Pushed Back

The battle between their opposing forces raged on, their Angel and Demon energies refusing to yield. The sky trembled under the sheer magnitude of power colliding between them.

Then, in an instant the tension reached its breaking point.

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted in the air, consuming everything in a blinding burst of light. The raw energy shattered outward in waves, sending streaks of golden fire and abyssal darkness scattering like dying stars.

As the light faded, only shimmering particles remained, drifting lazily through the air. But Clyde didn't stop to admire the aftermath.

In a split second, he dashed upward with his speed that made him into a blur of motion, cutting through the remnants of the explosion. His eyes locked onto the place where Uriel had been hovering just moments ago.

But when he emerged on the other side of the explosion she was gone.
