The First Abyssal General
They didn't have to wait long.
The moment they stepped deeper into the Abyss, the air shifted.
Pressure descended instantly.
Heavy.
Overwhelming.
Then—
A figure appeared.
Not like the creatures before.
Not like the hunters.
This one stood tall, armored in living darkness, with eyes glowing like burning stars.
Seraphine's voice dropped.
"…A general."
Leon frowned.
"That doesn't sound good."
Kael stepped forward.
The mark on his chest pulsed violently.
The figure spoke.
"So… the heir has arrived."
Kael's eyes narrowed.
"You know me."
The general smiled faintly.
"We've been waiting."
Silence fell.
Then Kael asked one question.
"Who are you?"
The answer came slowly.
"I am one of the Seven."
The ground trembled slightly.
"One of the generals who once served your father."
Kael's breath slowed.
"My father…"
The general nodded.
"The Abyss King."
