Chapter 41: When Legends Descend
Return to Chaos
The moment Elior snapped back into reality—
The chamber of the
Aeralis Ruins
was already beyond saving.
Pillars collapsed.
Ancient symbols shattered.
Light and darkness clashed uncontrollably.
At the center—
The fractured seal between
Ignis
and
Vernix
was no longer holding.
CRACK—
The seal shattered completely.
Silence.
For a single moment—
Everything stopped.
Then—
Darkness exploded outward.
A massive form emerged from within the broken seal—
Towering.
Distorted.
Neither fully shadow—
Nor fully form.
Abyssion
The air vanished.
Breathing became heavy.
Even the wind outside stopped.
Its eyes opened—
Endless.
Void-like.
Elior looked in Shock
"…So this is…"
Elior whispered.
"…the Abyss…"
Dr. Vael staggered back.
"…It's fully awakened…"
At the center—
Both Lunashades were forced back—
Their resonance broken—
Now insignificant before the true entity.
Umbrael Watches
Umbrael stood still.
Looking up.
For the first time—
No control.
Just awe.
Abyssion raised its arm slowly—
The entire chamber bent around it.
Reality itself distorted.
A wave of energy spread outward—
Crushing everything in its path.
Elior braced himself.
"…We can't fight that…"
Umbrael's Realization
"…No…"
Umbrael whispered.
"…This isn't power…"
"…This is inevitability."
The ruins began collapsing completely.
Stone fell endlessly.
The ground split open.
Even Lunashade trembled.
Unable to approach.
Elior Refuses
"…No."
He stepped forward.
Even now.
"…There's still a way."
As if reacting to his words—
The sky above the ruins changed.
Light broke through the darkness.
From above—
Two powerful auras descended.
The air shifted.
Balance returned—
Even if only slightly.
From opposite sides of the sky—
Two figures emerged.
One blazing like an eternal flame—
Ignis
The other shining with radiant light—
Vernix
They hovered above the ruins—
Facing the awakened Abyssion.
The entire world seemed to pause—
Caught between three forces:
Fate.
Faith.
And the Abyss.
Abyssion roared—
A sound that shook reality itself.
Ignis ignited brighter.
Vernix shined stronger.
And Elior stood below—
Between legends—
At the center of everything.
And the journey continues
