Cracks spread across the golden soul. Liam grasped the soul and erased the final bits of Archon's will attached to it. He then brought it into his soul space.
The moment the Archon's soul disappeared, the ruined battlefield finally fell silent.
Liam remained completely still for several seconds, almost unable to believe that it was actually over.
His first soul avatar floated in the distance, surrounded by slowly fading white-golden flames, while the second stood nearby with black and crimson energy still rolling across its damaged body.
Both were Dao Grand Masters, both belonged to him, and inside his soul space was now the soul of the man who had nearly killed him only moments ago.
"Holy shit."
Liam slowly lowered himself to the ground. The moment the tension disappeared, exhaustion hit him all at once. His legs nearly buckled beneath him as the pain he had been ignoring surged back through his consciousness, and Luna hurriedly wrapped an arm around him before he could fall.
