Calypso blinked. "Ah. I didn't think that through."
"The axe, darling," Nyx noted.
"I'll get it back!"
"… No need," The Space Valkyrie sighed and pulled it back for her overly energetic friend.
Alice's beam was the last to fall, and it fell like judgment. The golden light of Radiant Devastation lanced down from the dark halo above Kaiden's head and struck the center of the basin, sweeping left in a controlled arc that carved through Slashers, rubble, and the trailing edge of Chinedu's reformed barrier. The S-tier spearman threw himself clear as the beam sheared through the space he'd occupied a heartbeat earlier, golden fire scorching the stone where his boots had been.
The sweep caught one of his fighters who didn't move fast enough. The beam hit the man's already ruined armor from Kaiden's attack and punched right through. He dropped and didn't get up.
The first kill.
