The blast between Kim and Rassel tore the place apart, leaving them standing amid a black-and-white void, fighting over existence itself. Kim's breath came in ragged gasps; his eyes burned with a madness he had never known before.
"My life was hell… I have seen nothing but hell my whole life…" his voice a mixture of human scream and demonic howl.
The ground beneath him began to split and erupt with volcanic magma; tongues of black flame rose until the sky itself seemed to turn into an open inferno.
He murmured as he stared at Rassel, "Show me… show me the hell."
Suddenly a new page opened in the Book of Sin on its own, as if answering his rage. The symbols on it boiled like blood, the words writing themselves:
> "New skill unlocked: Throne of Ash and Hell."
The infernal tableau: From the earth's cracks a colossal fiery skeleton emerged—its bones made of scarlet flame, a gigantic sword driven through its skull bleeding volcanic lava like drops of red blood.
The skeleton raised its head, its eye sockets carved out with fire, and bowed before Kim: "Master…"
Kim stepped forward heavily, gripped the sword's hilt lodged in the beast's skull. The skeleton roared as if its cry had opened a gate to hell itself.
The moment of the sword: When Kim pulled the blade free, the surrounding fire burst into a black-and-red vortex. Everyone within range—the heroes, the guards, even the buildings—burned at once and turned to ash that scattered on the wind.
Kim, with a broken smile: "This is not a sword… this is an ending."
Absolute madness: The hellish energy fused with the Eternal Flame within him and with Ammon's curse lodged in his soul. His body became half human and half demonic; his voice echoed like a thousand souls screaming at once.
Rassel the Cosmic knelt on one knee, his armor cracking under the wave of fire. "Incredible… he has become a vessel of hell itself!" he said in shock.
Kim laughed, his voice shaking the earth: "This is my true face… this is Kim, forged by life and hell together!"
With every step he took, the ground turned into a scorched gray desert, and the fire behind him built a throne from the giant skeleton's skull.
He raised the lava-sword and shouted: "I will show you all… the hell I've lived through!"
