(Somewhere in deep space, Kaelith's POV)
Ru Vassa's severed head spun endlessly through the void of space while divine essence burst wildly from the wound around her neck, as Kaelith watched the entire sequence unfold with disbelief visible across his face.
The battle had barely lasted a few seconds, and yet within those few seconds, Ru Vassa had already died before she could even properly understand what was happening.
Initially, Kaelith genuinely expected her to block Leo's strike successfully despite being caught off guard, because regardless of circumstance, Ru Vassa was still a God whose instincts and reactions stood at the peak of the universe.
Which was why the true shock for Kaelith was not the strike itself, but the fact that her spell suddenly failed at the critical moment when she tried defending herself.
Because throughout his countless years of existence, Kaelith had never once witnessed a God failing to conjure divine essence while casting a spell.
