The first thing that Wili'am thought when he felt the overwhelming feeling was;
'I NEED TO STOP HIM!'
At that point, he knew there was only a single second between life and death—a tiny fraction of ti that would determine his fate.
And so, he decided to use the most logical strategy ever.
'[Domain Of The Lord]!'
He would simply turn the entire space that surrounded Jet into a Zone and switch it with sothing else.
~ZZTZ!~
'H-HUH…?!' Much to Wili'am's shock, it did not work.
His almighty power, the SS-Tier Skill that only Dragon Lords and the Emperor could possess in all of H'Trae… did not work!
'W-WHY….?'
Wili'am did not have the luxury to indulge in such confusing thoughts, though. If he couldn't create or swap out Zones around Jet—perhaps due to the interference of the power that the man was about to unleash—then he would simply resort to another solution.
'[Grand Claw Attack]. [Dragon Breath: Death]. [Trap Magic: Area Explosion]. [Rune Magic: Power Amplification].'
He would simply spam all of his Skills at the sa ti.
Using all of them at full power, all activating instantly, they would surely be enough to prevent him from using such power… right?
—WRONG!
The mont those powers were sent towards him, a golden barrier appeared all around him—incredibly similar to what the Visitor had used after activating that strange cube.
All attacks were nullified—all of them were deflected.
None of them worked.
Then… with Jet's Chaos Blade pointed towards him, and sothing white glowing right at the tip, Wili'am had yet another thought.
'I… I HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM HERE!'
If changing Zones didn't work on his opponent, then Wili'am figured he could just do it to himself.
He could simply switch out his position.
However…
~ZZTZ!~
… Even that did not work!
"WHY… WHY IS NOTHING WORKING?!" The Skeletal Dragon Lord scread as he tried to sharply descend, unable to fully think given the ti constraint that weighed heavily on him.
However, thanks to the other constraint that held him down, he could not move.
"LET GO! LET GO NOWWWW!!!"
Wili'am, now stuck in midair and out of any other options, wriggled and squird within the chains that bound him.
There was only one more alternative, but judging from the bright light that was already condensed at the tip of Jet's blade, Wili''am knew he didn't have enough ti to know if it would work.
However, in desperation, his thoughts called out for the only Skill that could possibly save him in this predicant.
'[Ethereal Form]! [Ethereal Form]!! [ETHEREAL FORM]!!!'
[Ethereal Form] allowed Wili'am to transform his body into a ghost-like form, hence becoming a phantom-like entity. It was almost like turning into a Specter, since it allowed its targets to pass through things.
Unlike regular other similar Skills, like [Phase], which had many limitations—such as the disruption of all senses when in use—[Etheral Form] did not have any of those weaknesses.
Also, unlike [Phase], which made the user still vulnerable to energy-based attacks even if they were intangible, [Ethereal Form] made the user immune to either energy-based attacks or purely physical attacks.
Never both at the sa ti, though.
Seeing as the power that was rushing from Jet was made of pure energy, Wili'am obviously went with the Energy Immunity option.
Then, without any further announcent… the one second was over.
And so, the bright burst of light was sent forth.
It looked like white light—one so bright and intense that it was impossible to truly decipher its true color.
To all who witnessed it, their sense of color and discernnt were suspended. The overwhelming clash of spectrums and the sheer multiplicity of complex powers that raged and flowed inside it was too much for any mind to process.
And so, due to being indescribable, the mind could only register a blank color.
White.
White light rained down on the Skeletal Dragon Lord in a swift motion, much faster than the sound that was bound to follow much later.
It fell before the Fallen Dragon Lord could properly register another thought.
No… that wasn't quite true.
There was a trailing thought that flowed within the mind of Wili'am as he felt his mind and body fade into obscurity.
Its existence and nonexistence seed to clash and converge at a single point, and while he had that sole thought, it felt as if that was the only thought he had ever conceived throughout his ager lifespan.
'Ah… I'm dead.'
~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!~
The white light easily destroyed everything surrounding the Skeletal Dragon Lord, like a flood of water that gushed down without end. It burst through theground and the walls, easily breaking through everything beneath even them.
Floor after floor, the Divine Ray traveled down and devastated everything in its path.
Nothing was spared.
No… nothing could be spared.
The forr Dragon Lord did not know this, but [Divine Rey] was not an energy or physical attack. It couldn't even be qualified as just an attack.
It was all of those things at once.
All of destruction clashing upon creation in a spectrum of light so intense that no one could even comprehend.
Anyone bathed under such a radiation—irrespective of the resistance they offered—was bound to et an inescapable fate.
—Complete obliteration!
The Skeletal Dragon Lord was a witness to this, as was the crowd that watched this epic display with gaping mouths.
It felt like the dance of celestial lights, but converged within a single blast.
Nothing remained after that.
It was just as Jet had declared it to be…
… The end.
*********
'And now, that's finished…'
As Rey looked down on the destruction he had wrought, a lot of thoughts flowed through his mind. He didn't have enough ti to process all of them, considering how the next phase of his plan ca soon after.
'It's about ti I wrapped this up.'
And with that single thought, his body fell—descending to the shattered earth.

Thanks for reading!
Well… that Skill is really OP, all things considered. Insta-kill!
