Chapter 80: The Burning Blade vs. The Abyss

The battlefield was a graveyard of corpses, both human and beast, but mostly beasts. Blood soaked the dirt, mixing with the acrid scent of burning flesh and the sickly-sweet stench of spilled monster entrails. The cries of pain of the wounded filled the air, yet a strange stillness had settled over the surviving hunters.

Their gazes were locked onto the two figures standing amidst the carnage.

Commander Garrett and the last humanoid tier-one beast.

Garrett's red-and-yellow sword pulsed with violent heat, its flames licking hungrily at the air. His breath came steady, controlled. His red armor bore the marks of war—cuts, dents, and scorch marks where dark energy had tried to consume him. But his eyes remained sharp, burning with unyielding determination.
