Radmus let out a frosty snort, his gaze sweeping across Bloodbane Palace to the long-since-collapsed altar at its center. “It seems I’ll have to go and find it myself…”

At that very instant, a streak of emerald light tore open the heavens, Jared had finally arrived!

He took in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood spread out before him, sensed the lingering ripples of self-destruction energy still trembling across the floor, and fixed his eyes on Radmus, whose body was now puppeteered by the blood corpses.

Jared‘s eyes instantly reddened.

“Father!” Nymeria’s anguished scream ripped through the carnage, could feel that father’s aura had vanished completely.

Jhaelyn, Jemima, and Thorley reached the scene a heartbeat later.

The devastation that confronted them drained every last drop of color from their faces.
