The entire battlefield shifted the moment Maria drove that slender sword into her own chest.
With a gentle smile on her face, she realized there was no way she could win a fight against four people—especially not with Prince Aegon Valerion among them.
So, she chose to end it.
From within her fragile frame, an overwhelming torrent of blood surged out .. far too much to belong to a single person.
It spread across the battlefield like a ruptured dam, soaking everything and everyone in its path.
Then, without warning, the crimson tide ignited.
At Maria's signal, the blood detonated, red flames engulfing the entire area in a massive explosion.
It was a suicidal strike from the Empyrean who had been completely cornered. Even though she had already defeated Dawn, and then Daemon afterward, the Last Survivor's ability had already done its work.
A mysterious power that defied the world's Five Unbreakable Laws.
