyright.PENANArjiF8ZLUL3
"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?"223Please respect copyright.PENANAgLg5Kb7E1E
"Then I am a hoe. And now—you’ll join your brother."223Please respect copyright.PENANAFHpCsMLNod
