Villain Ch 1598. Last Candle
The sky exploded again. Black meteors pelted the entire zone. Stone turned to lava. Players screamed. Alex dropped to one knee, shielding his head. His robe caught fire.
Allen lifted his sword, now glowing with abyssal runes.
"Abyss Shatter."
-BOOM!
The ground cratered.
The entire party lifted into the air—blasted like debris.
Every status screen blinked in red.
Every HP bar screamed.
Alex hit the ground first.
Coughing.
Barely breathing.
Allen loomed over him, face shadowed by blood-soaked bangs.
"You did well, Healer," he said softly.
Then raised his blade.
Alex didn't scream.
Didn't plead.
He just closed his eyes.
And a second later…
-CLANG!
The blade didn't fall.
Because Azura tackled Allen from behind, daggers in both hands.
"NO!"
Allen turned—smiling.
She lunged at him with a scream, blades flashing in both hands, fury lighting her every step.
Allen didn't flinch.
Didn't move.
Didn't need to.
He caught her mid-charge.
