Asher rolled his shoulders once and exhaled slowly.
The temperature in the hall dropped.
A ripping sound echoed behind him.
Shadows twisted.
Space bent.
And Asher finally stopped fighting alone.
Both chimeras crouched ahead of him, ready to pounce. Blue flames flickered across their molten bodies. Their void cores spun faster, loud and unstable.
Asher lowered his stance.
"…Yeah. Enough of this."
His shadow stretched behind him—then thickened into a dark crack on the floor.
"Okay. Abyss Dragon Knight… come out."
The crack split open, and a tall armored figure stepped out. Black plates covered its body, shaped like a dragon's scales. A heavy greatsword rested on its back. Blue soul-fire burned inside the slits of its helmet.
This was Asher's last remaining reaper.
