The marble beneath Seth’s sneakers cracked under the weight of the clash, fissures racing outward like spiderwebs.
The Griffon’s talon pressed down with divine force, glowing with radiant light, while Seth’s fist pulsed with writhing Hellfire.
For an instant, neither side yielded—black infernal energy against golden celestial brilliance, two opposing forces colliding head-on.
The air rippled violently, a shockwave blasting outward. Smaller Griffons shrieked as the shockwave caught them mid-flight, scattering them against the far walls.
Seth slid backward, boots screeching across stone, his hoodie whipping in the gale. His knuckles throbbed from the impact, but the grin on his face only widened.
“Finally,” he muttered, eyes alight with savage thrill. “Something that can hit back.”
