Ashes danced across the battlefield like snow.

  The first Seraph—Duran the Silent Blade—had fallen. His divine core shattered. His essence devoured by Li Feng’s awakened blade.

  But the sky did not weep.

  It raged.

Wreathed in white fire and golden starlight, Seraph Caeli dropped from the heavens like a comet. She was known as the Psalm of Radiance, a Seraph who had burned seven false prophets with a single verse of divine light.

  Now, her song turned against one man.

  

  “You are corruption incarnate, Li Feng.

  Your death shall be sung as the cleansing of the age.”

  

  Li Feng replied with only one word:

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  “Sing, then.”

  Caeli’s attacks took the form of verses—each syllable a shockwave, each chorus a barrage of holy flame.

  

  ?? Verse I: Sanctify the Flesh

  – Causes flesh to ignite with divine fire.

  – Damage over time: 500/s

  

  ?? Verse II: Break the Cycle

  – Silences all enemy abilities for 5 seconds.

  Li Feng’s response?

  

  [Heavenpiercer Pulse: Consume & Echo]

  – Target locked: Divine Song Signature

  – Effect: Nullify last verse, then echo it with heretic twist

  He stole her song.

  Then he corrupted it.

  

  ?? Echoed Verse II: Rupture the Faith

  – Silences enemies with divine alignment for 10 seconds

  – Causes Doubt Damage: amplifies internal conflict

  Caeli fell to her knees mid-song.

  Her lips trembled. Her eyes—once flames—now flickered with fear.

  

  “How… do you echo Heaven?”

  Li Feng walked forward, step by step.

  

  “Because I remember what it sounds like… when it lies.”

  With a final slash, Heavenpiercer screamed like a falling star.

  Seraph Caeli shattered—her soul torn into seven crystal notes.

  They rained down like broken hymns.

  – Description: You have slain two Heaven-sanctioned entities

  – Effect: +30% resistance to divine-type suppression

  – Bonus Trait: Aura of Defiance – Lowers morale of Heaven-aligned enemies nearby

  As the Grave of Stars settled into silence, Li Feng stared up at the torn sky.

  Only five Seraphs remained.

  But deep within the cracked dome of Heaven, something stirred.

  A chain snapped.

  A seal groaned.

  The Council of Light grew quiet… and someone—something—began to descend that was not supposed to.

  Not yet.
