Chapter 38: Psyche Of Monochrome [2]
The crimson blades pierced through the darkness at a terrifying speed, poised to rip through the crimson haired lady. However, just as they appeared before her, the figure grimaced, and in the next moment, a radiant energy rose from her body, rapidly turning into a purifying, immolating dome that surrounded her.
A bright glow illuminated the endless darkness for a split second, just as the crimson blades struck the barrier with obliterating force. The attacks stacked on each other, each blade creating a fracture on the surface of the holy, purifying dome.
Before long, numerous cracks appeared on the barrier, spreading and stretching to cover its entire surface. However, the barrier ultimately held its ground, shattering just as the crimson blades ended their unrelenting onslaught.
And just then, I felt a terrifying energy brewing beside me. With a deep frown, I glanced to my left.
It was then, for the first time, that I saw Aezel undulating with terrifying power. His muscles squirmed and tensed as lightning crackled across his body. His expression darkened, and then it shifted into one of grim resolve.
...His muscles tensed beneath the sleek battle armor, and then...
Crack--!!
He dashed into the endless darkness, rapidly approaching the two figures still engaged in a brutal war of burning light and... drowning shadows.
