The silence after Yuna's body fell was absolute.
Gravius smiled, amused. "That look… ah, the moment a hero snaps. Beautiful."
He didn't get to finish.
Alden's body slipped through the chains as if intangible.
[MONARCH OF MANA HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]
As soon as he slipped past the chains, Alden vanished.
Shadow Steps.
The spot where he stood tore into darkness.
He appeared behind Gravius mid-air, his blade already transforming mid-swing—Sword of Chaos honed into a slender, black katana radiating lethal energy.
CLANG!
Gravius caught it with his gloved hand, grinning. "Is that all? Disappointing"
Alden didn't care. He wasn't finished. Shadow mana rippled.
His emotions were a mess somehow held together by Voidheart.
A child has been killed… a child he had sworn to protect.
She died mercilessly.
He was going to kill the disciple.
It wasn't because he was blinded by vengeance.
No.
