For a moment, the battlefield fell into an uneasy silence after the Celestial Abyssal Beast collapsed into the ruins below.
The overwhelming pressure that had once filled the sky weakened and the destruction settled into stillness as dust continued to drift through the air.
But Clyde did not calmed.
He stood amidst the wreckage, lightning still crackling faintly around his body while the flames along his arm flickered with reduced intensity.
His eyes remained locked on the massive fallen form before him. There was no relief in his expression or satisfaction. Only focus. Because the thing was still alive.
He did not look for Mina or the others. None of them mattered right now in his mind.
Everything in his mind centered on one thing. The creature. And beyond that, something far greater.
