Neo's brow creased.
He dashed forward. Shadow soldiers fought against the creatures of Blood Sea.
Chains of Hell warped around the opening in the sky through which the Blood Sea poured into the land.
The sealing magic shrank the opening and reduced the influence Blood Sea would exert at once.
Blood clashed against Death. Fist against blade.
Neo's strikes were precise and filled with titanic power.
Vlad's blood morphed endlessly into walls, blades, dragons, spikes, serpents.
Each strike they traded split mountains. Their battle flattened forests and boiled lakes. Storms howled in all directions.
Vlad formed a blood dome.
Neo shattered it with a downstroke. He kicked Vlad through the remains. The ground of Zone 8 crumbled beneath them.
He picked Vlad and threw him with enough force that when Vlad hit the dimensional barrier between Zone 7 and Zone 8, it shattered without any resistance.
He was already upon Vlad before he crashed.
