Coldness and killing intent flared in Skull Lord's eyes as he saw the Neo-Angel begin to retreat. There was no way he would be content with the enemy living like that, especially after an ambush that almost ended in severe wounds.
The charging power of his war horse surged explosively, its momentum multiplying as Skull Lord launched one final assault with slashing force capable of piercing reality itself. Space trembled beneath the hooves of the beast, cracks spreading through the sky like fractures in glass.
Yet even while being driven back, the Neo-Angel did not collapse. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed layers of defensive power, sacrificing position to gain time. Each clash rang like a collapsing star, but slowly, steadily, the Neo-Angel achieved his goal.
One by one, the ArchDeities of the Freedom Path disengaged and fled the battlefield, tearing open escape routes through space and vanishing into the distance, far from the battlefield.
