Everything changed so fast, it caught everyone completely off guard.
Not just Infernal Lord Malphas—even Ethan and the others hadn't seen it coming. At this critical moment, who would've thought Diamond Golem Thalrun would suddenly charge back into the fight? Especially when, by all accounts, he was supposed to be on death's door—critically wounded, barely clinging to life!
Everyone had basically written him off.
And that gave Thalrun the perfect opening to land a devastating, fatal blow on Malphas!
"You..." Malphas locked eyes with Thalrun, his face twisted in rage and disbelief, his gaze full of bitter regret.
He never imagined Thalrun still had enough strength left to fight. If he'd known, he would've finished him off properly instead of leaving him half-dead. But now? It was way too late for regrets.
Sure, Thalrun was at his weakest right now, but the full-force strike he unleashed—his innate skill, Diamond Starcrush Strike—was no joke.
