Abyss Ascension
Kael closed his eyes for a brief moment.
Then—
He released everything.
The abyss energy inside him exploded outward like a storm.
The sky itself seemed to darken.
Leon stepped back slightly.
"…What is he doing?"
Seraphine stared upward.
"He's breaking his limits."
Kael opened his eyes.
They were no longer just glowing.
They were completely consumed by deep purple light.
"Abyss Domain… Full Release."
The darkness expanded far beyond anything before.
The creature froze mid-air.
Its movements slowed drastically.
Kael raised his hand.
"Abyss Rift."
A massive tear opened directly in front of the creature.
This time—
There was no escape.
The rift consumed the creature completely.
Silence followed.
The sky slowly returned to normal.
The portal closed.
Kael remained suspended for a moment…
Then the energy faded.
He fell.
Leon caught him just before he hit the ground.
"…You're insane," Leon muttered.
Kael smiled faintly, barely conscious.
"Yeah…"
"…I know."
But deep inside—
Something had changed.
The Abyss was no longer just awakening.
It was evolving.
