Kevin, who had been standing right behind her, fell with a painful scream. His cry echoed across the battlefield, and within moments, his breath ceased. Fear and regret flashed in Ciara's eyes. She couldn't comprehend that she had just taken the life of her husband's younger brother, Kevin, with her own hands.
Meanwhile, Averia unleashed a devastating strike from her dragon, but it failed to affect Elvis. The blow was so powerful that the ground beneath it cracked and shattered. Thousands of soldiers fighting in that area were instantly reduced to dust as the earth split open. The shadow warriors, formed from the forces of darkness, met their end in one swift moment. However, this destruction also took a heavy toll on Averia's own army. Even the forces of the djinn suffered massive losses, with many warriors falling in the chaos.
Averia's heart was breaking, but at that moment, she couldn't make sense of anything. As soon as she glanced towards Ciara and Kevin, her eyes were met with a sight that sent chills down her spine. Ciara's sword had pierced Kevin's heart and emerged from his back, while Kevin lay lifeless on the ground. A deep sorrow and rage welled up inside Averia. Her eyes turned blood red with fury.
Screaming in anger, Averia slammed both her hands onto the ground, causing it to quake like an earthquake. The earth shook, and the soldiers standing on the battlefield struggled to maintain their balance. Those still fighting were helpless against the tremors, failing to prevent themselves from falling. Everyone was fighting to stay on their feet on the trembling ground, but Averia's sorrow and anger showed no sign of diminishing.
Kneeling on the ground, Averia's gaze remained fixed on Kevin's lifeless body. Her heartbeat quickened, and tears began to flow from her eyes, but now those tears held more anger than pain. With a guttural shout, she screamed, "Elvis! Where are you? Where are you hiding? Come out! I spared you once, but not now. Your end is near!"
Averia's roar echoed through the air. Her words were so full of pain and fury that the entire energy of the surroundings felt heavy. There was an eerie silence in the air, but there was no response from Elvis. No one knew where Elvis was at that moment. But Averia was now consumed by the flames of vengeance. Her eyes burned with a mix of hatred and sorrow, and she was ready to do whatever it took to end Elvis.
Ciara, still in shock, remained standing there, her blood-stained sword in hand. She couldn't understand what she had done, but Averia's shout snapped her back to the present. Trembling, she looked at her hands, still wet with Kevin's fresh blood.
As soon as Averia saw her younger brother Kevin's death, flames of rage ignited in her soul. Her eyes flared with the fire of pain and anger. The ground had slipped from beneath her feet. The most precious bond of her life had ended before her eyes, and she was determined to exact revenge at any cost. She gripped her sword tightly and yelled, "Elvis! If you have the courage, show yourself!" Her voice echoed in the sky as if she had torn the heavens apart.
Elvis, who had disappeared in a flash, suddenly reappeared in front of Ciara. His eyes gleamed with victory, and a cold smile played on his lips. Staring at Ciara, he said, "How does it feel, Ciara? Are you shocked?" His thundering voice and laughter made Ciara tremble.
Then Elvis turned to Averia and said, "Averia, now it's your turn. I will make you feel the same pain you gave me. Your arrogance took my wife and unborn child from me. But now your brother has repaid the debt for my child. Now, let's see if you can save this Ciara."
Elvis' words echoed sharply in Averia's ears. She trembled with pain and fury. Her eyes filled with tears, but she refused to let them fall. Kneeling down, she looked at her brother's dead body, and a wave of grief surged through her chest.
Without hesitation, Elvis placed his sword against Ciara's chest. Ciara, still sitting on the ground, was shaking, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't come to terms with the fact that she had killed Kevin, her husband's brother, who had always treated her like a big sister. The weight of that burden was unbearable in her heart, but there was no mercy in Elvis' eyes.
Mockingly, Elvis said, "Oh, come on, stop crying. This weeping doesn't suit someone like you. I cried too when you took my wife and unborn child from me. But what's the use of crying? Only the weak cry... and I am not weak."
With that, Elvis drove his sword with full force into Ciara's chest. The blade pierced through her body with the speed and strength of lightning. Waves of pain washed over Ciara's face, but no words escaped her lips. She collapsed silently to the ground, her breath slowly fading away.
Averiya, still on her knees, tears flowing like a river, had now lost both her brother and Ciara. Her anger had only grown stronger, but she knew she couldn't defeat Elvis at that moment.
Pulling his sword out, Elvis said, "Now it's your turn, Averia. Get ready... I will give you the same pain you gave me. Your end will be no different."
A new resolve blazed in Averiya eyes. She wiped her tears and stood up. She knew this would be the final battle between her and Elvis.
