Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3145

However, what grounded Vance's gears and pushed him into greater despair was yet to come.

Ramon and his forces had returned to Throne City. Entering through the north gate, they completely sealed off the Coven of Heavenly Radiance warriors' escape route.

"Lord Ramon has returned! Kill them! Wipe out these invaders!"

The Ludendorff family's morale surged.

The Coven of Heavenly Radiance warriors were done for.

Ramon, his face cold and hard, attacked furiously from behind. With each strike, three Coven warriors were torn apart and dismembered. Tears welled up in Iridessa's eyes as she cried out, "Vance, let's go! We've lost!"

Vance's longsword struck out wildly, forcing Alonzo back as he roared, "No! I won't be defeated. Hold your ground! We'll fight our way back out!"

His mind had spiraled entirely into chaos, unable to accept this outcome. But in that brief moment of hesitation, he'd given Ramon another opportunity.

Ramon's forces blocked the Coven's warriors inside Throne City from behind, trapping them with nowhere to advance or retreat. They could only scramble in panic, completely losing all order as they were mercilessly slaughtered.

Initially, with an orderly retreat, they could have evacuated a portion of their forces. However, Vance's madness had robbed the Coven's warriors of their last hope of survival.

The brutal, bloody massacre continued for over ten minutes.

The last Coven of Heavenly Radiance warrior let out a roar. Before he could even strike, Ramon's greatsword came down on his head. With a crack, he was split in two and died on the spot.

In an instant, only Vance and Iridessa remained.

Tears streamed down her face as Iridessa screamed at Vance again, "Run, Vance! If we don't leave now, we're both going to die!"
