Kaelira's eyes narrowed, sharp as a blade.
No hesitation. In a single, fluid motion, she shoved Ethan hard, sending him stumbling backward—away from the heart of the fight.
A heartbeat later, she vanished from his side and reappeared in front of the Butcher King.
A torrent of pink energy burst from her like a waterfall of light. She raised her fist—and brought it crashing down.
The impact roared through the cavern. The pink surge engulfed the Butcher King, a tidal wave of force that looked ready to erase him from existence.
But—
He didn't flinch.
Instead, he threw his head back and laughed, the sound booming off the stone walls like a war drum.
"Ha ha ha ha—You? You think you can stop me?"
The Slayerfrost Sword gleamed in his grip, a flash of icy death. He swung it in a wide arc.
BOOM.
The air detonated.
Pink energy collided midair with the Butcher King's killing aura, the two forces spiraling into a massive vortex of raw power.
