The Soul Devourer's mask of calm shattered. "My Lord!" it cried, voice quivering as the Fire Demon Lord crumpled.
Struggling upright, the Fire Demon Lord's gaze crackled with storm-dark rage, black flames flickering in his pupils.
"You have driven me past mercy," he hissed, each syllable ringing like steel on stone.
Midnight fire erupted from his core, swirling around him in devouring vortices. The Fire Spirit Lord answered by releasing every ounce of golden power, refusing to yield an inch.
Space itself twisted; ripples of chaotic void currents tore at the sky, shredding clouds into dust. Their next collision would not merely decide the victor—it threatened to erase the whole of level seven from existence.
Jared's knuckles whitened around the rim of the Dragon Bell. Every soul beside him held the same breathless dread. If even the level six above them broke apart, the bell's bronze skin would mean nothing—and none of them would leave this sky alive.
Boom!
An earth-splitting crash that seemed to tear the heavens echoed..
A lance of blinding gold fire shot from beyond the ninth vault, racing downward so fast the air screamed and curled in its wake.
The blaze was unlike any flame known to men or gods, carrying a sovereign majesty—as though the very ancestor of fire had decided to walk the mortal world.
Midair, the torrent burst outward, feathering into the colossal shape of a phoenix wrought entirely of molten gold. It spread incandescent wings and loosed a cry that shook mountain roots and cloud crowns alike.
A resonant note rolled through the battlefield, deeper than thunder, purer than a bell.
The instant that radiant cry rang out, the black inferno cloaking the Fire Demon Lord and the sacred golden flames shrouding the Fire Spirit Lord bowed beneath an unseen command.
Where those fires had roared violently moments before, they now knelt like subjects before their monarch, guttered, and died in silence.

Josephine's first time seeing Jared kill isn't with Leyton but with Falcon. Pay attention to your work....
