Abyss ignored Kaizer's words entirely. Instead, it slowly raised its right hand to the side as black flames erupted around its palm. The fire did not burn with violent intensity. It flowed with eerie calmness, twisting and compressing upon itself until it forged the outline of a massive two handed longsword.
The weapon possessed no ornamentation or beauty. Its pitch black blade seemed to absorb the surrounding light while endless black flames silently crawled along its edge as though reality itself was being consumed.
"Sharing such information serves no purpose since you won't be remembering it by the time this is over," Abyss replied in a calm, emotionless voice.
Buzz!
Kaizer's eyes narrowed as crimson cracks rapidly spread across his body. His expression twisted from confusion into sudden realization. The countless unanswered questions that had plagued the Underworld for months suddenly aligned within his mind.
Everything made sense.
