The Overlord's heirloom pulsed with overwhelming mana, granting Alister one final transformation.
His form burned with celestial light, his body kept on changing, merging the powers of all past Overlords.
"AGHHHHHH!"
He roared as he let out a breath of radiant multicolored light at the darkness.
But even that wasn't enough.
The darkness loomed closer, whispering wounds that made Alister feel uneasy.
"Even the greatest Overlords fall."
"#####."
FIZZLE
The memory splintered.
In the next instant, he was already impaled, drowning in the sea of darkness as he felt his body being slowly consumed.
In those moments, as he stared out into the night sky, he managed a chuckle. "I'm sorry, Mar'Garet… I guess... I won't be making it back home."
His vision slowly faded, but before it did, he heard a statement, a voice similar to his yet different, but this one was clear, almost as if it were whispered into his very soul.
"Are you going to try again?"
"Only to fail?"
