Ashiel dropped to his knees again, unmoving.
“GET UP!” Cris yelled, slashing through enemies with silver fire.
But Ashiel didn’t move.

“I’m not a monster… don’t run away from me.”
His eyes turned black-red. The silver fire around him surged—violent and alive.
Then he exploded.
A sonic blast of power rippled outward, turning every shadowed creature to ash.
