Warlock Ch 434. Soul Sacrifice
At his command, Valorian—his mighty Guardian—surged forward. Valorian, once proud and strong, charged with his blade shimmering like obsidian fire. But the battle had taken its toll; the Guardian's armor shattered, his form fading, flickering in and out of existence.
Cassius shouted, voice raw with emotion, "Go, Valorian!"
Valorian roared, slamming into Xhar'Thul with a force that sent tremors throughout the shattered battlefield. Damian could only watch helplessly as the Guardian swung his weapon wildly, striking the creature's colossal form again and again—each blow less powerful, each strike dimmer, until finally…
Valorian shattered.
His massive, proud form burst into a cloud of ash and embers. Damian's chest tightened painfully at the sight.
Cassius staggered, coughing violently. Blood splattered from his lips, staining the cracked ground. He swayed, but his eyes never left Damian.
