On the penultimate floor of the Ebony Tower, the Prince of Madness had clashed with Asterion, the Dreamspawn... the Demon of Hunger.
The obsidian walls of the ancient tower groaned and shook from the dire ferocity of their confrontation. The forces unleashed by each blow were fearsome enough to obliterate both Awakened and Masters, and very few Saints would withstand them without being grievously wounded.
A net of cracks was slowly spreading across the floor of the great hall, and across its distant ceiling as well.
Cassie could barely endure the burden of being caught in the violent storm of their battle, her body still in the process of being transformed into that of a Supreme.
'Unfair...'
