Protection

Himmel Soan refused to take his failure lying down. He didn't have enough time. If he had, maybe things would be different.

All those creatures were trapped. Himmel Soan didn't have enough energy to sustain this new technique.

The twelve Quasi-Emperors were attacking him together. He felt the space around him contort, and time seemed to freeze. He knew he was about to die.

"Kill him!"

The nine-headed monster was exhilarated. Himmel Soan had given him such a hard time. He felt he could finally take his revenge.

"This is what death feels like." Himmel Soan closed his eyes.

He was so tired that he couldn't move a finger. A force fell upon him, and he felt his body disintegrate.

"I'm sorry, Firey. I can't go back.

"My children of the Soan empire, I'm sorry. I wish I could see you one last time.

"I'm sorry…"

A lot of things flashed past Himmel Soan's eyes in the last moment of his life.
