A being at the Sage Lord rank was notoriously difficult to kill completely.
Even someone as overwhelming as Kaos—a true Sage Master—had cut down the Office of Light time and time again, yet still failed to erase him entirely. Because a Sage Master had already comprehended rules and order, fusing soul and will into the very laws themselves.
So long as the rules endured, life did not end.
Even if slain countless times, they could be reborn.
Aurek, in a single instant, struck millions upon millions of times. Though he still couldn't truly bring the Office of Light to a final end, he had already imprisoned him forever within the chaos of the Sword Realm.
A continuous grinding slaughter. Destruction inch by inch. In the end, everything would return to nothingness.
And that sword strike thoroughly intimidated the Sage Masters of the Lord of the Blazing Eagle, the Primordial Sacred Land, and the Starlight Colonnade—Office of Light included!
