Noah and Divine Demon went silent as they divided their attention among the battlefields and the sky. They trusted their companions, but Heaven and Earth could cause problems even in their dormant state, so they had to be ready.
Meanwhile, June's battlefield evolved as Noah predicted. Steven sent a wave of dark energy through the rain of blood that turned into a tunnel that he could cross to stand above the fight.
The old woman didn't hesitate to tear apart another chunk of her skin and throw it toward Steven. The gory item transformed into a series of bloody arrows that converged toward Steven, but he disregarded them as he closed his eyes to focus.
The giant arrows pierced Steven's body and left him with nothing more than half a torso, his head, and an arm. His world also suffered injuries, but his eyes remained closed.
