The Morningstar killer move was unleashed swiftly, and the caster's question did nothing to stop the twisted, expanding liquid laws from surging onward. There was no need to wait for Belain to speak his so-called "last words." In an instant, another roaring flood poured down upon the "prey" lying motionless on the stone floor.
At that moment, the vast, immaculate sky was once again completely shrouded by a curtain of black water...
"Are you trying to kill me? Then come on, attack to your heart's content! Would I, Belain, fear death? It doesn't matter. All your schemes are meaningless. Great Mestur's plan is about to succeed, and then the entire Multiverse will submit beneath the feet of the great 'Archmage.' You insignificant insects will all pay for today's arrogance and conspiracy!"
Facing the Tide of Trailing Light crashing down upon him, Sky Shard's azure eyes blazed with light. He knew perfectly well that death was inevitable, yet at this final moment, he still used his last remaining strength to roar out a mental wave declaring his loyalty.
Even as he was about to fall within this remote and despicable trap, Belain remained utterly loyal to the "master" he served.
Perhaps, in a sense, Sky Shard had already become Mestur's fanatic believer...
Of course, just as devout faith could not redeem a pitiful god, devout loyalty could not save Belain lying on the ground.
An instant later, the rolling waves filling the sky thundered forth. The spreading dark Law energy obscured all sight like an avalanche of snowflakes. The devastation suffered by the Fallen Leaf Woods had apparently not yet ended. Boundless desolation and killing intent once again filled the deep valley crater—great swathes of Shattered Laws ground and collided against one another, while exploding energy shockwaves released piercing, earth-shaking roars.
