End of Second Stage

'So he wants to end the battle in the open and not in the confinement of the domain,' Alex thought as he watched the sphere of twisting elements collapse, leaving behind three figures.

After the final exchange, Alex was in no condition to continue the battle as he did not have the means to heal himself before he was killed, so he was forced to stop using Monarch Aura even though he could keep using it for two more minutes, and then use Chrono Sanctuary to recover back to full recovery.

At the same time, patriarch Galatan had also completed the preparation, making the once dull core shine with blinding illumination and seeing that Daenal threw away Alex and rushed with his hands pulsing with misty dark flames.

The flames burned his flesh, leaving behind just murky dark, bony hands that ripped into the barrier within moments, and the moment Daenal was inside, he used his domain, only dragging patriarch Galatan into it.
