Ethan quickly realized that if this dragged on, it was only going to get worse.
The battlefield around them was spiraling into chaos. Nysera and Idra were tied down by the summoned monsters, lightning and raw energy slamming together overhead hard enough to tear at the fabric of space.
Auri's defensive barrier was taking hit after hit.
And that firefly hanging back in the distance—calm as a conductor—kept summoning new monsters into the fight like it had all day.
If they didn't deal with it first, this battle would never end.
Ethan drew a deep breath.
The Heavenly Demon Lightning inside him spun up fast. White electricity spread from deep in his bones through his whole body, wrapping him like a faintly glowing neural web.
The air around him turned heavy. Space itself seemed to sense something about to erupt, and it began to tremble.
The next moment, Ethan vanished from where he stood.
A streak of white lightning ripped through space.
