A white fla ignited within the pupil of Cain's Ancestor Eye.
In the sa instant, that fla burst outward from his body, surging skyward and forming a colossal pillar of white fire that pierced the highest sky. It rose endlessly, as if seeking to burn through the very limits of the Dark Blood Realm.
The power contained within it was so vast that both kings
instinctively leapt backward, as they feared being caught within its reach and being incinerated.
Yet the white flas did not burn.
They devoured nothing.
Their effect was far more terrifying.
The flas resonated with ti-yet they did not obey it. They moved according to principles that stood above ti itself, distorting causality, freezing motion, and severing the natural order. Even the will of the Dark Blood Realm trembled as the power was unleashed, as if the world itself recognized the awakening of a truly apocalyptic force.
This was not rely strength.
This was authority.
Slowly, the towering pillar receded. The white flas withdrew, flowing back into Cain's body and settling within his flesh, bones, blood, and soul. When it was over, Cain stood calmly in the sky, his figure radiating a quiet, suffocating dominance.
A wide smile of pure exhilaration spread across his face.
"So this is the power one gains after forging a Flawless Ancestor Drop," Cain murmured, his voice carrying unmistakable excitent. "Not even my Zero-State Force-the combined authority of Entropy and Nihility-can compare to this."
His fists clenched, not in rage, but in thrill.
Then he vanished.
Cain reappeared directly before the two kings in less than a blink.
Instantly, Lortar felt a surge of dread and horror explode in his heart. His instincts scread at him with unprecedented intensity.
That white fla was death.
No.
It was worse than death.
The dark eye embedded in Eonar's forehead also detected the threat, but the entity within the Blade of the End of Tis knew only destruction. It forced Eonar's body to attack regardless, hurling itself toward Cain with murderous intent.
Cain dodged effortlessly.
In the sa motion, he appeared directly before Lortar.
"His speed... it rose again!" Lortar's mind scread in panic.
But that was not the truth.
Cain's speed had not increased.
The mont the white flas manifested, the stasis force field surrounding Cain had grown exponentially stronger-so
overwhelming that even the temporal mantle forged by the Blade of the End of Tis could barely endure its pressure.
The threat of annihilation shattered Lortar's battle spirit.
Fear twisted into desperation as killing intent erupted from him. With a roar, he swung his halberd at Cain with all the power he could muster, flas tearing through the air.
He did not seek victory.
He only wanted Cain to retreat.
To create distance.
To run.
Unfortunately for the Kalous King, Cain did not dodge.
He raised his arm and used it to block the halberd's blade.
The shock nearly stopped Lortar's heart.
The weapon failed to cut Cain's flesh.
"It enhanced his endurance as well!?" That realization flashed through
Lortar's mind-
And it was his last coherent thought.
Cain's fist drove forward, slamming into Lortar's chest.
White flas erupted from the impact point, bursting out through
the Kalous King's back like spectral fire. The force sent Lortar flying—
but not like a cot.
He moved impossibly slowly.
As if the world itself had fallen into molasses.
"What... is happening!?" Panic overtook his mind.
His thoughts moved normally. His awareness remained intact.
But his body moved in slow motion.
Pain that should have lasted a fraction of a second stretched into endless tornt, each heartbeat dragging on like minutes.
And then-
A ferocious kick smashed into his head.
White flas detonated once more.
This ti, Lortar did not move at all.
His body froze in midair.
His eyes remained open. His consciousness endured. Agony flooded
his senses-but his flesh, blood, energy, and even his soul force were
completely immobilized.
Frozen.
Paralyzed.
"What... is this horrible power...?" His silent scream echoed into
nothingness.
Cain turned away from him.
In the sa instant, his left hand shot sideways, intercepting the Blade of the End of Tis just before it reached his neck.
The dark eye in Eonar's forehead trembled violently as it stared at Cain's bare palm gripping the sword-uninjured, unmarked.
Cain's gaze shifted to the dark eye.
For the first ti since its creation, the soul bound within the Blade of
the End of Tis felt sothing utterly alien.
Fear.
It attempted to retreat, to pull away from Cain's grasp-but his grip
tightened like a vice.
Then Cain's fingers blurred.
They struck Eonar thirty tis in a fraction of a second, tapping
precise points across his body.
At first, the strikes seed harmless.
Then- Every one of those points activated simultaneously.
The intersections between life force and soul force reversed their
natural circulation, crashing into each other violently. Internal explosions tore through Eonar's body, threatening to reduce it to
nothing.
Yet before the destruction could fully manifest, white flas spread
outward from those points.
Everything froze.
Every particle of Eonar's existence-body, blood, energy, soul-was
locked in absolute suspension.
The effect extended further.
The soul within the Blade of the End of Tis was frozen as well,
rendered completely incapable of resistance.
The battlefield fell silent.
The Royal Guards had not looked away for a single mont. Awe and
reverence filled their hearts as they stared at the sky.
The Scarlet King stood alone, calm and radiant, while the rulers of
two of the five great kingdoms of the Dark Blood Realm hung suspended beside him like lifeless statues.
The battle had once been brutal. Even wounded, the kings had fought fiercely-especially after the Blade of the End of Tis seized control
of Eonar.
But the mont Cain released his Ancestor Power...
Everything ended.
Cain took a deep breath. The white fla in his Ancestor Eye faded,
vanishing completely.
Then he seized both kings and descended into the Ocean of the Blood
Sun.
As soon as he subrged, his body relaxed.
And in the next second, a deep cut opened along his arm.
Another appeared across his palm.
