The Sentinel approached Sophia with thunderous steps, each one leaving deep dents in the floor. Sophia immediately shifted into a battle stance, her sword poised over her elbow, ready to fight.
Meanwhile, Richard lay on the ground, struggling to get up. He knew Sophia couldn't defeat the Sentinel—it had the strength of an Overlord, while she was merely a Master.
Gritting his teeth, Richard thought desperately, 'Come on... I can't let it end like this.'
He forced himself up onto one knee, refusing to watch his daughter fight alone.
'How could the great Detonotus stand by while his daughter battles for him?'
With fierce resolve, Richard pushed to his feet, shouting, {"CREPITUS!"}
The ground around him exploded with power. Richard had unleashed his Mythic Ability, no longer caring about the backlash on his body.
If he had to break himself to win, so be it. Meta essence and explosive aura surged around him like a storm.
