Lilith, intoxicated by her newfound power, unleashed her immense might upon the world. Chaos engulfed cities, and the once-mighty demon slayers, one by one, succumbed to her relentless onslaught. Standing as an unholy force, intertwined with Gabriel's corrupted essence, Lilith reveled in the destruction she wrought.
In the climactic clash between Lilith and the Demon Slayers, hope began to fade and desperation took hold. Eric, battered and bruised, fought alongside his comrades, giving every ounce of strength to free Gabriel from Lilith's clutches. But as their power diminished, Lilith grew ever stronger.
The battle reached its crescendo, thrusting Eric and Gabriel into their most perilous conflict yet. "I don't want to fight you," Eric pleaded with Gabriel, who swung his sword aimlessly, plagued by fragmented memories. Gabriel pressed Eric against a wall, his sword raised to strike a final blow. In a desperate declaration of love, Eric uttered the words, "I love you." A moment of stillness descended as Gabriel's sword fell to the ground. Without warning, Eric kissed him, and a brilliant light began to emanate from his wings. In that moment, Lilith caught sight of the unfolding transformation and seized Eric, mercilessly tearing his heart from his chest. The anguished cry that escaped Gabriel's lips echoed through the room, his beloved lost to Lilith's cruelty.
