A Lord was put on his last breath by an Omniscient… in what could hardly even count as a single strike.

And if there was… they certainly shouldn't have been able to do it so easily.

The person that was the most shell-shocked, though, was Aika herself. She stood in the skies in a daze, her face growing paler and paler as tear streaks fell from her once delicate, now shallow cheeks. She looked as though she had lost her soul.
