บท 2096: Empyrean

Death's Scythe vibrated violently. Eventually, it broke free of Dyon's hands, raising up into the skies and shaking with all its might. 

Suddenly, its black fog began to form a vague image. It wasn't a person or a beast. Rather, it was simply a single pupil with irises as red and blood and whites as black as night. 

A ghastly scream reverberated across the battlefield. 

Swaths of enemies who met this gaze fell one after another, their souls ripped from their bodies and sacrificed to Reaper.
