The air crackled with unfathomable power.
Aiden's grip tightened around his sword, the weight of the moment pressing down on him like a mountain. Before him, the Herald of Annihilation floated above the battlefield, an ethereal presence that seemed to stretch across dimensions. The golden radiance of the Architects shimmered around them, warping the space itself.
This wasn't just an enemy.
This was a judge, executioner, and enforcer of absolute order.
And they had come to erase him.
βπππππππβ!
Without a word, the Herald vanished.
Aiden's instincts screamed.
He barely twisted his blade in timeβ
βπππππβ!
A massive shockwave erupted as Aiden parried a strike that came from nowhere. The Herald's sword clashed against his own, divine and abyssal energy colliding in an explosion that sent tremors through the battlefield.
Faster than light. Faster than thought.
The Herald reappeared behind him.
βπππππβ!
