Aether did smile... There was a chance, hope.
When the black ice suddenly cracked, Atlas lunged forward again and shattered the massive black ice block with a single punch.
After that, without waiting even a second, he began to cast the Strike and Destruction runes, not into the air this time, but directly onto the passage.
He didn't stop there. To make the two runes work faster, he didn't forget to draw a few "Haste" runes directly.
The dozens of runes glowing on the demon gateway began to make a sound like a blacksmith hammering iron, and this sound spread for miles.
No demons were coming out of the demon gateway. More accurately, they couldn't come out. Atlas's ability to use runes had developed after he had naturally eliminated a total of 13 demon gates. He wasn't as good as Constantine. That was impossible. Still, he was now faster, and the runes he created were much more stable.
He smiled and began to create more runes without pausing for even a second.
