The loss of its claw enraged the beast.

More importantly, the severed claw still held massive traces of spacetime energy and artifact light, and the vortex was yanking it upward. Every glowing eye on the Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast lit up at once. Black flames burst out from cracks in its bone armor, and the entire monster lunged straight for Riley.

Riley charged right back at it.

The power surging through her veins was insane.

It felt so overwhelming that her body was on the verge of splitting apart.

Every swing of her axes burned away a chunk of her life essence.

Every impact she blocked made her bones creak loudly.

Still, she never stopped.

Empowered by the dark red power, her Storm Splitter Dual Axes tore clean through the beast’s tough bone armor. Where she’d only been able to carve tiny cracks before, she now split entire plates of shell with a single strike.

The Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast snapped its jaws and lunged to bite her.

Riley dodged sideways, driving her axe blade straight into a glowing eye on its neck.

The eye burst apart in a flash of light.

The beast’s huge head jolted sharply to the side from the blow.

The remaining survivors on the platform who hadn’t gotten far stared on, utterly horrified.

The leader of the reddish–brown heavy armor squad mumbled in shock, “She’s way too strong…”

The scarred man said nothing.

Leaning on his broken halberd, he only wanted to get as far away from this platform as possible.

Riley’s fighting style grew more and more ferocious.

The demon power flooding her body unleashed all the suppressed rage she’d held back. She didn’t see the monster’s high level, its rule suppression, or the swirling spacetime vortex.

All she saw was a creature that tried to take Pineapple Beer away from her.

And that meant she had to cut it down.

The Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast was forced backward under her relentless assault.

Its massive body crashed through half of the stone tablet beside the throne, sending black flames and starlight flying everywhere.

Riley stepped off the flying stone fragments and charged higher, crossing her dual axes to slash at the largest glowing eye on the beast’s chest.

The monster let out a fierce growl, half its body trapped and pulled by the vortex.

It didn’t want to get dragged into the vortex.

But it couldn’t bring itself to let go of the crystal’s tempting aura.

The two opposing forces tore at its body, throwing it off–balance for a split second.

Riley seized that tiny opening, her axe blades already inches from the core eye.

But the dark red patterns across her body flickered suddenly.

Sharp, searing pain exploded in her chest.

The backlash from burning her life essence had finally kicked in.

Riley’s movement faltered for less than half a second.

It was all the opening the beast needed. It jerked its head back at the last moment. The axes grazed past the glowing eye, slicing open a huge section of chest armor but missing the vital

core.

Roaring in agony, the beast retreated, half its body lifted toward the sky by the vortex’s pull.

Riley tried to give chase.

But the demon phantom behind her dimmed noticeably.

The Divine Mirror hovering over her chest cracked, a tiny new fissure spreading across its surface.

Riley’s vision blacked out for a moment, and her body began to plummet.

“Burger!”

TartKing’s shout echoed up from below.

Riley crashed heavily back onto the platform, dropping to one knee.

Her Storm Splitter Dual Axes slammed into the stone ground, the dark red flame along the blades fading rapidly.

She gritted her teeth and tried to stand, but a rush of bitter blood surged up her throat.

Supporting Pineapple Beer, TartKing rushed over and immediately showered Riley with healing light.

But the healing barely worked this time.

The lingering demon power inside Riley was actively rejecting the healing energy.

TartKing’s face fell in alarm.

“Burger, your status debuff…”

Riley lifted a hand, cutting her off before she finished.

She turned her gaze to Pineapple Beer.

Pineapple Beer leaned against TartKing. Her face was deathly pale. Brutal puncture wounds from the beast’s claw tore through her shoulder and waist. The crystal still rested in her palm, but its light had dimmed to a faint glimmer.

She was still here.

The tight tension in Riley’s chest finally loosened a little.

“As long as you’re alive.”

PineappleBeer stared at her, a storm of emotions swirling in her eyes.

“You just-”

“We’ll call it a debt. I’m fine. Let’s go home. You got your wish after all.”

Riley’s voice was rough and hoarse.

Pineapple Beer froze for a second, then smiled weakly.

“You always make me owe you favors. I’m starting to think I’ll never pay you back.”

TartKing healed both of them through her tears, sniffling and scolding at the same time.

“Can

you two stop keeping score right now?!”
