Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Last Resort

...

As Eros unleashes the enhanced power of the Sunfire Lash, Jin Hwa, sensing the imminent danger, instinctively backpedals. The glowing threads emanate an intense radiance, catching him off guard. He retreats, eyes fixed on the brilliant display of power.

In the midst of the dazzling glow, Jin Hwa notices Lilith approaching from the side. The air crackles with an unusual energy, and lilith, recognizing the scent of Samael, can't help but feel a surge of conflicting emotions.

"Lilith," Jin Hwa calls out, a mix of uncertainty and determination in his voice. Lilith, now beside him, senses the transformation in Jin Hwa's aura. "What's going on? Why do I smell Samael from you?" Lilith questions, his usual nonchalant demeanor replaced by a hint of concern.

Jin Hwa, grappling with the newfound powers and the mysteries surrounding his identity, quickly briefs Lilith. "I don't know, but we can't let Eros overpower us. We need to strike together and end this."

With a nod of understanding, Lilith readies himself for the coordinated assault. The battlefield, now bathed in the ethereal glow of Eros's enhanced thread string of Sunfire Lash, becomes the stage for the clash of supernatural forces.

Eros, reveling in the unfolding chaos, taunts them, "Witness the true power of a god!" The Sunfire Lash, a manifestation of divine fury, dances with an intensity that transcends its previous capabilities. Eros, now a formidable adversary, commands the threads with a newfound mastery.

As Jin Hwa and Lilith charge forward, the atmosphere pulses with tension. The clash between the vessel of Lucifer, the embodiment of lust, and the god of carnal and love reaches a crescendo.

In the relentless clash between Jin Hwa, Lilith, and Eros, the battlefield becomes a symphony of strikes and evasions. As Eros transforms the threads into a durable string, Jin Hwa activates the Famished Blade skill with his glaive, attempting to slash through the divine strands. However, the attempt proves futile, showcasing the enhanced resilience of Eros's newfound power.

Meanwhile, Lilith, with his bloody claws, engages Eros in a deadly dance. A successful slash from Lilith draws blood from Eros, but not without consequences as Eros retaliates, inflicting wounds on Lilith. The exchange of blows intensifies, creating an intricate web of conflict.

Seizing the opportunity, Jin Hwa strikes with the Famished Blade and employs the Rapid Strike skill, landing a series of blows on Eros. The god of carnal and love, weakened and bewildered by the altered Famished Blade skill, struggles to comprehend the evolving threat posed by Jin Hwa.

As the battle reaches its climax, Eros, sensing the impending danger, decides to unleash a decisive move. Transforming the threads into a straight and durable string, he swings it at Jin Hwa. Caught off guard, Jin Hwa receives a slash on his arms, the pain searing through him.

In a synchronized effort, Lilith, ever cunning, employs the Serpentine skill, manipulating Eros's desires and momentarily catching him off guard. Lilith signals to Jin Hwa, who seizes the opportunity and resumes his rapid assault. Eros, now vulnerable, utters desperate protests, realizing the gravity of his situation.

"No! I can't die to these filthy insects!" Eros exclaims in desperation as Jin Hwa's final strike, targeted at Eros's neck, finds its mark. The divine threads fall slack, and Eros's severed head rolls across the chaotic battleground, marking the end of the battle.
