The darkness contained deep within Levaithan's pupil condensed.
There was no roar or warning.
The enormous eye opened, and the world in front of it disappeared, vaporised into nothingness.
A beam erupted from the pupil.
It was wide and dense, surpassing the fortress walls in size. Beautiful black beams of light with hints of dark purple tore across the ocean, swallowing rain, clouds, waves, and even the sound as it passed over.
The sea beneath the attack vanished instantly, leaving a vast trench cut through the water, exposing the seabed for miles.
Asmodeus felt Ein's hands tighten around Axiom.
[Move!]
There was no time.
The beam reached them.
Ein twisted her body and released every remaining trace of gravity around them. Space bent, forcing the centre of the attack several degrees north, but even that slight movement came at a cost.
The edge of the beam struck them.
Asmodeus's six blood wings folded around Ein and Velvet.
Then everything turned black.
