"You all go to the heart," Eugene said as he rapidly closed the distance and blocked the advancing Destruction.0

Crack! 0

A burst of dark power vaporized along with his flames right before him. Eugene glanced at the tips of his hair turning to ash as he took half a step back.0

"I'll keep this bastard here,” he said.0

No longer could he sense Vermouth in the Demon King of Destruction standing before him. Its eyes were as unfocused as before, and instead of flames, its entire body was enveloped in a vibrant color and dark power.0

"By yourself?" Sienna asked. She was about to join him but paused.0

"Not alone. Anise and Kristina are with me,” Eugene replied, pushing his Divine Sword forward. As if to prove his words, his wings emitted a brilliant light.0

Roar!0

The light quickly turned into a baptism of fire that engulfed Destruction. However, Destruction was not consumed by the flames; instead, it repelled them with its dark power and swirling color.0

"Understood,” Sienna said as she nodded without hesitation.0

Eugene had fought and defeated the specter in the past after it had become the Incarnation of Destruction. But what they faced now was beyond any incarnation. The entity controlling Vermouth’s body was a fragment, or perhaps even the Demon King of Destruction itself. It was on a different level compared to the specter.1

Could Eugene really stop it alone? There was no need to consider...0
