Lâo Fēng had given us her personal perspective—her final testament—but like the rest of her fallen kin, she too had returned to the great void.

With Lâo Fēng—the last of the Upir family—reduced to nothing but mere residue, Raymond was about to exhale, a soft and quiet sigh of finality.
But there was a problem.
The moment he had touched Lâo Fēng, to save her soul from being consumed by her own ability—standing too close to her fading form—he had also stepped within Gideon’s reach.
A Gideon who was seething with resentment.
His arms pulsed with a deep purple light, veins of raw energy sprawling across his forearms like the roots of an ancient, vengeful tree.
His muscles swelled with unrestrained power, his wrath becoming a tangible force. Then suddenly, without warning, he struck.
It was like a dragon crashing into a mountain.
