The city of Avaloria was finally beginning to breathe again.
After the destruction of the massive rift—an act the people were already calling divine intervention—the chaotic tide of Abyssals had begun to ebb.
Survivors whispered prayers, warriors picked themselves up, and the streets, though still slick with blood, were no longer drowning in it.
Through the ruins moved Elric, Serena von Crestvale, and Selena Vega, sweeping through what remained of the enemy like a hurricane of death.
A guttural roar split the air as a massive, tusked Abyssal beast lunged from between two half-collapsed buildings, its obsidian hide glistening with corruption.
Serena didn't even slow her stride. Her sword flashed in a single, perfect arc—no wasted movement, no hesitation.
The monster's body split from crown to tail, collapsing in two twitching halves before it even understood it had died.
