And at that very moment, inside Holy Spring City.
Iver, transformed into a Giant Whale, was still roaring.
The Good Lords' tough bodies were completely destroyed by the Great Abyss in an instant.
The various protective rituals they had layered onto themselves and the various supernatural equipment they possessed were as meaningless as scraps of torn paper and rags—the wave attack launched by the Abyss Angel, known as the "Abyss Eye," tore apart every defensive measure in an instant. Even its aftershock shook the Veil of Equilibrium, nearly injuring the stars filling the sky.
Aside from "Hero Ismayil," who had been swept away by Iver's waves earlier, the only person who had survived an attack of this level was Aymar Nur.
The Chain of Friendship, created long ago by the Ring Angel and the Fallen Angel, had ultimately saved his life.
But...
—Had it really saved him?
This equipment could convert physical damage into mental damage, and although it could completely absorb the damage from that attack... was Aymar Nur's mind truly resilient enough to withstand an impact of this magnitude?
The answer was, of course, no.
"Ahhhhhhh—!"
Aymar Nur let out a horrific scream.
In that instant, it was as if his soul had been shattered by the waves ten million times. Mucus, tears, and pink blood gushed from his face as his eyeballs burst apart—the damage was no longer physical. Rather, the mana into which the damage had been converted surged out from every part of his body under the influence of his completely disordered nerves, directly exploding his fragile eyeballs.
Cracks opened all over his body. Surging mana tinged with the scent of blood drifted outward together with the blood bursting forth like a fountain.
The murky yellow mana had already become visible to the naked eye.
