Blood was pouring out of Laina's mouth. Her vision was blurry as she continued to lose blood. But she refused to admit defeat. Despite the crushing weight of the beast, she was fighting back. Her mind swirled as a high pitch tone rang in her ears.
She could no longer hear Dante calling her name. Or the gurgling of the beast. But through it all, Laina felt something in her heart. There was a feeling of warmth in her heart.
The warmth soon turned into a heat-like sensation that coursed through her body. She felt as if she was burning from the inside out. Laina was unafraid.
In fact, it felt eerily familiar. But at the same time, her vision goes black.
Laina's body was consumed by fire. Dante looked in awe as the flames that consumed Laina's body spread to the beast.
"Phoenix fire," Dante muttered as he witnessed its brilliance.
