The End of the Gate
The massive Abyss Rift consumed everything in its path.
The commander was thrown across the battlefield, crashing into the base of the tower with devastating force. Cracks spread across his armor as he struggled to stand.
Kael didn't stop.
He moved forward again.
Step by step.
Each step heavier with power.
"This ends here," Kael said quietly.
The commander looked up at him.
For the first time—
There was no confidence in his eyes.
Only realization.
"You've surpassed expectations," he said.
Kael raised his blade.
"And you underestimated me."
With one final strike—
The commander fell.
Silence followed.
Kael turned immediately toward the core.
The massive structure pulsed violently, reacting to the instability of the battlefield.
Seraphine shouted:
"Destroy it now!"
Kael didn't hesitate.
He placed his hand on the core.
Darkness surged.
"Abyss Collapse."
The core shattered.
The entire tower began to crumble.
The world around them started collapsing as the gate destabilized.
"Move!" Leon shouted.
The group retreated quickly as the environment broke apart.
Moments later—
They were thrown back into their world.
The gate behind them collapsed completely.
Silence filled the forest.
Kael stood still, breathing heavily.
The system appeared one last time.
LEVEL UP
LEVEL 35
But Kael barely looked at it.
Because now—
He understood the truth.
This war wasn't just beginning.
It had already started.
And somewhere beyond the broken gate…
Something far more powerful was waiting.
