Hearing Edith's mockery, Ethan's rage burned hotter than ever.
Yet, this fury was not directed at Edith.
After all, they were enemies by nature; a life-or-death struggle between them was only to be expected.
But at this point, Edith was on the verge of breaking, and there seemed to be a chance for everyone to survive.
And now...
Ethan felt his life force waning, his consciousness growing blurry.
With a resentful roar, he mustered the last of his strength and fired a Holy Light orb at Luke, the one who had unleashed the space blade.
"No!" Luke cried out in despair.
In that moment, Luke regretted his actions—not the sneak attack on Ethan, but rather his underestimation of Ethan's strength.
The space blade had only managed to partially sever Ethan's dragon form, still leaving him with the power to retaliate.
The Holy Light orb struck, reducing Luke to nothing but a bloody mist.
