Abbadon gathered the energy around his sword. Behind him, he could hear Seraphina mumbling:6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVlvZ1jYdB
"Don’t! They will kill you!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthQuXqtKBK
"They touched my woman! They hurt you! What kind of man would I be, Seraphina, if I did nothing?"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTk6aIw4PD
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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscD08YdP9o
"Blade of the Dark – Infinitive Horizon."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QFOGIcdxp
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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFN3BHQvgY
"Let’s see if I destroy your ability first—or if you cut mine!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9RbTICJtk
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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCttte3VsSj
"Do you really think you can defeat us—me?" the King demanded.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sBEbRLyo3
"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!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BPVMQhueO
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:6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHdJQwxJOr
"You bastard! Be judged and swallowed by the light—Holy Judgement: Eternal Glow!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT3teQOjMb
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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c3QMnc0Ia
"Blade of the Dark – Oblivion Singularity!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiGY4roDVp
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:6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXhIqVDFV8
"You can do it! I won’t forgive you if you die on me!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEhEg2BQx1
"Who’s dying? Me? Never!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QXIp9gIQg
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!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdltdz8698O
She typed the word America and entered yes.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3BakbWgUf
"Damn!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9rcuvRW2X
She ran from the room and immediately saw Dae immobilized.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNwTXW24n
"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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhSZpBQ87w
"You really want to kill me?"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBQefO8ZC
"You’re forcing me! Move out of the way or die!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysgCXSgsMx
"Larah, please! I love you!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmofZzEj3O
"If you truly love me, let’s destroy this world together!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WSHzAjSU6
"This isn’t a solution!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqBRD4e379
Larah shook her head and leapt at Dean. He opened his arms.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyxpd8UIld
"Larah, I trust you! We’ll go home together!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbko42mUV6O
"You fool!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALLQvHzJ69
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!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS8e4Me2dq
Dae roared, and energy burst from his body, shattering the spears.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmB8XqliXO
Voltra, unshaken, said coldly, "I will destroy your body until nothing remains. Let’s see how you heal then."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd79emrgQo
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.)6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiZVMCPUru
Voltra shaped the thunder into a lance and shouted, "Raijin’s Judgement!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lXdduU95y
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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmuBMXHDs2
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.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz09PRnBBfG
Voltra couldn’t dodge. It wasn’t a fist coming at him—it was death.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBAbjZmoWu
And Dae blew his torso apart.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ScQooMLn
Dae collapsed. His legs and one arm began healing—slowly.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGulgXMYCiA
"Miss President, please… help me get to Rayshel."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIFCuQvRTZ
"Yes!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Y6vZBcUM
"You’re going nowhere!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeE4p4df9C
Larah appeared.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRwVABNPpr
"Where is my brother? He went looking for you!"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa63zSH8kr
"I did meet him."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVTcVdSi1D
Dae’s eyes dropped to her blood-drenched sword.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR4nYaIa0W
"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?"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbRTIV78a
"Then I am a hoe. And now—you’ll join your brother."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbfg5N7tqd
