The battlefield above the Ocean of the Blood Sun erupted once more into explosive chaos—but this time, it was no longer the forces of the Kalous Kingdom who held the advantage.
Hades and Satan pressed their assault with relentless ferocity. Their attacks landed again and again on Gilgark, each clash reopening old wounds, tearing deeper into damaged muscle and bone.
Blood sprayed freely as the injuries compounded, the massive body of the Royal Blutlinie beginning to show signs of strain.
Of course, Gilgark's counterattacks were nothing short of horrifying. Every blow shattered bones, ruptured internal organs, and sent shockwaves through Satan's and Hades' bodies.
Yet as long as they remained within the Ocean of the Blood Sun, the two Royal Guards could endure damage without restraint. Even if their bodies failed entirely, the ocean's vitality would keep them alive—barely functional, but alive.
And that was enough.
