Until we meet again

After thanking his opponent for the battle, Kretos could feel his consciousness fading. He was getting sleepy as he lost too much blood. His injuries this time were far worse than when he fought Darius. He needed to merge with his shadow, or else he would be a sitting duck. 

He tried pushing himself but his consciousness couldn't hold out. He didn't have enough clarity to use the technique.

'Is this it for me?... At least my last battle was a fun one...' Kretos lost consciousness.

Upon seeing the death of their lord the Tengus and Harpies were stunned in place. They couldn't comprehend what had just happened. The Overlord of the sky who had ruled the mountains of the North for three centuries has died.
