The street had become a graveyard.
Bodies of Raed Circle soldiers littered the pavement, their blood soaking into asphalt, their mana absorbed and converted into Jorghan's reserves.

Dr. Raymond lay in two pieces, his body bisected by a blood essence blade when he'd tried one final electromagnetic attack. His upper half had fallen ten feet from his lower, his face frozen in shocked realization that his lightning had finally met something it couldn't overcome.
Cassandra had died attempting to save him.
