Robuke surged forward like a force of pure devastation, his aura expanding with such overwhelming intensity that it tore through the vast ocean of golden energy surrounding the Scarlet King.
Through the blinding golden light, Robuke caught sight of Cain's silhouette.
In that instant, his killing intent exploded.
His massive war axe ignited with dark, organic essence—an insidious power that did not merely destroy, but corrupted and twisted the very laws of existence. The weapon howled as he brought it down with all his strength.
"SHRIIIRKK—!"
Space-time itself warped and shattered beneath the force of the strike. The sheer power contained within that blow was enough to annihilate any being within the Third Realm, erasing them completely from existence.
And yet—
Just as the axe was about to land, a hand shot forward.
It was calm. Precise.
Unyielding.
Cain struck the axe's edge.
With nothing but his bare hand.
